Compileable version of Alien Breed 3D II - The Killing Grounds

[Karlos]

I know this has come up before, but I'm still a bit intrigued. Suppose your 50MHz 030 is in a CD32. That means even if you are using the 030 optimised C2P you are spending a fair amount of time in there. Akiko is no magic bullet but I recall some benchmarks on gloom deluxe a while back that suggested it might still make an appreciable difference.

Could be worth looking into now that creating specialised builds is a bit easier to manage.

I was seeing some cool videos of your version on a Pistorm running around 35fps full screen, a) would it make it sense to lock it to 30fps/25fps so it would since with LCD screen rate as it is done on PC (they now lock at 40fps also so that if you have a 120hz monitor you can have it at 1 third of the LCD rate)? b) is it even a thing on a crt monitor?

there is already the ability to cap the frame rate.

this would be an interesting experiment

Yep, F7 cycles through caps. I cap to 25 usually because my animations look crap at 50.

I can't remember, but, is the RTG using a 'fake' VBL which is set to 50hz regardless of the screenmode selected?

Yes, I think so. When messing with the AGA modes recently I got the impression it was smoother than the RTG one. It could just be my imagination
