Benchmarking WinUAE
« on: October 24, 2002, 12:16:50 AM »
I've just upgraded to an Athlon XP 1800+ (it's quite fast).
In testing my emulation to see how fast it is, I've discovered sysinfo is broken when trying to display too high a MHz rating for a chip. AIAB seems to be broken as well on the emulation, despite people posting modules for it. Any idea where I can get a benchmark prog that works so I can feel smug?
(I haven't bought an AmigaONE yet as waiting for a large cash injection - though I'm not sure entirely why I'm apologising for WinUAE)
Incidentally, benchmarking a 500MHz celeron gave me a 264Mhz 020 - quite an efficient emulation - even if the test is biased.

I _know_ that it won't yeild a real-life score - I did say I wanted to do it for smug value.
It does yeild information in one way - comparing the emulation with _itself_! I use sysinfo to test what effects any changes I make to the settings have on the emulation.
