You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Got mine today, works well so far but only tried a couple of the roms.

I have noticed a significant difference in the gembench results when run off the cartridge, compared to running off of floppy.

I presume this is due to the difference in rom and ram speed on my Pak compared to the speed of the rom on the cart port?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

It depends what the default file was on the cart... you will have to load the STFM one in both cases to compare.. It shouldn't matter speed wise if run from cart or floppy.. at least AFAIK it shouldn't..

Could well be the cart one has a STE as the default file ?

I didnt compare actual percentages but the times recorded for each test. I'll post some results tomorrow if it helps?

Yeah.. might help if you can try a stock STFM run from floppy and cart.. I only just got home, my machine is busy testing the SEC booster atm.

Yeah no problem, will try tomorrow.

It might be something as simple as caches being disabled by default or something similar.

68000 will probably be fine.
