Title: Amiga performance on Raspberry PI 2
Post by: brownb2 on July 19, 2015, 12:02:47 PM: Does any one know what sort of performance an Amiga emulator on a PI 2 puts out, Sysinfo and AIBB tests, jit and non jit?
I'm specifically interested in how well it performs vs a real 030 (or 040?)

There is a difference between a real computer and the Raspberry PI.
It is not just a chip that makes a computer but the bus and the architecture of the whole machine.
There are too many benchmarks that you would have to write and run.

The emulator serves its purpose : you cannot tell from the original.
It`s set to 50Hz, vsynced no frame skipping and no sound glitches. Ultra smooth scrolling and quick joystick response time, so it can replace the original HW anytime.

Post by: brownb2 on July 26, 2015, 10:21:24 AM: I was hoping to use the PI 2 in a custom keyboard case with a custom straight to uae minimalist linux build if it had decent performance. I had ideas to 3D print something like a mini a4000 case or even just squash it into a rebadged cherry keyboard. Guess I'll wait until the Raspberry PI 4 at £25 comes out!
