On the subject of Akiko Chunky-to-Planar, Toni Wilen released a new beta of WinUAE today which incorporated an optimised Akiko C2P algorithm I submitted in C code for WinUAE/PUAE.
Although it tested twice as fast as the old WinUAE algorithm in isolation, it's unclear whether due to CPU caching this will actually be any faster in practical use than the old algorithm (it makes for a very tiny difference anyway in overall CD32 emulation), but Toni's source code did say the original algorithm was, quote, a "piece of crap", and he decided to switch to my version instead, so I guess this is a small improvement.
At least it works when I tried it with CD32 Wing Commander and Microcosm.
