Developed a new 68k Benchmark, needs testing!

Posted by: mwdmeyer on 2026-05-04 03:49:41 Hi All, I've been working on some retro benchmark software recently for DOS/Win9x machines. It was designed to test simlar load as Starcraft would cause on a machine (so Pentium era). It has grown to include some memory latency tests and I've since built a little website to track the results. Now I've ported this to Mac 68k machines and would love some people to test it. I've tested on my LC 475 with full 68040/FPU and MacOS 7.5.5 and also on Mac 9.2.1 in a VM. Download: https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/downloads/StarRTSBench100.bin or you can see file attached here. Here is an example screenshot. It takes a while to run on 68k machines so I will port to PowerPC in future! After the benchmark runs you can submit the score online by scanning the QR code with your phone! You can view results here https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/
