Amiga Games at 50 fps

[Christian]

How about Overdrive by Team17. Awesome by Psygnosis?

@Retro-Nerd

Yup, but since Sandro disputed it, I'd like a confirmation before proceeding.

@Sandro

I suppose that by putting that slider to 1 you'll get the desired result.

Left most: every frame, second step: every other frame, third step: every third frame and so on. (Originally it had a label but it was removed because lack of GUI space)

Added all games suggested so far. I'm adding another symbol ($) next to each game I've tested to be ok on NTSC. So, plz, if you have tested a game and know it to be good under NTSC (or Pal 60Hz), just say so and I'll add the indication.

Note: some games do work with NTSC option enabled, but they actually revert to pal automatically ie Kid Chaos ECS and CD32 versions. I won't include those, just games which can really run under NTSC (or Pal 60Hz mode).


Also, I've checked Wings of Death and seems to be @50 and I've added it as well. What about lethal xcess though?
Added Max Rally and Turbo Trax as well, both seem very smooth scrollers, I think sprites update at 50 too.

Edit:
Rally Championships AGA added

[Retro-Nerd]

Yup, but since Sandro disputed it, I'd like a confirmation before proceeding.

He is probably doing something wrong in emulation, or he doesn't have a proper monitor for PAL games. Lionheart is clearly 50fps. There is really no question about it. Why do you think it's not 50fps? That's the better question.

[vulture]

I do think it is a 50 fps game and it runs fine on NTSC and seems to be perfectly smooth on 60 fps too. It wasn't me who disputed it, I had it in the list from the beginning. But, since Sandro thinks otherwise, I think it's fair to have the disputed asterisk raised until the fps rate is verified by Toni's winuae method. In general, I'm trying to keep the list open to all suggestions. If someone disputes a frame rate, I'll raise the asterisk until we know for sure.

EDIT:
I've added Fighting Spirit and Black Viper for ECS and AGA since nobody has disputed them after I suggested their addition. Also added Total Football.

[Retro-Nerd]

Then i can verify it's 50fps with Toni's Custom Event trick. Try it for yourself.

Next game for the list: Universal Warrior.

@Retro-Nerd
No need to try it myself, I'm removing the asterisk then, thx for testing it!
Adding Universal Warrior too.

[Retro-Nerd]

Apprentice too.

[vulture]

Added!

I have to say, for a system that is "known" to have only few 50 fps games, the list has grown a lot and it has only been up for a couple of days! Thank you all for participating, let's keep it up!

[Retro-Nerd]

Till 1990 most Amiga games were plain Atari ST ports. From then on a lot of games were exclusive Amiga developments which used the custom chips properly. You will find many more 50fps games for your list.

[vulture]

Yup! I think that's gonna grow to be a very big list at the end!

Added Blastar, The Adventures of Quik & Silva, Metal Law, T-Racer, Ultra Violent Worlds AGA and XP-8 ECS and AGA

[nobody]

Most Ocean France, Team 17, Rainbow Arts games are 50 fps. Also later Thalion games like lionheart, which i believe is the most impressive A500 game. Out of this world graphics and sound. This was coin op level. Zoom a screenshot and look carefully at the graphics, look at the detail, pixel by pixel. Incredible job.

[Retro-Nerd]

More horizontal shmups.

Cardiaxx
Carcharodon - White Sharks
Dragon Breed
Lunar-C (CD32)
Gainforce
Tubular Worlds
Ilyad
The Oath
Lethal Zone
Necronom
Ziriax
Phobia

[vulture]

@retro-nerd

I'll add those unless someone has an objection. When you find some time, could you plz test tubular worlds before I add it again though? I originally had it in the list , but removed it after someone said it's a 25 fps game.

[nobody]

Would be great if there was a tag like "50 fps game" to these in HOL

[vulture]

good idea, I hope they add it, who should we be asking for this?

Mmh, seems indeed a 25fps game though i can't see it on screen. Strange, looks absolutly smooth here (also no ghosting).

[vulture]

thx for testing, so it's indeed a 25fps game.

[Retro-Nerd]

Well, then some games has to removed. Ziriax e.g. seem 25fps too. Nothing happens if you change the Display -> Refresh rate. OK, will do some proper tests again. Eyes only verification isn't enough as it seems.
