Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

As I explained at http://github.com/smokku/uae4all/issues/closed#issue/32 it's just the way auto frameskip works.
If you need cycle-exact emulation (ie. demos) you want Auto, if you want smooth animation 0 might be preferred.

I did some testing and it looks the bottleneck is the OCS emulation code (together with Copper and Blitter), not the CPU core, so I will stick to UAE core as Cyclone has problems with programs doing weird things.

UAE m68k

Zool - loads disk 1+2 ok took ages to load though (serious issues with gaphics all over the place)

Digital concert 4 (MUSIC DEMO) ran fine no problems on all tracks.

lotus turbo challenge - loads fine works great on speed, sound and graphics


Cyclone

Zool - loads disk 1+2 took ages to load.worked fine

Digital concert 4 (MUSIC DEMO) - music is messed up and couldn't select extra tracks and scrolling message bar messed up.

lotus turbo challenge - loads fine sound good but graphics flickering all over

I will be doing a few more tests, i will only report results which show differences between the two versions

One thing i did notice is after the backlight goes out and the game or demo is running idle in the background, every 2 mins or so the sound (or phone speed) would slow down for about 3-4 seconds then it would pick up again, this was apparent on both versions with no other application running in the background

i even tried this in offline mode and it still did it.Has anyone seen this??

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

1st thoughts are that the UAE m68k version is a much smoother ride the problems i have experienced may be down to a dodgy rom.

cyclone just seems too inconsistent with overall performance.

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

Thanks for testing.

I will stick to UAE core then. :)

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

That makes perfect sense, as switching to 0 presumably makes those things a priority over the CPU emulation as they are graphics related.

Anyway, I think 99% of the time you don't need cycle-exact emulation, its not even enabled by default on WinUAE as I recall. So Auto is quite literally a last resort option but makes sense to keep it as default, as not everyone using the emulator will know what to change.

I am also wondering if PR1.2 will actually improve performance due to fixing those pesky graphics driver bugs, or do they only really affect 3D functionality?

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

Is it possible to get my old copy of DH0 running somehow, like in WinUAE E-UAE? Tried to find an answer but the closest I came was a comment that the HD feature was supported in a README in the docs/ folder (which seemed to be the original UAE readme).

If it requires manual config or maybe to push it all into a ADF or something, it's fine but just want to know if it's possible and where to start. If not, is it planned for a future release?

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

I plan on porting HDD support from E-UAE, but it's not the first priority task.

You may create an issue on the bugtracker to keep me reminded though. ;)

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

Nice! Looking forward to it, and great work with the emulator and sixaxis so far. Absolutely worth paying for if you put it on OVI (even without DH0 I mean).

Re: UAE4All Maemo Edition
 

You know you spend too much time on maemo.org when the first thing you think of when someone says "not the first priority" is "Planned for Harmattan". :D

In other news, I have added OpenID to my sites but there are a couple of annoying bugs that I am too tired to fix.

First one I think might be a problem on maemo.org as when I first use the OpenID it asks me if I want to "accept" or "accept and remember" permission for my site. I choose to "accept and remember" and it returns to my site claiming it was "cancelled". However when I attempt a second login it is immediately accepted without question, as it indeed did remember the permission.

Second problem, the return URL ALWAYS gets a second forward slash after the domain name. It seems to work alright but I am worried it might break in some browsers. All attempts to remove the rogue slash just break authentication so I get stuck on maemo.org instead of returning to my site. Annoying, although maybe not too much of a problem if I figure how to use immediate mode. However I would rather focus on adding more compatibility options and private messaging to the site, so if it doesn't cause any problems I will leave it alone for now.

Ive tried Microprose F1 GP on both versions and it still wont load past the intro, whereas i worked on older versions of uae
