[VIDEO] Sportstation - Blitz/Showtime HDD vs CF card Comparison
I've made a video that compares the difference between a hard drive and a CompactFlash card when used to run the Sportstation software (ver. 3.0). You can view it here:

Based on the information I've received from the previous thread (found here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=95492 ), I had anticipated different results. It's my understanding that other hard drive-based games do achieve performance gains, but I also believe those games have a much smaller disk image. I am still looking into what could have caused this outcome as well as why the Vegas hardware seems to be ignoring the, "Boot Game" dipswitch. While not a major issue as the games are playable, I am still running tests to try to resolve these problems.
