Title: AHI-PPC pre3 reliability.
Post by: tomekm on January 10, 2005, 09:29:48 AM
Elo,

when I bought my PPC, I prmarily thought that I will use AHI on PPC and get dramatic increase in performance of DigiBoosterPro, but after that, I found there`s no AHI for WarpOS/PPC... Few days ago I found that there`s a beta version of AHI available to download from M.Blom`s webpages. I leeched it and, I was dissapointed from .elf... but anyway I thought: let`s try with ppcemu, well, it worked, it even works under WarpOS, as it informs about that... I thought: "could be worse...", and it was: DigiBoosterPro didn`t work as it should. I used version 2.20 as I formatted my HDD a month ago and was too lazy to install 2.21... I removed ahippc and backed up to 68k version... Yesterday I at least found 2.21 diskette and installed it. Whe I read the docs, I found that it`s been prepared to work with AHI-PPC, so I said: "Let`s try again!" And I did that... So here are results: on my 603e/225MHz it can easily get 32 channels in 44100Hz/HiFi 14bit stereo++ without slowdown... And it doesn`t seem to like crashing... What you say about that?

Sounds great, shame I still don't have a PPC...

Uhm, I wonder why people call it WarpOS when it is not an operating system. Warp Open Source?

Concerning AHIPPC stability I recall there was a bug... It crashed at some point. But that was few years ago....

I wrote WarpOS bacause it runs under powerpc.library. I didn`t do that if it was the only PPC CPU operating environment.
