Yeah no crash on 060 with cache tooltype, but it runs about twice slower compared to playing from floppies with 060 disabled.

Fixing that would require moving the code to fastmem, and Jotd has said it being very difficult and time consuming work. https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1426470

imho vampire specific issues that are not reproduced on classic 040/060 accelerators should be fixed by Apollo, and are not worth of valuable time of WHDload authors

Edit: Tested the slave on stock A1200+8mb WinUAE config, and it's still very slow compared to floppy version on a same config, so it's not just the slow chipmem access of 060.

Edit 2: Ignore previous edit, forgot the Cache option when testing on 020, the speed is ok with it.
