Hey mon,
Settlers... mmm, settlers is great :-) love it... BUT I dont know about playing it portable .... I mean if you're on a train you wont get far, heh! ... I guess in the home would be alright... ANYWAYS I wanted to say that if you use the savestates that are available on this website, you may need kickstart 3.1, as the guys here pretty much design the states to run on only 3.1.
For the most part, 3.1 doesnt update MUCH (for games), however it really helps when creating startup-sequences as theres more/different commands that can be used.
When Settlers was made, it was designed to run on most Amigas (if you remember), but the more ram or CPU speed you had, the more details you could have in-game. If you were stuck on a 1mb amiga 500, you could only have a certain world size, aswell as 10% sound-fx with no music... upgrade to 2mb then you had 100% sound and music (best upgrade I ever bought for the amiga!) ... with a higher CPU speed, you could have a MASSIVE world-size aswell as full music and sound. - basically, Settlers had a GREAT design that worked flawlessly. (NONE of the sequels lived up to the first one!)
PSX emulator on the PSP, yeaaahh :-) I just "recieved" retaliation... but I'd like to play the original CnC or RA on the PSX :-) ... I've spent a LONG TIME wishing for a portable copy of any of these games.
