Emulators on an Amiga.

What made it better on the C64 version? I have to admit to actually owning and completing it on the Atari ST and really enjoyed the game.

Possibly nostalgia and rose tinted glasses or just sometimes simple is better. It's one of those things that is hard to quantify. Tell you what i'll try both and see which i prefer.

Unfortunatly the C64 version would only run at 50-60% so i couldn't truly compare the two but i think the controls on the Amiga version are more sluggish and less delicate than what i remember of the C64 version. Next time an AmigaOne comes up on ebay Harrison you can but it for me so i can study this extensivley. Hint. Hint.

Your doing better than me, although still not good enough.
Could have sworn I was better off with just the 060 using software other than Vice.
Will look into this.

Thanks for letting me know. I now know that my CV64/3D is not hindering me too much then.

The latest version of Magic64 seems to operating at around 350% speed when just at the basic start screen.
In comparison VICE under OS4 ranges between 95 and 105%.
This drops to around 35% when Wizball is loaded.

Magic64 is running of my 060 whereas VICE is running off the PPC.

Ran Magic64 under OS4 and therefore it was emulated at 020 speeds.
Operated at 150% at basic start screen

I didn't get to test games properly last night using Magic64 due to one or two minor issues and lack of time, but will do so tonight.

The C64 version of Wizball must be using some hardware hitting routines to hit the emulation that hard. I will have to load it up in the PC version of Vice to have a play and see why everyone likes it so much.
