  • I have started to compile a list of games which take advantage of the turbo mode. Since i can obviously not test all games :) it would be great if you would name whatever such games you know of, so i can add them to this list.


    In advance: this is explicitly (only) about games that don't just run faster as a whole, but those that will work "correctly" when the turbo is active, and eg maintain a higher framerate. Games that use the 2MHz mode of the C128 by using $d030 also fall into this group.


    NOT relevant would be eg: Driller, Elite, Stunt Car Racer (these just run faster as a whole). Relevant would be eg: Slipstream, Uridium+, Test Drive 2


    Please also test the games on the list - as i am right now compiling it from other lists (mostly C128 enhanced games) - and let me know if they work right.


    The following are the games i tested that do NOT qualify - ie they will just run faster as a whole, and often become unplayable:


    Chase HQ

    Cholo

    Elite (original version)

    Encounter

    Empire Strikes Back

    Mercenary

    Moonfall

    Power Drift

    Space Rogue

    Starwars

    Star Glider

    Stunt Car Racer (a patched version was released by cobbpg)

    The Great Escape

    Thunderblade

    Turbo Charge


    all Freescape games:

    A Chance in Hell

    3DKit - Game eXtreme version

    Castle Master

    Cyborg 2900

    Dark Side

    Driller

    Time Crystal

    Total Eclipse

    Total Eclipse 2

  • Test Drive and Test Drive 2 also support $d030. Works nice in 2MHz. I usually play both with the FPGA Turbo Setting of 4MHz.

  • The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
