Syndicate
if you have more than 1MB, some game assets are stored in RAM, reducing loadings (a lot) |

Mr Nutz is already in the list, but it's interesting the fact that it could be possible to cache the entire game in RAM, if you have enough, just playing it
same for the Turrican serie |

just playing Brian the Lion atm, under emulation
already in the list also this one, btw it's imo interesting the precache method it does use : if you have 2MB or more, the entire disk 2 is preloaded at boot but if you have 4,5MB or more, all the three gamedisks will be precached at boot, and the game can be played totally from RAM |

Confirmed F/A-18 Interceptor: 512 chip + 512 of any ram enables intro music.
Some versions don't have full sound on 512k (use [cr A-Ha]). On 512k disable extra drives. |

Ghosts 'N Goblins - The flier and Last Gamer on YT pointed to there being different versions. Confirmed that the music works on 1mb with the Flashtro ADF.
[ Show youtube player ] The slowdowns are improved in this version but are not completely gone. It seems to run better without the music on 512k, which might indicate that the music routines cause the slowdown. Last edited by breech; 23 July 2022 at 09:52. |

Just want to say that I've been debating whether to upgrade to a simple ECS Agnus, or splurge on an ACE2b (w/ 2MB chip RAM). This thread tipped the scales in favor of the ACE2b, so thanks for your contribututions everybody! It's cool to read and see that chip RAM is good for things besides Deluxe Paint.

'Last Ninja 3 - Users with more than 512KB, assets are stored in RAM for faster load times *CONFIRMED'
just a picky thing about this seems the game will benefit only with added SLOW ram no chip or fast original ipf's tests |

With 1MB+ memory, it should be possible to switch from music to sfx (and the other way round) on the fly (by pressing F10). With 0.5MB memory only, doing so requires additional loading (swapping disks). In short, even with plenty of ram, game doesn't allow music & sfx to be played at the same time.

Most of the classic games make the list one way or another, which is pleasing to see. Looking at it quickly, probably 100 non-AGA games that either load faster or play better on an A1200 than a normal 1Mb 68000 system (the Monkey Islands, Settlers, both Dunes, both Strikes, Pinball Fantasies etc). Ideally there would have been more, of course, but its nice that an upgrade rejuvenated your old games as well as opening up new ones.

Thanks for the extra updates folks, list is now updated.
@kremiso. Yes, there can quite a few configurations leading to issues with how to catalogue all this stuff. |

With 1mb, game enables music and sound (not just music), meaning one can choose between sfx and music, activate both sfx + music and also disable sound, while with 0.5mb there's no sound at all so the options are greyed out.
As a side note, don't know if you've played other iterations of Tetris on the miggy Comrade dirk, but my favorite title music ought to be original Tetris' (Infogrames) . Last edited by SquawkBox; 12 November 2022 at 20:04. |
