@olegil

But UAE-JIT does have custom chipset emulation.

However, to answer your question regarding what use there would be for another JIT emulation, that depends on how good Trance and Petunia turn out to be in practice, doesn't it? Bernie's JIT work has a proven pedigree, which is more than can be said for the other two at this moment in time.

Bernie always said he would have a bash at producing a PPC version of his JIT emulation if someone provided him with a PPC system to work on. It seems that once again he has delivered on his promises.

Have You read the posts of Bernd Mayer?

I hadn't. Thanks for the pointer.

But of course it will still be GPL, so you could intigrate the AGA emulation


Precisely. Bernie didn't work on the WinUAE integration directly either, but that also uses his JIT compiler.

Although I have no use for any PPC software - as I have no room in my budget for any PPC systems - I do agree with Bernie when he says he doing this "for fun". I can't help thinking that this community would be far better off with more people doing stuff "for fun" rather than "for the community".

(and yes, I do expect to be flamed for saying that...)
