Sound on the emulators is still somewhat buggy... usually not as crisp. The
Amiga sound hardware was VERY complex and makes emulation extremely
difficult.

It wasn't that complex at all -- any simple DSP-based chip is

Not sure how this is related, but the Jaguar's multi-tap was used so

honestly can't remember any other games that use the multi-tap on the
Jag.
I couldn't either, so I looked at the Jag FAQ. There's

Yeah, a bit lame, but nothing a multi-tap doesn't fix. That's the type of
cost cutting feature I can agree with. That makes perfect sense and keeps
the cost down. Texture memory on the other hand is not a place to skimp.

You can convert the floppies, BUT it's very tricky. The Amiga used an 800k
floppy

I was just kidding Jim :) Of course Moby Games is reliable: Catacomb Abyss
was finished in Nov.1991, but released only in 1992, so Moby Games is, as
usual, right! :)
That's still quite useful -- I'm going to add it to Versions info.
Thanks!

Sure...but it is still sadly lacking in texture memory. It is it's biggest

Then I stand corrected, unless the PS2 only supports interlaced output.
If so, your 640x480 image was getting output as 640x240 :-(
The texture memory (4 MB, that's it?!) is indeed a joke. Geez, even the

profit on hardware (instead of software only).
