I agree! :) I'm using a C650. When I force it to stay around 1Mhz
(woah, cruizin'!) its very choppy. If I let it vary it's speed the
emulator runs extremely smoothly, albeit rather choppy. Still, this
thing is amazing, and 0.85r seems to run a lot more than 0.82. I thought
I'd mention that if you have 16-bit color you'll have to switch to 8-bit,
I was getting a blank screen. I was worried it wasn't working. 0.82 was
compatible with 16-bit graphics. Also, the rightmost menus (the new
ones, like Paddle) don't show up all the time, they show up after a
while, though... In any event, this is a significant advance over the
old one, and I'm really glad to see it! :) :) :)
