Title: OSX and UAE, how does it compare to WinUAE aside of GUI?
Post by: AmiXDel on January 15, 2005, 08:58:15 AM
I'm getting a Mac mini soon, and would like to run UAE on it (since OS4 WILL NOT). The thing is that I'm used to running WinUAE, and need to know if UAE in OSX even compares in performance, or is it still out of date and hardly ever kept up?

No JIT!
Otherwise check the E-UAE homepage.

No JIT?!?? What a waste of time. Screw that.


Can you compile and run the Linux version then, or does it not have JIT either?

I take it there is no passion for Amgia emulation outside of Winblows...

...possibly the worst enviroment to emulate a true multi-tasking OS in the 1st place?

look here:

He is working on it but for now JIT is x86 only.

The OS X version is behind the x86 version from what I have heard, due to lack of developers or something.

I'm glad to see someone realizes that Winblows is not the best enviroment to be running our beloved under. :) Too bad the rest of the programming capable in the community does not.

I guess it's reasons like this that BeOS and SkyOS has Firefox, and we still do not. Heck BeOS just got Java 2D support infact and BeOS is a dead OS!

Seems to be catching up now as E-UAE is under active development, the Mac mini may speed that up further.

The developer says the code doesn't allow the compiler to produce great binaries and he's trying to fix this.
