Key features of StrongCache 2 are :-

  Cache can be turned OFF or ON at any time.
  Timer can be set causing cache to be switched on after specified delay.
  Timer settings are stored within StrongCache 2.
  Individual cache elements can be altered (Write-back, Data and Instruction).
  *commands included allowing !Run files to be easily customised.
  WIMP front-end provided making operations as simple as possible.
  Contains Intelligent Cache Flushing fixing even more titles to work.
  Optional Double-Click trapping allowing complete transparent operation.
  Mode Definition Files included for most popular monitor types (avoiding Letterboxing).
  Speed control system causing games to run at correct speed.

Because StrongCache 2 incorporates a timer function as well as it's intelligent cache flushing features it is able to run many games simply by double-clicking them (using the optional double-click trapping). This means that StrongCache 2 can be loaded without it's WIMP front-end as a task which quietly sits in the background, and only burts into life when necessary.

For example, it is now possible to run games such as Stunt Car Racer 2000 or Star Fighter 3000 on your StrongARM equipped Risc PC without any intervention on your part, simply double-clicking the game will suffice!

Obviously, the major advantage of StrongCache 2 over its predecessor StrongCache is that it fixes more titles. Some of these are listed below :-

  Alone In The Dark
  Saloon Cars Deluxe
  ArtWorks (none StrongARM version)
  Swiv (compendium version only)
  Populous (correct speed)
  Iron Lord
  Elite (correct speed)
  Star Fighter 3000 (correct speed)
  Stunt Car Racer 2000 (correct speed)
  Chocks Away
  Agressor
  plus many more...
