Why is everybody asking about a 68040 in the 3000?
What I want to know is:
Is it possible to build a decelerator (retardator? ;-) card
with a 68000 so that I can run all my old games and demos?

A friend and I had the chance to do some playing on the amiga 3000 here in town, and found that the two games that we tried were just unplayable. Zonx (Its a public domain game that was posted last year.) was absolutely unplayable. The enemies would get to your corner before you even realized that it was time to move. Time bandits was only a little better. I think that a fix is in order. Maybe even a program that does superflous math to slow down the processor, even if the program tries to take over the whole computer... No :-). -Bennett | | meadb%tramp@boulder.colorado.edu | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | meadb!tramp!boulder!ncar.... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |meadb!tramp!boulder!sunybcs!rutgers...| | | | | | | | | |

Seems like because of all the trouble and a limited market, it would be cheaper picking up a used A1000 or A500 for a couple hundred bucks and using it to play games. Who a decelerator hack be that much more cheaper?

Who a decelerator hack be that much more cheaper? Why can't this be done with software a software program like digicel? Is the 68030 so advanced that it can't emulate (completely) a 68000? -Evan Jay Mitchell mitchell@janus.berkeley.edu
