Second Samurai AGA vs ECS - any tangible difference?

earok · 15 February 2016, 09:26

Comparing screenshots on HOL, I couldn't notice any difference between them

I noticed that the RAM requirement is double for the AGA WHDLoad slave - could it simply be a reduction in the number of disk loads or the like?

Run 2 copies of WinUAE side by side and load the ECS into one and the AGA into the other then play and compare

the only difference are the (dual field) backgrounds, the AGA version contain them but the normal version lacks them

in the 1st stage you can note them going far to the right,also in the bubbles part the normal version the background is black, the AGA version contain a dual field background

also the AGA version features more vivid colors

Actually, there is a Background Layer in the OCS/ECS version but it wont work with the current WHDload Slave.
Here is the thread about the broken Whdload Slave. There is a comarision pictures of the broken background layer in the Whdload Slave.

(its almost broken for 20 years but maybe one day Ross comes in to save the day)

Stay Healthy Guys.
