Hey folks - with the cleanup of posts here, please let me know if this is not relevant enough.. I wanted to document practical software applications of the Vampire accelerator on the Amiga other than the obvious giant hardware improvements (DIGITAL-VIDEO, Fast storage, 128MB+ RAM, etc): Applications: - Web Browsing (Reasonable speed for daily use) - Mac emulation -- 68030 or faster requiring games/apps work well - Software compression speed significantly improved (i.e. LHA)* - MP3s now possible without additional hardware - Advanced text editors are much faster - Amiga MAME (significant # of games running at full speed?) - Compatibility: No/less workarounds needed for different processors due to all instructions being present on Apollo core Games: - Frontier Elite 2 (high fps, can run max quality) - SCUMMVM Games all playable - Alien Breed 3D/Alien Breed II 3D (very playable) - Quake (now playable) - 68040/68060 "required" games - https://www.google.com/#q=site:hol.abime.net+060 Other: - Modern demo compos (1996-today) requiring 68060 all run great
