Yeah, I never got games like ThemePark and Logical to work on a 060 for example. The 030 is far more forgiving for standard games. Saying that DrawSudio 2 (vector graphics program) was also a problem on 060 probably due to FPU programming expecting a 68881/68882? I'll have to give TFX a go on a 060.

DrawStudio 2 (FPU version) is dog slow on my 060 and is very unstable. I can't click on the font icon without multiple graphics artifacts and an eventual crash. It's sad because it used to be one of my favourites :-( I can still use it on the 030 though :-)

Every single WHDLoad slave I have encountered works on my A1200/060.  Themepark is a known dodgy slave that has issues with every computer configuration it tries to run on (saving issues and other weird things). Whether this has been fixed yet I don't know, I haven't checked in a couple of years.

DrawStudio 2 Lite was on a CUCD and it works fine on 060. TFX works fine on 060. An 060 runs everything I've thrown at it whether it be WHDLoad or application software. 060 incompatibility is a myth - I have yet to experience it. :)

DrawStudio 2 works a lot better in 24-bit page buffer mode with a Picasso IV screenmode on a 060! There is still some graphical artifacts at the top of the screen similar to what I used to get with Pagestream2 (until the page is scrolled/refreshed) but the program is now very usable. Well worth a second look :-)

Which version of TFX do you run with the 060? I've heard the 040 and FPU versions are buggy. The FPU version worked fine with my 030 system though. The following months issue of CU Amiga in 1997 after the games was put on the Cover Disc supposedly provided a less buggy 040 version on the CD but I've never tested it!
