Endless Games With Amiga Emulator?

[0xDEADBEEF]

Timex 2048 (ZX Spectrum clone) I still have one running. Laser Squad FTW!
Atari 800XL (Now I have 1200XL with 1050 drive with Happy Warp).
I never had Amiga but now I have A1200 with Blizzard PPC and BVision at my dad's. He has to put it together and send it to me (and it is taking him like 3 years now).
I have 3 SGI Indys R5K (2 running Gentoo, one Irix) and boatload of parts, one SGI O2 R5K, one Sun Ultra 60 dual 360MHz (Gentoo/Sparc), one DEC Alpha Multia (waiting for Debian install)
And of course Zaurus C3100
And Fossil Wrist PDA running PalmOS 4 ;-)
And I am 32

I figured, what the heck, me too:    ;-)
++Amiga
++Over_30

I have in my posession: CDTV Expanded, CD32 Expanded, A1200 & A400 Converted into tower.

that mans got geek SKILLS!!!

Yes- I am jelous. Can anyone here top that?

DEADBEEF- you really need to buy a top of the line SHARP X68K machine and a Neo-Geo to rule one and all. You've even got a perfectly geeky age

I know a guy who has Origin 2000 supercomputer running Linux in his garage.
So I don't really feel special.  ;-)

Yes, I have compiled this and have it working fairly well.  Sound seems to destroy the emulation's speed tho, unfortunately.  However with the sound off it works well for things like speedball2, etc.

I've tried optimising with the GCC flags for arch, cpu and tune and it runs.  Even tried using multiplication tables rather than CPU instructions for multiplication to get sound working better, but to no avail.  Tried OSS sound vs SDL sound...  Still no real improvement.

I'll build an IPK if anyone's interested?

zx81....16k ram pack....(not so impressive i hear you say?)...running x3 reunion.

in regards to amiga emulator....I managed to play "neuromancer" ....without too many problems, but unfortunately for sheer polish the snes emulator is head and shouldersabove anything I could achieve with tha amiga emulator...if the speed and the mouse could be sorted it`d be great to play "player manager' one of the best soccer management games ever.

hey chiark ...id love to give ur version a whirl....being using mmharts from way back......

[chiark]

OK, I'll package it up today  .  I've kept 5 different executables, each with different optimisations set - I think the full optimisation and SDL sound version is about the best.

From mailing Rich Drummond (e-uae author), he seems to think that we should be able to get sound working fine on the Zaurus, and he'll be trying to look into getting E-UAE running sweeter on the ARM sometime in the future

THanks so much....be really nice to have  a decent version

[chiark]

Well, I wouldn't say it's "decent", but on the other hand it works
I ought to mention that I've optimised it for the iwmmxt architecture (3000, 1000, 3100) so I'm not sure whether it'll work on the 750 - d'oh!

good work nick!
and yes, i'm interested in an ipk!

Now that would make an interesting poll... how many forum members had an amiga? then look at members over 30......

I'm 25, and I LOVED Amigas. I had an A500 and an A3000. I remember when those things blew away PCs. I recently looked at getting an A1200 just for the hell of it, but decided to get a C1000 instead

Hello

I compiled uae (not e-uae) amiga emulator for pdaxrom, tried to play some games for example Goblins2 and it is quite playable, but I don't know how to use stylus as mouse. Mouse cursor is allways out of point where I click, and I dont know how buttons works. I will try with USB mouse and I will see what can be done. I compiled also e-uae, it compiled OK but didnt worked. If someone has experiences with amiga emulation on Z let me know.

BTW: I didn't have real Amiga computer.  But there are many nice games that were also on PC and are unplayable with dosbox on Z.

If you want my uae binaries I can pack it and post.

hm.. i got it running, but the speed of a side-scrolling shooter drops to about one eighth of original amiga level (measured by simply looking at the "time" display in the game), even without sound

i compiled it without any special flags, just ./configure and make

any suggestions to improve speed? how can i optimise for arm? is optimisation advisable?

did i get it right? uae on zaurus is too slow for action games, and role playing and adventure games (where speed would be okay) don't really work because of mouse calibration problem?

If you are using real mouse (usb) it is far better. I tried on Goblins 2,3 games.
Maybe even older versions of uae will be faster. Or for some games is maybe worth to try hatari emuator. There are many games available for both platforms.
I also used just ./configue make. When I tried to enable specialities in ./configure I got segfaults or other errors.
There is also project xfellow but its pages are temporary unavailable. They say that fellow is a bit faster than uas although less compatible
