There are quite a few oldschool Amiga OCS/ECS demos that will run as intended, perfectly, smoothly only on base Amiga 1000, 500, 2000 systems with 68000 CPU -- unaccelerated. One example is TBL's Eon (2019) -- an incredible demo.
I've encountered a very few games that fall into this category also.
Will these run properly with 68000-emulator accelerators such as the PiStorm? It emulates the 68000, but can it do so with 100% never-failing, cycle-exact precision when operating as a base, unaccelerated 68000 at 7.16/7.09 MHz?
The demos I speak of fail to run or run visibly broken with most accelerators, including my A2620 (14.32MHz 68020).
...what I am actually looking for is an accelerator - of any sort - for my NTSC Amiga 2000 (6.4 NTSC motherboard) that has a physical switch to allow it to be disabled to easily enjoy these demos without having to do the mouse-button menu dance to enable/disable the accelerator. Given that I cannot apparently attach a switch to the pads on this board to switch between NTSC and PAL, I have to boot into Degrader and go to PAL for demos, and in combination with the mouse-button menu for 68000 mode and the retention behavior (or lack there of) after reboots makes this maddening. I want an accelerator with a HARDWARE SWITCH that lets me enable or disable acceleration. I just assumed that the emulated-68000 boards are not precise enough for such time-critical demos.
(Someone out there added a switch to their A2630 (nearly identical board to my A2620) - and so doing so to my board is theoretically possible, but looking at the schematics, it's beyond my abilities, quite sadly.)
Thanks.
