the use of these configurations.
I'm quite impressed with the performance really. Some forward thinking programming from the devs & how the ball movement was calculated. Not bad for a 1989 game.

amiga_model is set to A4000/040 (supported by recent FS-UAE Launcher versions). Using A4000/040 have some drawbacks as well - since emulation speed / number of cycles are different on different computers (and each time you play it), there's no reproducibility. And some games may not work properly (?) if the emulation is really fast. It also cannot be combined with net play mode. But it is a good choice when gameplay is much better than with A1200.
Please don't use A4000 if/when it's only slightly better than A1200 -In these cases, the negative points outweigh the slightly better performance.

And there it is! A4000 set for the WHDLoad variant

TODO: Can we change the default machine for the WHD, v1.2 of this game to an A4000? The frame rate is extremely slick & also the F10 quit key doesn't seem to work through the A600.
Second to the earlier comment too, there's 2 WHD variants, the second showing an intro of sorts. Digitised animation of a pool player. Perhaps name this with 'Intro'.
Thank you

The second WHDLoad variant ("Pictures") should be gone now. A4000 is certainly a lot smoother, I am considering it
Have you taken a look at & considered the A4000 as an option? Massive difference in frame rate.
WHDLoad set to A1200.

Amiga 1200 is perfect for WHDLoad variant, gives smoother view.
There is two WHDLoad variants listed. One of them seems to start some kind of 3d Pool (Pictures) which is not this game?
