Summary0006567: CannonFodder on A530
DescriptionA500+, A530, REV8a 2mb chip, 8MB FAST, 3.1 KS 3.1WB

CannonFodder on A530 + WHDLOAD - performance is trash. SUPER SLOW. Game is unplayable. Second mission will show you why.

CannonFodder on HD8+ WHDLOAD - stock a500 performance. Quick Loading.

CannonFodder on A530 on Gotek/FDD - perfect performance ingame. Zero lags. Steady framerate like on CD32 with TF328/fastram. Perfect.

CannonFodder on A530 + JST runs 100% better than on WHDLOAD. It is playable... I would say the performance is close to stock A500 sometimes worse sometimes even better. There are slowdowns.

So in this game combo WHDLOAD with A530 destroys performance. I wonder if it is fixable and what is the reason behind this. Or is this Chipmem issue. Clearly the game can take advantage of A530 but only from floppy. So it is possible.Just leaving it out here maybe some day it will be possible to fix.
