[UserReview] Vampire V2-128 received and it's just pure p0rn.

For me, FPU emulation is a must. However I'd temper that by saying just the 040 FPU subset, which includes one or two operations missing on the 060fpu and be able to trap properly any missing ones so that a software solution is possible (ala oxypatcher).

To be fair, if the CPU core advertised itself as a basic 020 but silently supported the 040fpu and some other 040+ instructions like move16, lots of software would just work.

From what I understand, no 68k CPU "advertise" itself, it's a matter of software trying to identify the CPU based on poking around

I dont understand the point of showing an 060 demo at this stage, just to show that "it runs" ?
Its completely unwatchable, the 3D engine runs at slide-show speed.

This is a beta preview. A snapshot of a work-in-progress.

I do. Clearly shows something key is missing from the acceleration experience in certain situations. So helps interested purchases see more views of performance.

Apart from that I agree with Karlos. Who?......

A software fix that just sets the flags in Exec would be enough. The idea is, the CPU looks like a vanilla 020 and that's what is set. However, unlike a vanilla 020 it will silently support the 6888x subset of instructions from the 040 and in addition, some other useful ones like the cache line move. Note that this doesn't mean it needs to emulate it exactly, just move 4 long words at a time without touching any status register bits.

Most executables compiled for 040/060 don't specifically check for it and will work, albeit very slowly on 020/88x.

The CPU emulation in OS4 is similar to this. It looks like a basic 020 but silently supports almost every user mode 68k instruction/addressing mode.

I think it be better if Thomas forgot about Picasso96, instead of trying to sell obsolete API's, it be better if Hyperion made a small OS update for 680x0, and new ROM's (with full NSD64 support)and updated Graphics.library, this be good for developers to have common AmigaOS API on 680x0 and PowerPC.

Sure be lot more profitable to sell software to 680x0 and PowerPC users.

[Iggy]

Valid point, P96 isn't essential. And a common base would be useful.

Testing of legacy MOD playing with PAMELA AUDIO Chip, which support 24bit mixing precision plus 4-times oversampling. Optional STEREO separation is enabled, it's better for headphones.

agreed. this looks awesome!
