I am running all my pinball simulations that run under WinNT (currently Timeshock and Addiction) on a non-x86 compatible DEC Alpha based computer via a binary translator (not just an emulator). Because of some waeknesses I thought it would be nice to give my pinball sims a new hardware platform, preferrably a socket 7 MB and a AMD K6-2 CPU. After having read a (rather recent) message from Sander Verweij (using a K6 233) I'm not so sure if this is the right way to go. Sander: Did you try to run the Win32 version of Timeshock under NT or Win95 only (the latter beeing less performant than the former)? Adrian B.: How important is floating point performance for Timeshock? Off topic: Will BRUSA run on NT? Addiction players: On my hardware platform reaction of flippers to keyboard input comes a tick too late. Is this symptomatic for Addiction or is this an artifact caused by my exotic setup using a binary translator? Regards, Stefan Schroepfer scr@iis.fhg.de
