 Re: Elite: a ruthless comparision

In the past I checked Elite different versions on Youtube. ZX Spectrum version looks a little more stuttering, similar to C64 level. I was a little surprised, as it runs on 3.5MHz, but we all know that our fav 6502 roots seems run more efficient (BTW eZ80 seems to catch up 10 yeras later, at 1Mhz simiar speed az usual Z80 with 4MHz).
Surprisingly SAM Coupe (run almost 100% ZX Spectrum identical code) did not benefit too much from the 6MHz Z80B processor, almost the same speed as ZX Spectrum, though does not run in emulation mode. It is mainly due to wait cycles of CPU to video processor (erh, I have never heard about such bad design effect yet, hehe happy )
