Paul Westphal 37 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Hi all! So a buddy and I picked up two Megs ST2's. They both came with a 16mhz accelerator + switch. No Keyboards. We both have an Eiffel 3 coming. So I did some testing with games that would auto boot, with the switch on for 16mhz, and off for 8mhz, respectivley. HOLY TOLEDO! Buggy Boy runs like its a Genesis game and the Time Bandit demo runs WAAAY to fast. 🙂 So at this point I'm thinking any game that is either 3D or that has many sprites on the screen will benefit. When the Eiffel3 comes in I will do some more comparisons and post them here. I think I'll start with painfully slow shooters.. maybe Star Wars and R*Type2..

Paul Westphal 37 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Nope, no RF out. I don't think any of them had RF out, but who knows. Have to use a monitor. Mine does have an additional 2 megs of ram for 4 total. If you happen to have a 1040 ST that does not have a RF modulator, I have the solution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Westphal 37 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Ok Guys, I posted two videos of games running in 16mhz. More to follow. RickR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Westphal 37 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Here is the Eiffel 3 from Belgium. You can connect a PS2 mouse, PS2 keyboard, USB mouse, and two joysticks. It was around $30 shipped. RickR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
