New Ematrix 030 Accelerator For A1200?

[kd7ota]

For the Amiga there's two revisions of Wing Commander: WC1 and WC1 AGA.  However I've heard that the AGA version suffers from broken code that actually made it run slower than the ECS version (although there's supposed to be a fan patch that fixes that, too).

And, yeah, an 030 card does WC a treat (although it ran pretty OK on my A500 with AdSpeed back in the day).

K, thanks for letting me know of the AGA version.  The game ran fine and didn't lock up. Tried to do more with it to get the accelerator to flake out, but no luck.  I do have 3.1 roms on it as well.

Also there was a CD32 version but I'm not at all sure it was any different than a title screen change between it and the AGA version, if that.

Thank you Paul!


Time to test it!

:idea:

That game is Mad Professor Mariarti. Let it run into the intro (don't press fire to start the game) and it will freeze somewhere quite soon (highscore screen iirc).

Without the fixes you'll get freezes in some games (with 1D4 and 2B board revisions):

I had to do the rev 2B fix found here http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/amiga_hacks/A1200_Mobo_fix/a1200_mobo_fix.html

Read what I wrote again. Two things, timing fix and add a startup-sequence line (for the ACAtune software).

Heh, sorry I read that as "I had to do timing fixes, it wasn't so hard (back) then (when I got my card), I just added a line to my startup-sequence". Punctuation, dear sir, punctuation!
