WHDLoad, One-on-One, WinUAE, and running too fast

I thought so...

Why? You know the famous ones like this (posted several times), right?

To sum it all up, to have "Dr J. vs. Larry Bird One on One" run correctly under WHDLoad (with WinUAE 1.4.6 and ClassicWB Full, anyways), I ultimately did:
(1) Load the ClassicWB.uae configuration.
(2) On the CPU page, untick the JIT box. (note that I didn't need to pick the A500 mode on the CPU page).
(3) On the Chipset page, tick the Cycle-Exact box.
(4) Hit Start and enjoy the game.

Glad you found a solution. It is actually mentioned in the ClassicWB FAQ:

Gamebase Amiga+WHDLoad obsoletes the use of an AmigaOS, it uses WHDRun to start the games. So there is no need for JIT in emulation.

Nah, a modern PC is perfectly capable of running the ClassicWB packs without JIT. The FULL is lightening fast on my PC without JIT and the P96 version is perfectly usable (on a old 2Ghz Athlon XP). Workbench emulation without JIT is more comparable and compatible to a real Amiga experience so I actually use non-JIT configs quite often as it feels more like a genuine accelerated A1200.

I'm sure WHDload can be configured via tool types to disable JIT and set other WinUAE options when launching a game now can't it, so I guess it's all kind of a mute point if you use JIT or not for Workbench? Or have I been smoking too much again!

Gamebase Amiga is great, but I like emulating as close to the real thing for nostalgia reasons so that includes going through Workbench for gaming. Call me a traditionalist!

I have to admit, Gamebase is great for when you want to fire up some quick games when friends come round or running on a frontend driven dedicated retro pc.

It works for CWB Lite here, when you switch to "Adjustable between CPU and chipset". No chance for AmiKit or AmiSys, it needs JIT for a reasonable speed.

Of course you can, but will you configure the whole KGWHD packs for me?

Yeah, the eye candy packs require the extra power for a nice experience, but I'd be interested to see how fast a modern CPU can emulate an Amiga without JIT. Like I said, all my packs are fine without JIT on an old CPU - after all most were built with an 020 14Mhz in mind. It's only the hogging tasks like MP3 playback that's going to bring them to their knees.

As for the tooltypes you have a point, I guess that's why I've never bothered. It woundn't be that bad if you just did it on an as-need basis though. No need to do them all at once - pace yourself!

We need a Workbench tool to set tooltypes. Perhaps there is one on Aminet?

Yep, such a tool would be awesome.
