Is LinuxUAE on aPPC "Accelerated"???
« on: November 30, 2002, 01:08:51 AM »
Team

I like many others here will be getting our AmigaOne computers soon.

Since OS4 is not released we will be forced to use LinuxUAE.

Since the AmigaOne is a "real" PPC system I was jsut wondering.

Does the UAE only give the "standard" emulated chip support or will it allow PPC support as well (eg appearing to the OS as  a PPC accelerated Amiga???)

It would be a real pitty if the UAE restricted the OS to "classic" chips support only .

Regards

Help coders please!!!!

Is it too late to beg you coders out there to see about updating the LinuxUAE to include the stuff we take fro granted on the "windows version" eg JIT???

I can live without the PPC being used as an accelorator, however not having a JIT will make it almost too slow to be usable :-(

It's not the "windows" version that has JIT, it's the x86 version. There is JIT for UAE-linux --- but only on x86. If there was a Windows for PPC, WinUAE/PPC wouldn't have JIT.


How ironic, that Amigas have been using PPC accelerators for ages and it is the worst supported for Amiga emulation...

Does anyone have first hand experience of UAE on a PPC platform. Is it as slow as you would expect (without JIT) or does it do some other "code majic" that results in it being usable???.

There MUST be a 68xx JIT that could be incorperated into UAE... (does the MacUAE have a JIT???)
