E-UAE 0.8.29 with PPC JIT Public Beta 04 released (MorphOS)

[takemehomegrandma]

Fab has now uploaded E-UAE 0.8.29 with PPC JIT Public Beta 04 for MorphOS. The project is a fork of the E-UAE Amiga emulation project, where the goal is to implement Just-In-Time compiling for PowerPC processors.

Some of the differences between the original v0.8.29 and this version is that the x86 JIT has been removed completely, the PowerPC JIT is implemented from scratch (with some support functions reused from the x86 implementation), CyberGraphX overlay screen support (MorphOS only at the moment), G5 support (PowerPC 970/FX/GX/MP), added and changed configuration options, various fixes collected from other different forked releases of the original E-UAE, etc. For details, read both of the enclosed readme files.

i sure wish that morphos had a built in UAE implementation like Os4 does with "Run in Uae"

But it does, and it has been there for very long, before OS4 got a similar feature. Like Fab answered you over at MorphZone:

"It already exists with the supplied scripts/mimetypes for many years. You can either start adf games with a simple double click or run a given 68k binary inside a UAE instance (reusing already running UAE instance)."

And as klesterjr said:

"RuninUAE is not part of OS4 -- it's a third party contribution (same as Fab's scripts)."

So it's there alright, and has been for long!

“RuninUAE is not part of OS4“

You might say it is, yes its contribution, but you are asked if like to installed it or not during OS4.1 installation process.

If it's a contribution, then it's not part of the OS. The implication of this goes far beyond semantics.

Overlay is mostly for playing back video, nice to have but not so useful when you think about it.
Most be playing videos 100 x times faster on MorphOS, maybe they do it make some benchmarks, I don't get way else.

"Sour grapes"... :lol:

Overlay is isn't a video playback function per se (although it is often used in that context), overlay is great for "automatic" scaling (in the GPU) without using the CPU for it (thus freeing up CPU resources for more important stuff). Like showing a 320 x 200 Amiga screen on a modern high-res monitor in full screen.
