Wow. Immediate impression - the game seems to run a lot faster. Compare the spinning Cobra MkIII at the start with the stock version of Elite. I wonder how that was achieved.

[Weiv]

Yes, 3d-engine of the game is noticeably accelerated. But, as for me, it's not the most remarkable feature of the game)

Source?

[Weiv]

Highly unlikely) Maybe later, if we are lucky enough)

It is just guess but with 128KB they could unroll loops, replace computations by LUTs and use second screen instead of copying from buffer to screen memory.

Great optimalisation.

Open the original and the modified version and compare them on the title screen. For me, the mod runs about 3 times faster.
Zx Spectrum has a lot of hidden potential

Thank you so much!

The acceleration is visible. Surely this will beat the DMA version.

Elite Legend looks very clean. Besides of speed optimization, also text output looks much better with proportional font.

DMA version only accelerates buffer copy to screen (works only with MB02,03 and DataGear). Frankly, speed improvement is barely visible. I believe Elite Legends went much further with speed optimizations.

It's not my release, I just share it here. There was even little bit faster optimization of original 3d-engine by [mention]krt17[/mention] , and it was for 48k machine.

That's even better, is this version also available somewhere ?

As I know, it is not available in free access, try to ask author, [mention]krt17[/mention].

I’ll definitely be giving this a blast, I wonder how it plays in 7MHz mode on the Next?

Thanks, I just tried it a bit, the speed is really good for the 48k version, but I don't think it's faster than Elite Legend.
It will probably be faster on the 128/TRD version, but at the moment we only have this snapshot file to test.
btw, the new cockpit looks really great.

Yes, I compared them when Elite Legend was in development, now it is surely faster.
