Switchblade 2 in 0.8.22R2

ervin · 22 November 2002, 08:19

Hi all.

Has anyone had any luck running Switchblade 2 under the latest WinUAE?

I'm trying several games, and have had lots of success running them (even with the floppy slider set to something higher like 400%), but, no matter what I do, Switchblade 2 won't work.

I've tried changing RAM, cpu speed, floppy speed.

What's really weird is that it actually causes WinUAE to freeze.
Yes, WinUAE itself freezes and the whole computer slows down to a crawl. WinUAE has to be killed with Task Manager.
Strange.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

I've found a solution - the problem was that I had (in the CPU settings tab) selected "Fastest possible, but maintain chipset timing".
This setting seems to cause some compatibility issues. Bummer.
Although I haven't had too many other problems with this setting.

Many old games require exact A500 CPU speed, that's just why the "real A500 speed" option is for!

Yeah I know, but since 0.88.22R2 I've had serious slowdown issues with that setting, so I'm trying to avoid it.
