MAXUAE vs E-UAE

[amigan24]

The thing that baffles me is that it says I need more CPU power in musicline editor and that I experience major slowdown in programs like octamed.

Demos run fine along with games.

Weird.

This is an intel version of E-UAE that I have compiled for MacOSX 10.4 it will run perfectly on your MB. Make sure you have the opengl option set.

Maybe you gave away the debug version with zerolinking?

Here is a german website offering E-UAE

No, I compiled it straight... it will work fine, and many people here have used it, without problems.

Yes, try this one too... It should be an identical build to mine (though his is Universal, mine is just intel)... it should work the same :-)

Cool! It works! Not really sure why yours didn't but I have to be missing something on my end. Bizarre.

However I continue to experience some hefty slowdown when I shouldn't. I usually only run the emu on it's own...no background programs, browsers, etc. Am I missing a setting where it devotes all resource to performance?

I have the OpenGL rendering checked, Emulation speed is at max, etc etc.

Even in games if all four notes play at once it slows down.  :-?

Yeah, I think I linked it against SDL... Sorry about that :oops: Try installing SDL and then trying mine again... it might work better than the other one.

I use mine on MacBook Pro to run OctaMED in the recording studio... so I need it running at full speed... as I said try and get SDL installed and try it then :-)

[amigan24]

hmm..Just threw sdl in the libraries and still experience the slowdown / need more cpu power prompts

This is a head scratcher for sure.  :lol:

Is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1.5 GB just not ehough to emulate an A500's four channel audio?!  :lol:

Maybe it has to be the config files.

You have installed SDL and tried my UAE build? Hmmm this is odd... Are you London uk based perhaps I can help in person?

It's more than enough. I had no problems running things at full speed with a 1.25Ghz PPC Mac.

It's most likely your config files. I know I had troubles with Hi-Torro and saving settings.

Look in ~/Library/Preferences, perhaps it's there. I don't recall.


Lastly (for every Mac user): if you click on an app and nothing happens (it's almost always missing dylibs or damaged executable), just run it from the Terminal and you'll find out why (or check the system logs). Ex, to run application XYZ from the Terminal, just do: /Apps/XYZ.app/Contents/MacOS/XYZ

Good luck!

Has this issue been resolved now?

[amigan24]

Hello again!

Apologies for the late response as the holidays have been crazy to say the least. Crazy but fun!

Um, yeah, I'm still having the problem to be honest. It keeps saying I don't have enough memory which makes no sense whatsoever as I'm using files that worked just fine on the A500 / A1200 and now I magically don't have enough memory. Might I be missing something in that regard?

@amigan24 and @bloodline:

As both of you run OSX, it might be a good idea if bloodline tries to assist amigan24 by using remote-desktop on the Apples. That way, bloodline can stay where he is and help amigan24 as if he stood beside him. Just a thought.
