ADOOM on A600 running 22-35 FPS

I also do not see the point in limiting fast RAM, just go for 2GB and be done with it.

[kolla]

There is a huge difference between opening a bunch of tabs and doing work in a bunch of tabs. But yes seriously, why limit Fast RAM, why not max out directly on the board and be done with it?

ChaosLord is right, the rest of you are ignorant clueless dumbasses, and you insist on proving that fact over and over and over again on these forums. It hurts reading all this ignorance, you guys have been here long enough to wise up already!!!

[kolla]

Well, what does it take to educate you sheeple? You link to the PDF at Freescale and gloat about it, but clearly is not capable of comprehending the content and its implications. And you go on personal attacks against the one who _is_ correct here.

You know, my A600 has a whopping 32MB of Fast RAM - how does that work you think?

[kolla]

Here's a clue - it is not the A600 that does any addressing!

[kolla]

What is wrong with you guys? This thread is about Vampire600, 68000 soft core in an FPGA - the 68000 on the A600 mother board is disabled, just like it is with my Apollo630 card, the softcore 68000 can easily be fully 32bit, it is not restricted by old legacy limitations.

[kolla]

No Commodore was not wrong, noone here is wrong except you guys who wave around arguments that mind boggingly speak against you, to "win" a discussion on a topic you clearly understand very little of. It is mind dumbing to witness.

Well, lack of RAM is one of the major reasons why we lack a modern featured web browser for AmigaOS3 - modern browsers need more RAM, web pages today are resource hungry, number of open tabs alone is meaningless, try doing some work in them too! Working with gfx requires RAM too - I have done my share of animation on Amiga and know very well how limiting 128MB or even 256MB of RAM can be, and ditto if you do audio work, paging to disk is very annoying and also requires MMU features in the softcore to work - much easier to just have more *real* RAM.

[kolla]

The lack of features in the OS and limitations in the hardware scare many developers away.

[kolla]

Hey, you can glue an AMD64 chip onto the 68000 and call it a 64bit upgrade!! Just as usefull!! Anything AmigaOS is stuck in 32bit forever, and for some even that is too much.

[kolla]

Well, I think it is pretty dumb to be loud and gloating about issues one have limited knowledge about, and when it is repeated and repeated, with a rudiculing and patrionizing tone too, yeah - dumbass is a pretty mild term I think.

For me, 64MB in an A1200 is a much unwanted downgrade, my aging A1200 already has 192MB and for the work the Amiga is actually usable for - simple 2D animation - 192MB is limiting. In my A4000 I can fill up the zorro bus with 1GB of RAM, but then I have no space for other cards. Only viable option for legacy software is really emulation.

In my view, to put 2GB on the card is well worth it. I would make a card that is essencially an FPGA computer, with a lot of RAM, some flash and I/O, and use that as base for all Amiga computers with different connection board for the various models.

64bit memory addressing for m68k has no use unless you have more RAM anyways.

Dude, quit trolling.  You and ChaosLord have clearly been proven wrong.  You have not backed up one single claim with any sort of valid statistic.  Take your public shaming like a man, and kindly STFU and get off this thread, so it can return to the more civilized discussion it was becoming last night.  :whack:

I am not trolling. Everything you have posted clearly says all the way that m68k is a 32bit architecture to run 32bit instructions, and for anything AmigaOS compatible - 32bit addressing - I cannot believe we must have this old stupid argument after all these years!!!

But - whatever - if it makes you happy to think 68000 is not 32bit enough for you, then keep believing, just stop the evangelizing of misinformation!

I have a Minimig, a so called A500 clone, with a 68SEC000 CPU - is it 32bit enough?

[kolla]

Is an A500 with a 68010 no longer an A500?
