BALATON Zoltan also told me about it, we don't know if it's really true and being able to use 68k drivers under a PPC system emulation makes no sense, it's like when we could use SFS 68k, but it didn't bring any speed improvement. With the PPC native version of SFS and the right CPU there was a real boost in speed.

Nevertheless, I'm glad to have met you, at that time you helped me a lot with WinUae and I was able to show my gratitude and help you now

I will also support the Qemu emulation in the future because I already like using it with AmigaOs4.1

@whiteQuote:

We could make this happen with crowdfunding, I would participate with a sum that is in the triple digits, but again there would not be much support as most Qemu Peg2 users have already had to pay once to use the emulation by buying the AmigaOs4.1 Pegasos 2 version for it.

Software development is very time consuming and especially when it comes to writing graphics card drivers, not everyone is able to do it. So things stay as they are....there was no one who tested Qemu with modified AmigaOs4.1 Peg2 until I did.

We could have had this emulation about 2 years ago. BALATON Zoltan announced this information much earlier, but nobody wanted to try it. I am satisfied with how things are already going and what will happen in the future remains to be seen.

BALATON Zoltan thinks that the Voodoo 3 support will not work in the long run, I agree with him an ATI support would be the better way and also future proof for Qemu and AmigaOs4.1. The Voodoo 3 cards are very limited with their limited memory.

Qemu Peg2 is an excellent emulation, but it has little to no support and so things will remain as they are at the moment. We have to make do with what we already have, even if it is very limited. There won't be any new drivers either, there just aren't enough developers to do that.

BALATON Zoltan will have the ATI emulation closed maybe in 3-4 years, he only works on it then and when he feels like it.

@smarkusgQuote:


I have compared and tested both versions uae-amigfx sdl and without sdl are about the same from the speed. As @white already writes the difference is that the version without SDL can not use uaegfx card. The sdl version can, but only runs on CPU G3. For my purposes, the version without SDL is enough. Thanks for the tip.

Impressive that it runs so well even under the MacMini with M1, I would still be interested in a benchmark, could you run this benchmark by Hans? I would like to capture the differences to my Mac Studio.

https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/ ... php?topic_id=9226&start=0

Also to be able to execute Qemu over a start script I did not succeed, I see you could solve this very well, is there a possibility that I can throw your start script also for my machine, you could send it to me and I adapt then my paths to this script. It should be possible that you can edit it again after the creation?

@white

Ok, I did some quick tests with their linked E-Uae version, running the game "Heirs of Earth" it has been a very computationally intensive game under Amiga 1200. It runs perfectly without any lags. I never played this game on my Amiga 1200, but I thought the intro was awesome with that voice-over. Thanks

@whiteQuote:

Thanks my friend that solved my problem, PhytonSSL is not compatible with Newer AmiSSL over 5.x versions especially on first time setup, TwitchTV works perfectly now

@jeorg @ktadd

APPDIR is fantastic, I didn't know that AmigaOs4.1 can remember the paths automatically too. It of course saves some time with the otherwise manual setting of paths where that program is located, great feature. Again something learned and thanks again for the fast help, you are great!

@walkero

Thanks for the script compilation of AioStream

Greetings

@whiteQuote:

Ok thanks for UAE and also the explanation of TwitchTV.

Unfortunately I can't get it to run...Phyton SSL is installed properly as described, Emotion is in Utilities for me and the path in Odyssey is set. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and need more help. These are the paths I changed in the cfg.py file:

# Set the path to your preffered video player. This is going to be used on recorded streams only.
# This is used only if autoplay is set to True.
#vPlayer = "APPDIR:Work:Player/Emotion/Emotion"
vPlayer = "APPDIR:SYS:Utilities/MickjT-MPlayer/mplayer-nonaltivec"
# Set the arguments that are going to be used with your preffered video player.
#vPlayerArgs = ""
vPlayerArgs = "-vo sdl -quiet -really-quiet"

# Set the path to your preffered video player. This is going to be used mostly on live streams,
# but depending the network, might be used on recorder streams as well.
# This is used only if autoplay is set to True.
sPlayer = "APPDIR:SYS:Utilities/Emotion/Emotion"
# Set the arguments that are going to be used with your preffered streaming player.
sPlayerArgs = ""
aPlayer = "APPDIR:Work:AmigaAMP3/AmigaAMP3"
aPlayerArgs = ""

Nevertheless I get this error message:

@joergQuote:

Thank you for the explanation. And yes the sm501 emulation is a dead end, only 2d acceleration, 16 bit and the limited resolutions. Your solution sounds promising in theory, it will surely be a lot of work and for that probably no one will be willing to do that.

Anyway I got more help here than I would have expected and also some bugs in SDL2 were fixed because I reported them or were uncovered by using them in 16 bit and for that I am already very grateful.

Also we both had a bad start but I think that you understand some things better now and I am not a troll but it is important to me that I want to use AmigaOs4.1 best possible on my hardware.

@Hans

First of all, thanks for the great compilation and the script which works very well.

Here now also my result under Qemu, the hardware they please take from my signature.

Now can I please get a 32 bit driver for AmigaOs4.1 so we can move on to the GPU benchmark ? Don't take it seriously it's just a joke...

Thanks again for the script and merging the CPU benchmarks.

I am somewhat pleasantly surprised that these results are so different.....es shows once again how strong this ARM Cpu is, but also shows its weaknesses in some areas.

---> VIDEOBUS <---
READ: 8767 MB/S.
WRITE: 10102 MB/sec.

That impressed me the most, how does that come about, maybe it's because the main memory as well as the garficard memory are used as shared memory.

With the benchmark you can imagine how well AmigaOs4.1 with Qemu runs on my machine. That is the point why I chose this emulation, it gives me a good feeling to be able to use AmigaOs4.1 under it. AmigaOs4.1 runs albeit somewhat limited as my 2nd operating system thanks to Qemu.

Numbers can be manipulated, with videos it becomes very difficult, if they would like I can also create a video about it again.

works very well at 16bit with UAEGFX

From where did you get this version os4depot? I would like to play with it too.

@whiteQuote:

Thank you my friend....also I have something for you. Run a few tests to confirm that it has improved in speed. I forgot how to install Twitch Tv under AmigaOs4.1 I need clear instructions please. aiostreams and phytonssl I already copied in utilities. How to continue ?

I have never been able to get TwitchTv to work under AmigaOs4.1.

Please compile it like this and let me know if it works on your machine.

./configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu --disable-dbus-display --enable-slirp --enable-lto

@whiteQuote:

I have it stashed away somewhere and can't find it anymore :(

@HansQuote:

You could use this bench it contains several tools that directly access the cpu under the emulation and real hardware.

WhetDhryStone

Otherwise, perhaps this tool would be interesting and there are already some entries on Os4Depot of it.

sortbench

As @smarkusg mentioned, it currently runs really well on Mac with M1 chipset, apparently the ARM cpu is perfectly suited to handle the emulation. I have made a short video from the complete kernel boot process to the AmigaOs4.1 workbench.



And the Sortbench via SysMon, since it probably also directly accesses the CPU.



I would be interested in your benchmarks that you perform directly under the emulation to be able to determine the percentage difference between the CPUs.

I don't want to offend anyone here it's mainly about AmigaOs4.1 and not about the emulation, if you feel bothered by me just let me know and I'll stop.

AmigaOs4.1 gives me a lot of pleasure and what I tried to convey is that it can work well under certain circumstances and with the right hardware (even if limited).

Greetings

@HansQuote:

Not the latest hardware, but it should still be at least about as fast as a Pegasos.

Under which system are you using Qemu since you have no window output assigned. Qemu supports:

-display sdl
-display gtk
-display cocoa (only available on MacOs)

You can also allocate more memory with:

-m 1024

The rest looks ok for now, as an example I use this start line:

-M pegasos2 -cpu 7457 -accel tcg -bios /Volumes/BackUP/PegasosQemuDatein/pegasos2.rom -vga none -device sm501 -drive if=none,id=cd -m 1024 -device ide-cd,drive=cd,bus=ide.1 -drive if=none,id=hd,file=/Users/reneengel/hd2SFS.img,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=hd,bus=ide.0 -device rtl8139,netdev=network01 -netdev user,id=network01 -rtc base=localtime -display cocoa -serial stdio

It won't reach the nivou of your AmigaOne x5000, but the speed should still be noticeably better compared to WinUae and AmigaOs4.1 Classic under your hardware.

@m3xQuote:

Thanks for the valuable information, that explains a lot. Under the Qemu Pegasos 2 emulation we also tested MorphOs with the sm501 driver and there were 24 bit screens available, apparently this driver is supported a bit better there.

It confirms that the emulation of the sm501/2 works correctly and the limitations come from the guest system, in our case from the Graphic.library used by AmigaOs 4.1 which does not fully support this driver.

Your updated sm502 driver could also improve the AmigaOs4.1 Pegasos 2 emulation under certain circumstances.

@HansQuote:

This is of course very interesting and I was wondering why everyone talks about "sm502" but qemu uses the line "sm501". Since this driver already works, maybe we could add the missing part of the 32 bit output. sm501/2 should be very similar and the adjustments would certainly be done with little effort. Is there any documentation for this chipset?

You can find the written driver under:
"Qemu/hw/display/sm501.c"
Should you want to have a look at it.

Quote:

Normally, Qemu 8 Final should work very well. Of course, the decisive factor is your hardware, the faster the better.

I'm currently using a Qemu 8.0 custom build where a ppc-hardfloat-fpu patch is included which makes the FPU emulation even faster. I could provide the build with the patches, but it has to be compiled by yourself.

Zoltan BALATON has also submitted a new "bitops" patch that will increase the FPU emulation, with luck this change will be available in Qemu 8.1.

On which hardware do you use Qemu?

I don't even dare to ask since you are developing under AmigaOs4.1, you have set up the installation under SFS?

Maybe you could also post your startup line of Qemu just so we can match it. Probably it is due to your hardware being a bit too weak.

@white is running Qemu on a Ryzen 5800x
@smarkusg uses a MacMini M1 for it

My hardware is below in the signature

@MaijestroQuote:

When I watched your video I was surprised that you could watch YouTube in a pretty big window and smoothly.

I don't know what I changed, but it works just as well on my machine. Before I saw your video, I had always kept the window content quite small, which is not necessary. Thanks again for your video.

Here again the comparison:

@smarkusgQuote:

You could ask here if you can get help if you have already compiled it and it already works even if it has bugs, there are also many nice AmigaOs developers here.

I was also helped with MilckyTracker, SDL2, ScummVM we are still AmigaOs4.1 users even if it runs over an emulation.
