Optimal WinUAE settings for Alien Breed 3D II TKG

16 March 2015, 12:08

Dear all,

I've done a few searches, but I can't really find any help on this one.

I'm a big fan of the Alien Breed 3D games and especially TKG. However, I don't seem able to match the smoothness and speed of some of the videos I see on YouTube. When I run TKG, it's always just a bit jerky/laggy when I know the playability could be much better.

I've tried ticking various boxes like 060 and more ram etc. but I don't know really what I'm doing and I'm probably doing more harm than good.

I have a meaty games machine and I'm using WinUAE v3 so I should just be able to let it rip - I just don't know how.

Any help much appreciated.

A 68040/60 with JIT enabled, "fastest possible" CPU emulation speed and the game runs pretty smooth.

Really even 020 and AGA plus 8MB RAM should be good enough. The key really is ticking the "fastest possible" box like Retro-Nerd says. Also try running it in full screen and also try with and without the "JIT" option ticked. Turning that on should give an enormous speed boost!

Yep, JIT makes it silky smooth. And no graphic glitches afair.

That worked a treat, guys. Thank you.
