Alien Breed 3D2. What the hell? It runs well on an 030

and this isn't with the WHDload version even.

On a whim, I installed the regular game, 4 MB version.

Refused to run at first. I increased the stack size quite a bit, and it loaded. Prepared for the worst, I was floored by the fact that it runs really slick. Barely worse than Gloom, if at all.


This is on my ACA030/56.

My confusion is.. I have seen people run this game on an 030, and it looked far worse. Maybe the problem all along was the RAM? (as the ACA cards use different RAM than older cards, from my understanding)

Any ideas?
Sadly I cant take any video right now. Maybe someone else with this card can give it a shot too.

edit: to be fair, its in hte standard screen size. Full screen is rather choppy.

On the "upside", this game seems to basically run when it wants to :madashell:

Half the time or more, it will hang either after the first screen, or after the main menu.

If Im not mistaken most, if not all of the recent whdload versions enhancements have come from here. I'll test it myself when my accelerator arrives, but until then I'll have to keep wondering how much of a difference the turbo patch makes

Unfortunately the turbo patch won't work with the version off the dream 17 site as its cracked.
