> But it feels kinda wrong to have that mouse cursor and have it not move perfectly smooth.

So you get the full immersive experience. :)



The "immersive experience" would have that cursor move at a solid 60FPS and negligible latency. Amiga had hardware sprites, and even software-managed sprites had comparable performance.


You also need a CRT or at least some sort of strobing refresh display to eliminate smearing from persistence of vision.


This tracker seems to resemble a PC tracker such as Fast Tracker II. Did Amiga play 16bit 32 channel XM files? Hardware mouse cursors on PC were fast, software (custom graphics cursors) were much slower.
