Emotion - Does it work under QEMU?

Just as the topic states, does Emotion work under Amiga OS4 QEMU?

@n3m3

Dont see any reason, why not. Or if you mean what speed it is different.


On vanilla sm501 emu one should not wait nothing too great.


On iommu env where hd/rx drivers are used along with va.library results should be good.

As for qemu tcg itself, it is multithreaded/multi-cpu where emulated system uses SMP. So single core system as Amiga does not benefit nothing but GHz. And ARM is better than AMD, AMD better than Intel.


Im still on proof of consept my qemu with sm501, browservice and samba env, so no iommu here. Atm bit stuck with browservice gl acceleration. Bought dual bios r9 280 card though. Iommu should be step easier with bios/uefi card, when Im there.

Let see if I have tomorrow time to test Emotion under qemu without any acceleration. I bought Emotion yesterday from AmiShop. Next round is DVPlayer but its still on shop.


Do you have any links/examples to some low/medium quality videos? Would save some tie. As photographer Im pretty much still oriented…

At least I got my real pegasos2 to pretty good shape.

@Mlehto

As soon as I load it, everything freezes.

I ended up doing a fresh install of Amiga OS 4 with the same results.

@n3m3

Emotion was primarily developed for hardware-accelerated video playback and does not include a fallback if hardware acceleration is not available.

However, the software renderer with SM501 can also be used to play videos under Qemu. You need to view the Emotion information and then edit the settings.

@Maijestro

This did it.

Emotion plays videos when opening now.

However, I'm trying to get Video Vortex to work with Emotion and when Emotion opens it throws a i/o error?

Any ideas?

It might be that emotion still uses AmiSSL 4. You need to have its latest library in your libs:amissl folder. Try to use snoopy and see if anything is mentioned there.

@walkero

Yes, snoopy is saying it's failing trying to find amissl_v111j.library.

I have the latest amissl downloaded and installed from OS4Depot.

What now?

@n3m3

Navigate to SYS:Libs/AmiSSL/

And check which libraries you have installed; there will likely be some older libraries here that you no longer need. Delete all older libraries to avoid conflicts with Emotions. In the end, you should only have the libraries shown in my screenshot.
