How is your port of DosBox compare with PCTask?


Slower ;)

DOSBox is a better choice for gaming, it would have been cool if it was fast enough on real hardware.

I'd say because the program itself is over 20MB you'd need to configure UAE to at least 64MB

It will be interesting to see how it could run on the FPGA Arcade with the 68060 daughterboard.  RAM certainly won't be an issue then.

I did actually 'finish' this port for AGA years ago ;)

Unfortunately it's way too slow to be of any much use on a real Amiga.

If I ever get the energy I may try and apply some more speed-up hacks and perhaps use my updated RTG SDL to do an RTG version with window mode support.

Don't have much time for 68k coding these days unfortunately :(

too bad! the world needs your code! ;)

can you define 'way too slow', though? would be nice to try it out.

Thanks, my boss doesn't think so!

;)

About this slow!

Sorry, thought you were talking about Ultima Underworld, thought I missed something :) Ofcourse I knew about Dosbox, but I can run it on RTG myself :) And, I wouldnt call this slow. Its fun for testing things at least!

haha, you have too many projects! however, I knew it was you, I just wanted to know if you ever finished this and where I can obtain more information? its not in your sig, i checked that first :)

Nope, I never finished it (currently sitting on my A1200's hard drive).

I'm not doing much Amiga coding these days.

My final release is a little bit quicker and might be just enough to play some old PC games if you have enough MIPS (overclocked 060 only).

Obviously if FPGA accelerator cards get fast enough then this port will be awesome for Miggy AGA users :)

I recently released an RTG version of my old DosBox 68K port (only took me a few years  ;D)

It's still damn slow on real classic hardware but might be handy for running DOS utils or maybe an old EGA adventure game.

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=96151

If you do try it on real hardware or FPGA/WinUAE/Amithlon then make sure you set the correct core and cycles in the config file.

For real hardware you should use the 'simple' core and cycles set to 1,000 or even less (fast 060, don't even bother with an 040).   If you have a fast FPGA then you could try the 'simple' core with say 1,000-3,000 cycles and on WinUAE/AROS/Amithlon then it's better to use the more stable 'normal' core and a setting for say 10,000 cycle (depending on how old the game is).

Nice! Thanks for the update! Will be fun to give this a try soon :)

No idea how many cycles this was using but DOSBox RTG is working pretty well on Vampire.  An old VGA adventure game or dungeon crawler would probably be playable.

I'd call that a success considering how friggin demanding DOSBox is to run (runs slowly on a Pentium 166 apparently).
