WHDLoad game question - performance

[Leffmann]

Do all WHDLoad games run, say on a 030 50, at the exact speed as the 68000, or do some get a benefit / extra smoothness? If it's the former, how are the varying speeds of accelerators accounted for? Are folks running a little benchmark up front and then using the result as a variable for the delay loop multiplier?

Almost all games will run in the speed they were designed to run in, regardless of any accelerators installed, and they will almost always use the display frequency as a clock source, and won't need to take the speed of any installed accelerators into account.

Boosting your Amiga with an accelerator and lots of RAM is well cool, but for just playing WHDLoad games it's money in the lake.

I've got an accelerated A1200 myself, and with a hobby like this it doesn't make sense to question why we soup up our Amigas like we do.

It was just meant as an advice in general to people who are looking to get into WHDLoad, as some are easily led to believe that they must get a 28 MHz 68030 with 16M RAM or whatever, to play the same game that ran on their 512K Amiga 500.
