MAXUAE vs E-UAE

[amigan24]

So my a500 just took a dive (see "wanted to buy") and I thought I'd give a crack at emulating on a Macbook in the meantime.

*sigh*

Maxuae runs perfect. No slowdown, all of my disks run BUT there's no audio!! Has anyone else encountered the same issue?

E-UAE ran semi decently but has gotten worse after several tries! Now it......is....ssssllllooooo....wwwwwww....and completely unusable..

I've tried many different combinations and it all just kind of gives me some piss-poor performance. Am I SOL?



 :pissed:

[amigan24]

while it helped with some things I'm now getting a "need more cpu power" message via musicline...

I'm using a Macbook for %$^@*'s sake! How much more do I need to emulate a computer older than some of my relatives? :lol:

[amigan24]

ok I give up. This isn't worth the headache.  :-?

Is it a MBP?  Sure you aren't running the PPC binary?

I'm using E-UAE on my MBP, and it runs smoothly.  Try downloading the source and compiling it yourself.

I looked at "get info" and it said it was a power pc app..wtf? Should this be? Mind you I usually don't emulate systems so you might need to explain this to me like a child. I specifically used the OSX binary. Also it's just a MB no MBP here!

No PC on this end..

[amigan24]

Not working?

Doesn't open with / without Hi-Toro..


 :boohoo:

First I really need to express my gratitude for your assistance. Thank you very, very much!

Second..when I double click the icon nothing happens. Simple as that!  :lol:

[amigan24]

yeah...same on this end but no requester.

strrrrange!  :-?

The thing that baffles me is that it says I need more CPU power in musicline editor and that I experience major slowdown in programs like octamed.

Demos run fine along with games.

Weird.

[amigan24]

Cool! It works! Not really sure why yours didn't but I have to be missing something on my end. Bizarre.

However I continue to experience some hefty slowdown when I shouldn't. I usually only run the emu on it's own...no background programs, browsers, etc. Am I missing a setting where it devotes all resource to performance?

I have the OpenGL rendering checked, Emulation speed is at max, etc etc.

Even in games if all four notes play at once it slows down.  :-?

[amigan24]

hmm..Just threw sdl in the libraries and still experience the slowdown / need more cpu power prompts

This is a head scratcher for sure.  :lol:

Is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1.5 GB just not ehough to emulate an A500's four channel audio?!  :lol:

Maybe it has to be the config files.

Hello again!

Apologies for the late response as the holidays have been crazy to say the least. Crazy but fun!

Um, yeah, I'm still having the problem to be honest. It keeps saying I don't have enough memory which makes no sense whatsoever as I'm using files that worked just fine on the A500 / A1200 and now I magically don't have enough memory. Might I be missing something in that regard?
