Yeah 250Mhz isn't really enough to run UAE... I really want a nice 68k->ARM JIT too :-)

Hi,

The article states that the unit has dual ARM9 cores - wouldn't this help (if a version of UAE was re-written to take advantage of it)?

I'd say probably not a great deal... just because the timing is so critical in UAE...

Anyway, 400Mhz XScale is more than able to run UAE realy well, it just needs a 68k->ARM JIT :-)

I tried UAE on my Ipaq 5550 pocket pc it is very slow even with 400mhz ! but as far as i know it is just a non optimized port.


Yeah PocketUAE is a very early port, but if you tweek it a bit it will run at A500 speed without frame skip... though the sound is eratic.
