The T68K opensource CPU we use in FPGAArcade and Mist runs at 28MHz single cycle when using I&D cache (in replay at least). If I was to build this on a Kintex ultrascale+ 16nm device (which are relatively cheap now) I'm pretty sure it would run at the base clock of 114MHz -  which would give it similar performance to the Apollo core for zero effort. I'll try this next week.


Mike, Mist and Vampire use the same Cyclone 3 FPGA. Mist runs at 28MHz on it when Apollo runs at 100MHz. Running Apollo on Kintex would probably lead to something in the 800MHz range.

Dear all, as this thread was mainly for my review of the Vampire 600 v2, I've asked moderators to clean this thread by moving the whole licencing discussion to another thread. Posting Vampire review updates in this thread is as of today useless and would be unreadable.

Courtesy of a new Apollo Team member, R_Nev, we got today a new build of ScummVM 1.8.0 running over RTG.
 
 It's unoptimized and a WIP but it's very encouraging.

Nice, why did you not press "Cancel" so we could see Workbook running etc? :)


To tease you... :)

Haven't had a lot time to play with. I'll do it this weekend.

Hi guys,

I'm very happy to inform you that R_Nev did a new build of ScummVM RTG 1.8.0 based on what NovaCoder left as sources. Kudos to both these two guys.

It still need a bit of polishing but it already works well.

Here is a quick video of it running Sam'n'Max and Curse of Monkey Island :

Link to the exe :
http://www.apollo-accelerators.com/files/ScummVM_RTG_1.8.0.lha

Enjoy it and feel free to show us videos of gameplays and come to discuss it with us on IRC.

Post-GOLD2 WIP Core

Getting 5.2MB/s from our good ol' A600 IDE interface ;-)

Who said this was impossible ?

Got some highscores during A600 IDE speedup tests with latest WIP core.

Back to topic.

First, here is a quick video I made to demonstrate current GOLD3 WIP :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh6HClJK2c

Basically, we are now showing native Amiga chipset over HDMI.

Then, here is a quick and dirty screenshot of SimCity2000 AGA running on Vampire (yes, AGA is around the corner ;-) )

Our AMMX sorcerer Bax did it again !

To show how much AMMX can benefit AmigaOS3 applications and OS, he implemented AMMX decoding instructions into the good old JPEG datatypes.

Results are impressive.

To benchmark it, we used benchmarking protocol used on WarpDT website and current GOLD2.7 WIP :
http://www.warpdt.co.uk/jpeg.html ("visage jordan199b.jpg nojpeg time test". )

and we went from 1.759s


to a whooping 0.723s !


You read it right, we are faster at 70MHz than a A1200 603e/240MHz used on original benchmarks.

This new addition to a growing AMMX software collection demonstrates how much AMMX can benefit every part of our beloved OS. Any application using datatypes will instantly benefit from this, like our preferred OS3 browsers.

I sometime consider kolla as part of Apollo Team considering how much time he invests around it :-)
As OP of this thread, I thank him for bumping it up. It's like free marketing.
