Some CD32 games will run if you execute from Workbench (Robocod is a good example). They will use cd.device to load and play music.

Is the game Chaos Engine? If your expansion card has fast ram, it will break that game in the way described.
You may check to see if the card has a jumper that disables ram on it.

Shouldn't it be much higher? 68000 @ 8mhz (a500 example) is listed as 1.4 mips. While the i9 is not on there, the i7 ranges anywhere from 50k to 100k mips.
