"Wait for Blitter"...

[DamienD]

Heya Toni,

Another question if I may...

You know that I still use all my old WinUAE v1.0.0 configuration files and they work perfect 99.999% of the time.

I've setup a configuration file for "Amiga CD32" that I've been using for years with many a CD32 game and there's been no issue what-so-ever.

Today I tried out "Ultimate Body Blows" and it ran way too fast

Loaded the game using your Quickstart CD32 and all was good. Only real difference between my config and your Quickstart CD32 is that "Wait for Blitter" is ticked. Clearly this game needs it...

Anyway, now onto my question. None of my 1670+ configurations have "Wait for Blitter" ticked though I know all your Quickstarts do.

Should I be manually adding this line to all my configs just incase?

waiting_blits=automatic

...or even better, I presume that there's no harm in adding this so could you do something similar like you did with "A500 / 24-bit addressing" so it get's added to configurations that don't have it when launched?

Correction to what I've said above... It's only these Quickstarts that have "Wait for Blitter" ticked:

... A1200
... A3000
... A4000
... CD32

Anyway, the question remains... Should I add this into any of my configuration files for those above Amiga models?

Wait for blitter is compatibility hack that is enabled by default, at least until 68020 cpu emulation gets much more accurate.

It is not required.

Ok, thank you for the information Toni

Regarding "Ultimate Body Blows [CD32]", as mentioned, it's the first time I've needed to use "Wait for Blitter" in any of my A1200 or CD32 configurations.
