Don't know. Maybe just something wrong in my head. I know almost all this games in this screenshots you posted. The color does not "feel" the same everywhere. Blue-ish purple seems worse than red-ish or pink-ish purple. But the "feel" maybe is also influenced by the colors of the nearby pixels (also purple, or different shade of purple or completely different like white/black pixels) or the look of the gfx. And/or something to do with high saturation maybe. And/or other colors (green) /gfx with high saturation. And/or dithering. And/or ~"context" (purple terrain?). No idea ...

Indeed! Purple era rulezz!

True that.

Don’t suppose anyone has an ECS system with 2MB chip + some fast (or just generally non chip)? (With no accelerator, that’s the crucial thing!) + mass storage.. Most common version of this would probably be the A600 with 2chip trapdoor expansion and PCMCIA ram on the side?

I’m doing some experiments for future low spec CMO builds.. Ultimately in some cases CMOhn may have to run at 25fps or risk unreliable frame rates.. So this is good practice for both the AGA and ECS version.

WinUAE seems to be suggesting that at 25FPS CMO runs well on machines way wayyy less powerful than I’d assumed, so I could use a test subject to see if it’s just being strange?

I believe, nowadays, 2 MB Chip mem, mass storage and some kind of Fast RAM/accelerator clipped directly on the 68k (Furia EC020 et al) is pretty much standard for everyone that have an A600.

Agreed but there's always some fringe case trying to run it on as low a spec as possible and if WinUAE is correct it runs great at 25fps.. on a 7mhz 68000, providing it has 2Chip/1MBfast - with zero concessions to tone down the copper parallax or anything like that, literally the "high spec" build Ive been working on but at half fps.. Seems to run great.

And that really surprises me quite a lot. I can get rid of any "020+" nonsense, right off the bat.
