I'd like to request some specific Vampire user feedback, please. Could any kind soul post P96Speed 1.2 results using the GOLD2.9 core and SAGADriver v1.3? Thank you.

I ran all tests but only against one screen mode - the screen mode I leave my workbench in.

Well, since you offered...

640x480x8 and 800x600x16 would provide a broad comparison, I think. Thanks again for running these tests.

Results for 640x480 8, 16, 24, 32 :

Note:
P96Speed is not super accurate, results can vary by some % between 2 runs.

HAHAHA - Well, makes perfect sense to do that for sure - At least looking at your results I realized my P96 was older. I upgraded to v2 today but did not overwrite any newer files with older ones.

So there's that. :)

That's brilliant, guys! Thanks for all the reports.

Understood, I'll treat it as a guide only. Thank you for all your hard work on the drivers, flype.

So there's that.

There's also an unofficial Picasso96 2.1e (alpha) that may be worth a go.

Does this mean my A500 is now also an Atari ST? Could I load GEM onto it or play ST games?

this ATARI ST thing works also with ECS output?

I don't know. Not entirely into the AtariST thing. I tried it once on my ECS Amiga 500 and got as far as the emuTOS screen but never figured out how to get freeMint to load up.
