WHDLoad CPU question
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:35:02 PM »
I've decided I'm going to pretty much exclusively use WHDLoad for loading games / demos on my A2000. Now... I have a Commodore 68020 accelerator for it, but had pulled it (falling back to standard ECS and 68000) as there were some issues with demos, etc.

Now that we're talking about WHDLoad -- do I want to run with the 68020? Or keep it to the 68000 for games / demis via WHDLoad?

Thanks.

Until you've got enough memory to preload the stuff and they don't need a 040/060 you should be just fine on the 68020.

WHDload is not only for playing games from HD, but also for playing games on configurations that would stop the original game from running. WHDLoad benefits from from extra memory as well, so if your accelerator has extra memory, use it. If not, use it as well, since some games really benefit from some extra mhz :)

Better to stick with the 020, the problems with demo's and the likes can easily be fixed by getting hold of the correct slave files... :)
