Title: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: ptek on December 23, 2006, 10:41:18 PM
Hi all,

A few days ago I was surprised with the announcement of the EFIKA-5K2 mini board. As far I understood, it can run morphos.

Today I visited the Aminet and I just read that a version of UAE (e-uae0.8.29-WIP3) was uploaded.

The EFIKA board seemed a cool thing just to run an Amiga like OS (morphOS) and why not a bit of Debian Linux (as long you don't mind push the 128MB RAM too much) but I always thought that I wouldn't be able to play most Amiga HW banging games.

But with UAE, well, it could be a nice thing. I could even use a TV-out gfx card on the board and play on TV !

Does anyone with morphos (on Pegasus or EFIKA) may tell me if this UAE is a good port ? You know, decent speed on most games an so on.

I am using e-uae here(believe 0,8.28) and speed is ok.
I am playing Banshee apydia turrican with whdload in the uae atmosphere.
But am using a pegasos2 overclocked to 1.27 Ghz.
Don't know if efika can handle it?
On this machine euae feels like a 1200 woth a 030 30MHz or something.

I doubt UAE would be fast enough on EFIKA.

Post by: SamuraiCrow on December 24, 2006, 02:18:24 AM
Only the Intel versions of EUAE support JIT.  It would be a lot faster on an equivalent Linux PC than on EFIKA.

Post by: Acill on December 24, 2006, 04:23:33 AM
I use E-UAE PPC quite a bit on my Pegasos. It runs well, and should run nice on the efika once MorphOS gets released for it. For now if you get an efika all you can run is Linuc, MOS isnt released just yet for it.
Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: pVC on December 24, 2006, 12:05:52 PM
Well.. E-UAE on PegasosI isn't that fast.. just A500 speed I guess. For example SuperFrog runs ok, but sound clicks sometimes. So it's barely there... Efika is bit slower from CPU side, but has faster mem.. so hard to say how well it will run UAE :)
Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: ptek on December 24, 2006, 05:12:13 PM
Yes, it seems the efika will be not the right platform to run it a decent speed... Considering by the replies here that a Pegasos2 1GHz does it at the limit and efika has a lower speed CPU (400MHZ) and uses the same RAM (266MHz DDR) I'm not expecting much :(

JIT would be great.

Maybe running UAE on low-res modes and 22Khz sound would be possible. Is it possible to run UAE on Pegasos in full screen (not windowed)?

BTW is MOS free for those who buy Pegasos and efika (when available for the latter) ?
Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: djbase on December 24, 2006, 06:08:44 PM
Yes, MorphOS comes with every Pegasos and will do also with EFIKA later I think.

UAE will be GREAT on Efika  wether its Linux or MorphOS

The GP2X hendehld has UAE with only 64MB ram 200mhz cpu and sd card. has small Linux OS..!GP2X (http://www.gp2x.co.uk/)

It runs great!

There is archive here (http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,1215)

there are videos like Stunt Car Racer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDQYHSjHAdM&mode=related&search=)

and Turrican II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGLSzqMuTeI&mode=related&search=) on YouTube that show off the gp2x UAE!

the efika has 2 usb ports for gamepads etc network for downloading roms sound  and 2.5" disk...also could have tv out for games if it could be enabled.

400mhz ppc is more than enough power to run any old amiga game

If MorphOS is real light then should be perfect...

Accordingly with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X , the GP2X have dual-core CPU at 200Mhz. Hmmm does the programs for it benefit of the dual core processing ?

The LCD display is 320x240. I don't know if the UAE emulator for it run at this resolution. If so, there should not be a problem for running no efika.

@Paradox

You are wrong. EFIKA is not powerful enough for smooth UAE emulation. Some light games might run fast enough, but anything more demanding will not.

It is not very smart to bring up false hopes about this. EFIKA is rather neat, but it is not a generic purpose desktop computer. I prefer to be honest about such things.

so you telling me that a 400Mhz PowerPC CPU with 128MB ram cant play game for a 14MHz 020 with 2MB Ram?

you goto be kidding me :lol:

even if it takes alot of CPU power to emulate OCS AGA and Paula how can it run nice on this little GP2X?


As im saying all you need is small morphos or linux base system with minimal drivers for sound network cpu and gfx card and very basic gui with email photo viewer

Im almost positive that a 400Mhz PowerPC cpu and radeon 128 mb and 128mb ram can run old amiga games perfectly

Plus the videos above are from a very old version 0.6.2 of UAE4All similar to the xbox one.

The new one is version 0.6.4

Bet the new one is miles better!



Its goto be possible:roll:

Ok lets make it a challenge to get a good old amiga game working of efika perfectly.

1st one to do it Ill give them £20

Now theres a little incentive I wanna play old amiga games on my Efika dont you?

Regards

Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: djbase on December 25, 2006, 02:37:47 AM
For £20 you can get a good Amiga on ebay for that. Much cheaper than an EFIKA and it works definitely.

Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: Paradox on December 25, 2006, 02:43:14 AM
Yes but you cant run ppc linux & MorphOS aswell on old amiga 68k

Plus I already have 1200 to play on

With EFIKA you could do much more like play all types of consoles pcengine gba snes sega which you cant do on a stock a1200

The point of the conversation was to see if UAE would run an old amiga game or OS3.1 3.5 or 3.9 on Efika with Linux or MOS at an acceptable level.

We are telling you that it maybe might not have the power to emulate smoothly an Amiga system (7Mhz or 14Mhz CPU, custom graphics chipset, custom audio system, and many hardware devices that makes the Amiga a complex piece of art). As Piru said, UAE does what is quite a complex task and believe me, years ago, an Amiga emulator on PC was thought as impossible.
Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: Paradox on December 25, 2006, 01:53:28 PM
Its possible...

The Amiga 500 1200 isnt complex art..... what a load of rubbish.

I Pentium 166MMX can run an amiga game at acceptable levels!

Your having a laugh man!


THE EFIKA WILL HAVE UAE AND WILL PLAY OLD AMIGA GAMES PERFECTLY.....

IF GP2X CAN DO IT... EFIKA CAN!

Should be able also to play pc engine snes gba sego nintendo etc and even old macos!

How about you actually try running UAE on EFIKA before making these rather ignorant statements?

Im not getting my own till MorphOS is released for it.

I think your not getting the point.

Maybe now if you run E-UAE over a big bloated linux with swap files and allsorts. it will not run right..


But with MorphOS or a very light minimal Linux it should be OK.

Piru stop being stupid.

No it does not! It does not even run at a500 speed with sound emulation turned on. And mhz is not everything anyways... my old k6-2 450mhz was for example ALOT slower than even a pII 300mhz.

UAE needs pure cpu perfomance and it does not matter much wether you run windows, linux or morphos providing that you urn the same version of uae on all platforms.

UAE is ok on GP2X 200mhz 64mb flash so should be ok on EFIKA with 400mhz ppc (which is supposed to be better) with 128 mb ddr ram (which is quicker aswell)

the xbox ones good too that only got celeron 700 etc and 64mb I think.

Im not stupid just optomistic that its should be possible to play all old amiga games on efika perfectly.

I meen very basic type menu OS where you just selct program to run etc. similar to PSP or GP2X!

with:
Email
Internet
Storage
Programs


If im being stupid im sorry but ive made calculations as follows:

I run winuae without JIT on 1.6ghz with 64 ram selected and runs 3.1 install get sysinfo and my computer is 100x faster than an a4000/040. (red and goes of scale with white plus sign)

so wouldnt the Efika run 25x faster atleast?

Maybe Im not as clever as I would like to be at coding etc but this should be possible..

If I could I would prove you wrong

Newsflash: syncthetic benchmark-tools lie under emulation. The actual performance is nowhere near 100x. SysInfo is especially bad here, it is an outdated application, anyway. Use some reallife benchmarks instead.

Once upon a time I used to run UAE on a PII@350MHz: it could run most A500 games just fine, if a bit jerky on the sound side.

- Edit -

Not meaning that it would run fast enough on the Efika, though, just saying that a "slow" CPU can still produce good results with UAE.

@falemagn

Slow CPUs can produce good results on x86, mostly because of the JIT and L2 caches.

UAE with JIT patch was okayish on cel 400. Without JIT it was quite bad (lack of cache didn't help).

5200B has no L2 cache at all, only 16KB inst & data caches.

@Paradox

A Pegasos1 with G3/600Mhz has to skip frames to emulate an A500 at full speed. Maybe Efika memory controller helps a little, but don't expect to be able to emulate AGA games smoothly unless Bernd Meyer releases his m68k JIT emulator for PPC. Now that OS4 final is out maybe he gives the sources to Richard Drummond so he can integrate it into E-UAE.

Piru is right: You won't be able to run smoothly games/apps designed for anything faster than an A500 and you may have difficulties running A500 games that require cycle-perfect syncronization.

On the other hand MorphOS is enough light to run apps like Mail/Web browser/etc smoothly on a 400Mhz 603e without L2 cache.

BTW... there's nothing special in running UAE... any off the shelf pc can do it. A500 games ran smoothly on a P233MMX with "Fellow" (an old A500 emu). Efika will probably run UAE slower than a 400Mhz Celeron.

If Bernd Meyer released his PPC JIT and Richard Drummond integrated it on his E-UAE it would be a revolution for Amiga emulation on PPC. I guess that an Efika could easily emulate AGA games that don't require perfect sync if E-UAE used Bernd Meyer's JIT for PPC.
Title: Re: UAE for MorphOS
Post by: AmiGR on December 26, 2006, 03:04:00 AM
@Paradox

1) A Pegasos1 with a G3 is not fast enough for UAE with sound and no frameskipping, how the hell would the Efika be fast enough?

2) The GP2X port relies on overclocking the GP2X CPU. It also *is* choppy with sound, and *does* have frameskipping.

3) Stop posting x86 examples, UAE has a JiT on x86 CPUs and x86s have L2 cache, unlike the PPC5200.

4) I suggest you stop being an idiot, Piru is one of the core MorphOS developers, he, of all people, should know what the Efika is or is not far better than you.

5) Stop all this incredibly ignorant crap about 166MHz PCs being able to run A1200 games, they cannot do any such thing on UAE, *hardware* emulation of a system as complex as the Amiga is incredibly demanding in raw CPU horsepower (not for any recent machine but the Efika does not have a powerful CPU) and this is not debatable, as anyone who has followed UAE's development and has ever actually used it knows. Fellow was faster on slower PCs but Fellow is dead.

6) You have proven that you are not technically minded, so stop arguing against people who know better than you.

By default this UAE4ALL src uses FAME x86 assembly optimized m68k emulation kernel. If you disable it (powerpc does not execute x86 code), it uses regular UAE emulation.

Thus, on powerpc this is just regular UAE.

There is a portable C version of fame (famec), but UAE4ALL refused to work with it (the emulation is just stuck, nothing happens).

You somehow try to feed this as "proof" of something. Well surprise surprise, this doesn't prove anything. You would know this if you had actually tried it.

You can not. Such virus is not possible, at least not on Amiga hardware.

There is no media to store the virus to. The only memory that can hold information over power loss are:

a) Kickstart ROM, read only memory (cannot be written to)
b) Battery backed realtime clock, about 16 bytes of volatile memory (in which only certain bitpatterns are valid, and which updates constantly as clock is ticking).

Thus, it is not possible to have code embeded to system that will "stay" over power lossage.

You are wrong.

The A1200s you saw must have had hardware faults causing those symptoms (like discoloured screens). If you actually believe a virus could rewrite a READ ONLY chip to remain after poweroff then you're an idiot.

Most games aren't as dependent on CPU as they are on custom chips, so most of the time JIT wouldn't be of no use, still UAE gives a pleasant experience if you turn the sound off... even (namely) on less powerful machines

you are completely insane.

I have had one of these virus's myself.

Absolute complete idiots..just becuse they are proven wrong time and time again you have to be stupid and bring up old {bleep} to try and back you up

...and the name of the impossible virus is? :-)

Since you're so convinced this virus exists and have successfully "purged" it from A1200s effectively "fixing" the problem, surely you can name the virus? VirusZ or other virus killer cannot fix anything they don't know about. So, what is the name of the virus?

NO YOU CANNOT. SUCH VIRUS DOES NOT EXIST.

You haven't proven me wrong.

Repeating these things over and over don't make them any more true. There is no such thing as "amiga hardware virus". That is a fact. It's trivial to prove aswell: There is no way to store the virus code anywhere in the amiga hardware.

@pixie

That depends on which kind og game/demo you try to run. If you need to run a 060 demo like Starstruck, Lapsuus etc you can be  sure a JIT will help. It won't make miracles with slow hardware not capable of emulating at full speed a 020 AGA machine. But once you have the power capable of emulating an A1200 without skipping frames a JIT will help a lot to run cpu hungry demos like Ocean Machine.

Unfortunately I doubt an Efika can emulate an A1200 without skipping frames... It will have hard time trying to emulate an A500 at full speed!

Agreed.

UAE in 320x240 without sound could not run Sanity Arte even remotely acceptable speed. Frameskip of 5 made it look closer to A500 speed, but frankly frameskip of any kind just sucks. And this was without audio...

EFIKA is surprisingly snappy for it's spec, but it for sure isn't very suitable for UAE.

@Paradox

First of all, you have no clue what you are talking about. The Amiga is *not* a simple system to emulate, period. I suggest you read the last paragraph on UAE on this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_emulation) page.

Second of all, if you have no hard disk or floppy drive in your system, you have the following storage left in your system (no matter whether you can actually store code there or not).
1) Chip RAM. It's DRAM, meaning that as soon as you power-off, refresh of the capacitors stops and the leakage erases everything on it.
2) Registers: They also get wiped on power-off, no matter the implementation.
3) Non volatile memory if you have an RTC. You definitely cannot store code there, it's a few bytes and gets incremented all the time.
4) ROM. No matter what, you cannot store *anything* there after manufacturing. The ROMs are literally hardwired, either they are fabricated with the mask defining the data written in them or they have fuses blown for 0s, etc, there are various methods. EEPROMs can be electrically reprogrammed, but the Kickstarts are not EEPROMs and there also is no reprogramming circuitry built into the Amiga hardware.

I've got the Amiga A1200 schematics right here, you can download them yourself off the web if you like. If you can find a way to permanantly store code on this design, you will be able to get a hell of a lot of money off companies. :-)

Virus can't break the hardware, except by mechanical wear. It is possible to damage the floppy drive via software, for example (step the r/w-head like mad). It is not possible to break the hardware in the way you describe (missing colour components).

Surviving warm reset is trivial. You either use CoolCapture/ColdCapture or KickTagPtr/KickMemPtr vectors in execbase.

There is absolutely NO way you can survice power off on std A1200.

powering on but with now video :roll:  :lol:

I have had the virus myself what is the point in lying

believe it or not but its true

the program screws your video up and is iriversable ...maybe you can fix it but didnt know how

its a program that brakes the hardware or modifies it or blows a restistor or something becuase it looks wierd when it happens on screen but you only see it once

its like a black screen the a white and yellow line goes down and then nothing..turn on turn off dont makes no difference

i had used this 1200 for ages and it all happened when i purchased a 3.1 install disk and the virus was attatched to the english setup in install folder......  very funny


i dont care if you believe me or not anymore.. ive told you the virus broke an a1200. you may have bee able to fix it with soldieribng or virus killer tho

The only thing that can be broken via software is mechanical devices, such as the floppy drive. Even that requires considerable time (stressing the r/w head by moving it up/down track very fast).

You can't destroy amiga via software.

And fellow only exist for dos/windows afaik. The gp2x cannot do it either.

I dont know what your talking about here. But there is a Amiga virus named as Ebola. Once its installed, its pretty hard to get ridd off.

I never had Saddam or CCCP etc. Had Byte Bandit and Lamer Exterminator sometimes, but there is a virus called Ebola which is mystic. I dont know what it does, but it messes up with the startup-sequence and uses up lots of mem.

I formated my HD on my A1200 many times to get ridd of it. Virus checked all of my disks etc.

When Ebola was attacking, ViruZ or VirusChecker found it and killed it. After some time, it appeared again.

I found the virus on my Dpaint 5 disks mostly. Ebola dosent harm other than AmigaOS feels very slow and different.

Maybe your talking about Ebola?

Heh! I'm amazed at the number of errors in the web site. I deliberately avoid any sites full of mistakes - if the vendor can't even be bothered to check the web site properly, it speaks volumes about how the rest of the business is conducted...

Here's a list of things for you to correct, Mr. Paradox...
* The header graphic is ugly due to it having been scaled by the browser from 205px (actual image) to 210px (in the HTML)
* References (to links, graphics, etc) are absolute instead of being relative
* 1st paragraph of text, "CPU's" should be "CPUs"
* 2nd paragraph, "usb" should be "USB", "LED's" should be "LEDs", "Extra Large Side" doesn't need to be capitalised, "componants" should be "components", "to large" should be "two large"
* (After all the copied paragraphs from the manufacturers), "DISCRIPTION" should be "DESCRIPTION"
* Next paragraph heading, "WARRANRY" should be "WARRANTY"
* Same paragraph, "manufacturers warranty" should be "manufacturers' warranty", "you are safe hands" should be "you are in safe hands"
* "there is now FREE SHIPPING to UK Mainland in time for Christmas!" is now out of date

This, plus what you've been saying in this and other threads really isn't doing you any favours...
