exxosuk Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) FINALLY!! 32mhz CPU, 32mhz TOS (With waitstates ) and working with the blitter. See my site for some more info on the past couple days progress. I am going to see if I can squeeze anymore out of the TOS speed next. http://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/16mhz/index.htm#DEC92015 Image shows 32mhz with and without blitter enabled. Rodolphe is busy working on the 020 side of things, so this is looking like a awesome bit of kit. Also there is a poll over at AF for CPU booster configurations http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28976..

Xebec Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 This is awesome! I'd love to see if this boosts the speed of games like Frontier Elite II... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xebec Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I could try it is it fits on a 720k floppy.. Though I never played - It's a bit complex, but the intro scene with the various 3D parts would be a great way to see how much the 32 mhz makes a difference!. The game does fit on a single 720kb floppy -- I don't know why some of the versions out there are multiple or larger floppy sizes.. Here is the version on 2 x 360KB floppies you can probably just merge.. http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Files/files.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most probably ST-RAM speed is the let down on there. I've taken a video here... http://exxoshost.co.uk/temp/FE.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xebec Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks so much for doing this! Definitely better than stock -- off the cuff I'd say around 50% faster, but i'd agree to unlock the performance the ST ram is really holding this back.. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
