Amiga Performance Scale

[Franko]

Bit off topic but related in a way...

SysSpeed unlike SysInfo will let you check all the Amiga processors including some basic PPC checks, can't say that any of these utils are very accurate but they do allow you to get an idea of a particular Amiga's performance...

Don't quite think it's what you're looking for but in this THREAD (on Page 5) a while back I posted various SysSpeed test results for an A1200 with 060 board, might help if you find similar results elsewhere on the site here for other set ups to compare them to...

I'd love to see one of the betatesters of the NatAmi post some SysSpeed results in order to compare them to my 060 results...

Back on topic...

If the NatAmi when released lives up to it's claims then this would really put it at the top of any Amiga performance chart I'd reckon (even better than my Blizzard 060) not sure about FPGA-Arcade as I've never really followed that thread...

Franko that depends. I think what this thread is trying to say is that it wants graphs and not numbers to look at. You being a die hard Amigan should know this. On Amiga.org if it ain't a picture we ain't looking at it    :p

I would have drawn a graph but me big red crayon broke and that only left me the blue one, so all the results would have got mixed up, that and and I'm crap at drawing...

PS: I ain't an Amigan today, today I'm a SNESIAN cos I'm playing some old SNES RPG games... SNES RULEZ... AMIGA SUX... :p

Natami is too fast for SysInfo.  One of the test numbers wrapped around to zero.  The speed was too high to fit into the variable.

Natami Team can now either
A: Make the Natami go slower so as not to overwhelm poor widdle SysInfo
or
B: Throw SysInfo in the trash

What do you think they should do?

Definitely B ...

SysInfo was fine back in the day but even then it couldn't handle an 060...

Much better using SysSpeed for testing Amiga's these days, while not perfect it's better than nothing...

I did once disassemble SysInfo into it's source code (as I planned to fix it for 060's) but the code was so messy it wasn't worth the bother...

[Franko]

Being a low level coder I never learned how to disassemble an exe into source code that can reassembled.  I gather it involves using "ReSource".

If it is ez 4 u 2 create src code from the exe you could consider doing that and emailing it to me because we have a codeslave in our team who has volunteered to fix it (or at least fix some parts of it).

If I was healthy I would just write my own sysinfoproggy with a better GUI and better tests but oh well...

For big disassembling jobs ReSource is a brilliant tool to have but sometime for smaller progs I just use a machine language monitor to disassemble stuff...

I might still have the source code kicking around if not I could disassemble it again when I have the time and send it to you...
