I'd rather see something more powerful than the PSX chipset. It's very good, but it's nowhere close to what's in arcades now. (Of course, it's cheaper too. 😉 For example, have you seen Daytona, Ridge Racer, or Desert Tank? Eye-popping _high res_ graphics! The PSX version of Ridge Racer had to be compromised in resolution (256×224 instead of over 640×480), frame rate (30fps instead of 60fps), and color (16-color textures instead of 256- color ones). >> As I understand it, the AAA+ and RISC change over will break every >> current Amiga software product available on the market today. Probably. So if they're going to kill backward compatibility, they might as well do it right, eh? 😉 – Jim, on AP!
