I'm not a huge fan of emulating Amiga, but seeing now as the lastest MINT (mate) distro appears to be playing friendly with my laptop, I decided to install it and figured I'd try to get familiar with FSUAE while I was adjusting back to Linux (Haiku where are you?!?!).
So what I need to know first off, is how I set up the JIT options. I'd like to set up Amikit, but the guide on the Amikit page is for EUAE, which has a different user interface.
I don't see a place for JIT in FSUAE, but I've heard it supports it. Is this something I need to manually enter into the config file? And if so, what should I put in there?
-
Strange, this page doesn't even have JIT as an option...

Do you have the 32bit version installed?
If so then just select A4000/040 as the model in FS-UAE Launcher and that's it.
If you have the 64bit version installed then you need to remove it with:
sudo apt-get remove fs-uae
Then you install the 32bit version with:
sudo apt-get install fs-uae:i386

Well now this is odd. After I install the i386 version, I am not able to insteall the FS-UAE Launcher.
It says: Error: Dependency is not satisfianble: fs-uae

That's because you haven't added the package repository listed on the download page http://fs-uae.net/download/
Installing a package manually is a last resort as you won't get automatic updates when they are available and the package could break when other things are updated that it relies on.
Do this to prevent future breakage.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fengestad/stable

Well poop. Now I'm back to this again.
E: Unable to locate package fs-uae
EDIT: OK, this is strange. If I open a ternminal, type in su, then my pass world, then type in "apt-get install fs-uae:i386", then it will download and install. Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be any improvement in speed, the direcotories still display somewhat slow. I'll install Picasso and see if that changes anything.
-
Nope, now I have a very nice looking display and a slow virtual 4000.

That was a typo on my behalf sorry. As you wrote, it should be fs-uae:i386
You should definitely install p96 as it will speed up a lot.
If you are still getting problems after that, PM me and I'll send you a working config and OS3.9 installation if you want.
Also it could be that you haven't got hardware accelerated 3D drivers installed as FS-UAE uses OpenGL for everything.

whats the spec of your lappy ?

Quadro FX 770M/PCIe/SSE2
I am running a Dell Precision M4400 using the official NVIDIA drivers.
For the note I have managed to run Deus Ex and Call of Cthulu under Wine... though the resolution is always screwed up when I exit them. :)

That's one thing eliminated then. :)

Basing my new config file on the one you sent me, I ended up gettomg things working correctly for the most part. Still gota fix my TV display if possible, but other than that, everything is much better!

You don't need the following lines as you've set amiga_model=A4000/040
uae_chipset = ecs
uae_cpu_model = 68030
uae_fpu_model = 68882I have those as I am emulating an A3000/030.

OH ya, I need to correct that, thanks!

Alright, this is strange...
I was running at an average of about 46 MIPS. Then I installed MegallanII and it dropped down to about 34 MIPS. I've never heard of software reducing MIPS before, but what ever...
So I deleted my OS folder and re-populated it with my back up of a clean OS 3.9 install with both official Boing Bags. Oddly enough, my MIPS remain at 34 instead of 46, and I know I didn't change FS-UAE's settings anymore so what could cause something like that to happen? And why isn't it getting closer to 100 MIPS anyhow? My 1200 with 80Mhz Apollo is faster than this.
-
Running off battery?
-
Never. Though I will say this. I just installed WinUAE under WINE and I'm getting 256 MIPS! :)
-
I have a configuration page for FS-UAE:
http://www.aros-platform.de/html/fs_uae.html
for JIT you must put in this: uae_cachesize = 8192
Sorry I just saw that it is already in your config file. Then JIT should work.
-
Thank you, and yes that was in my config already. Dunno what happened. No idea why WinUAE is performing so much better even under WINE either. Strange.

Where are you all seeing the mips?
Is that even at all accurate?

If you upgrade to FS-UAE 2.4 beta, you can install fs-uae:i386 at the same time as fs-uae-launcher on 64-bit deb-based distributions!
http://fs-uae.net/download-beta
As has been noted already, the uae_cachesize option must be used to enable JIT. While JIT will make the A4000/040 model run substantially faster than without, the JIT/fastest-possible support in FS-UAE isn't really optimized yet, so getting a somewhat "faster Amiga" when using WinUAE is to be expected.
