Which 68060.library?

[nicholas]

im not sure if peter.k icon lib wasnt resourced as well, only that the complete code has been replaced. now i dont know what the situation legally is. however as the work was not based on any sources, only on reverse engineering of binary and since the current library does not contain copyrighted code its okay i guess.

its possible to use this library anyway and it gives nice speedup.

what concerns math libs i have never been sure how much do they improve upon genuine ones. at least integer wise aros is currently on the same level as aos afair. have to check for fp.

as for warp datatypes these are commercial, you can surely use them under aros 68k as you do on aos, no doubt, you just need to buy them.

all in all there are few aspects aros has serious performance problem. one of them has just been traced doen to a particular function within graphics library, seems toni has problems to improve it though. i will try to make it more public on the dev list.

Perhaps Ratte & Cosmos might be abe to help with the graphics.library problem?

You just found another defect in my defect-enough A2000... )-: Real-time clock battery is dead. (Despite the already known defects of the disk drives being dead, the CDRW being dead and the omniscsi/GVP scsi card being defunct).

Time to clone the drive to a WinUAE setup now that it has 68060 and MMU emulation?

[nicholas]

it is (up to?) 040 mmu emulation.

68060 MMU emulation added, mostly same as 68040, different stack frames and 68060 restarts all bus faults, 68040 restarts only read faults (excluding MOVEM).

Which MMU is best from the "using it under WinUAE" perspective?

Toni Wilen's probably the best person to ask mate.  I don't think he has an account on here though, just on EAB.

First of all, if it runs on Windows, I don't care. I don't have windows around

Glad to hear it!

and it's unlikely I will get one just for the matter of emulation. There is uae on Linux, which "sort-of" works (but not quite right).

The latest versions of FS-UAE on Linux work very well now. Frode has backported lots (most?) of the WinUAE code to it and it's stable and featureful enough for me to clone an exact replica of my A3000 to install, patch and configure the OS before transferring it to the real hardware anyway.

If you haven't tried it yet I really reccomend it, it's a great piece of software.

But all that aside, things like the 68060.library cannot be tested under emulation since an emulation has no point to *not* implement instructions - as the 68060 does. The best you probably do is pick up some bugs in the emulator as the trouble here is more to work with the low-level features of the CPU.

Understood completely.  Thanks for all the work you've done on the Mu tools and libraries by the way, I really appreciate it and I'm always reccomending your work to other people to use. :pint:

Cheers!

@Mods

Please can you delete all the off-topic posts, including this one?

Just been looking at the poll results and six people so far have voted "Other".

Which specific 68060.library are you actually using guys?
