Quickstart 'Compatibility vs CPU' slider

14 October 2007, 16:21

On WinUAE's Quickstart page, if you slide the 'Compatibility vs Required CPU Power' slider all the way to 'Best compatibility', then go to the 'Chipset' page - 'Collision Level' is set to 'Sprites and Sprites vs. Playfield' (ie. the third best option out of four). Shouldn't this be set to 'Full' instead?

In fact wherever I set that slider, the collisions are always set to 'Sprites and Sprites vs. Playfield'.

This tends to stop me using the Quickstart page (I load some saved configurations instead), because I remember coming up against some games in the past which didn't work properly with collisions not on 'Full'. (Though I can't remember what games they were now... doh, me.)

There are only few games that need full collision. Not worth the slow down caused by full collision.

Correction: currently only one game called Rotor is known to need full collision.
