Artificial storage speed limits #92

Open upintheairsheep opened 2 weeks ago

upintheairsheep commented 2 weeks ago

Hello, can you provide support for artificially limiting disk I/O speeds (hard drive, optical disk, floppy disc) as flags (NOT defaults) to simulate the speed of the actual drives in an old Mac for the purpose of realism (for researching the difference of speeds, for people nostalgic about slow disk I/O speeds, and for developers of PPC Mac software and OSs that do not have a working PPC Mac themselves to test the disk speeds of a real machine)

Such a feature would require a lot of redesign of the emulator core so it's a very low priority task for us. People being nostalgic about slow disks could use real HW instead.
