MPlayer ok a 68K? it crawls on MOS for PuP on CSPPC at 200 Mhz! no way IMHO.

It flies on the Gamecube Linux port.  Gamecube's Gekko(G3 GX) PPC runs @ 487.5 MHz with a 162.5 MHz bus.

The playback quality is the best I've seen on any console so far and it beats XBOX Media Center (XBMC) and the limited PS2 Media Players hands down, but sadly you're only limited to 1.4 gigs of information per disc so it's not really a pratical solution unless you're only playing smaller files.

Hopefully the ongoing PPC AROS-GC port will get this application shortly after the OS port is complete.

My apologies for anyone who believe this is off topic.

I see you chose not to accept my advanced apology...

spamming this thread with your Nintendo-Next-Gen-Amiga nonsense...

Interesting statement.  I have been saying the same thing on my thread but that never stopped anyone from doing it.

That "gecko" is over 143% faster just in clockrate, and it has L2 cache. What did you expect, it to be slower?

It's not an expectation.  More like - I wonder when people are going to realize that the 68k Amiga market should have died atleast 5 years ago.

*and* it doesn't change the fact that indeed mplayer is useless on a real 680x0 CPU. That is what Framiga was trying to say, even though he failed to spot the Amithlon bit.

Exactly.  But emulation is just a thorn in the side of progress.
