Ah, that might make it less confusing. I'm actually around 800 according to openpandora (above twitters not me). Although I have to say, when I emailed to ask where I was in the queue, there was no comments about which queue that was. I just assumed I was, overall, around 800 in the list. I...

Well in response to this tweeted question: http://twitter.com/Burnthechildren/status/15130865582 Craigix answered: http://twitter.com/Craigix/statuses/15138314501 Which means they are not expected to get to the 600-700 mark until after the break this coming weekend, which is after they...

Perfect example of why generalising about performance changes in Mame (like I did above) is a bad idea. Sega Xboard driver unchanged from 0.37 to 0.90, where it was completely rewritten to be clearer and a lot more accurate. So in this case, Mame 0.89 and below would prob be a lot faster...

Probably looking for a "sweet spot" in terms of performance. There was a thread about this - ooh, 1.5 years ago - where I think 106 was mentioned due to some backend video rewrite in Mame 107. It's also was used for an Xbox version I think. There is also an argument that the huge majority of...

Although the A1200 is not vastly superior to a A500 (4x as much ram as standard, newer custom chipset, faster & upgraded cpu - although a big attraction here would be able to emulate an expanded A1200 - with an even faster 68030 cpu and mem) there is currently quite a jump in emulation terms...

Sorry if this sounds a little impatient - not meant to be - but I am curious about how far we are progressing down the order queue? Original posts/tweets from several days ago seemed to indicate we were churning out 50 odd a day ('We are going for 50 tomorrow' or similar), but maybe that was a...

JIT is currently x86 only, which is going to be one of the most significant performance hits. I'm guessing 020/030 emulation without a JIT compiler for ARM is going to be really pushing it on the Pandora. Here's hoping a strong overclock, or a competent soul to port the JIT compiler to ARM.

Looks like PUAE still under fairly active development (and bugfixing, reading the UAE mailing list) by GnoStic. Latest version here: http://github.com/GnoStiC/PUAE Note despite the name (Pandora-UAE, originally), I don't think Gnostic is that bothered by the Pandora any more (wish he was) -...

Just a quick post to say - nope. Running an emu within an emu will give utterly awful performance. It gets done for a giggle, to show it's possible etc..etc.. - but this will not give you anything playable or efficient.

A lot of overreaction here. All that's being said is that it is a little surprising/dissapointing that current comments suggest we are a way off any usable snes/megadrive/ps1 emus. Not the end of the world, and they will come. The reason it's a little surprising?: Snes...

It has nothing to do with what is available on "day 1" or what is available on psp vs gp2x vs whatever. I am just mildly surprised that the emus ran well enough to produce videos with sound demonstrating gameplay, but months later they not even ready for beta public consumption.... It's not...

Emm... No. The problem is there are videos of the pandora handling Snes, Genesis and PS1 with ease on youtube. But recent posts & comments indicate that NONE of these are actually in a usable state - which is just disappointing. Dreamcast is a tech-demo, and may never be playable. N64 - yes...

Don't assume because I have bad memories of Thatchers time I like Labour, or that I'm a left wing. (I'm actually not a great fan of democracy in general, but that's another story.) These days there is very little difference in policy between the parties - they bluster about how different they...

Really? My memory of the Thatcher years includes hardcore strikes, riots, unemployment going from 1 to 3 million, reduced spending on social services, education and housing, a massive recession and privatisation... I get reminded of this every year my train fares get hiked by a huge %, for a...

I think you are talking about different products - the 1541-Ultimate VS the $500 tablet by Fusion Garage...

I understand DaveC's comments. N64 emu arrived out of blue, great, and plenty of time yet for optimising.... but with a 30-40% cpu overclock not providing enough welly to get it running, it's going to have to be some very serious speedups to get there... I'm still hopeful - Ari64 reports 60%...

Yes it does; or rather E-UAE and WinUAE both have a JIT which speeds things up enormously, but currently x86 only. JIT provides an order of magnitude (or 2) speedup for amiga emulation on x86, so would be enormously desirable as I suspect AGA+020 is going to push the Pandora a little too far...

Note that Gnostic is still working on P-UAE, which is basically bringing WinUAE 2.0 to Linux. Although it does suggest he won't be working on speed/optimizing... Maybe he will be interested in the Pandora if he gets sent one as a Dev?.... His latest P-UAE update from today...

Good A500 emu (Uae4all) has been available for ages - PSP was very enjoyable (pspuae). Obviously no FS will be needed on Pandora. All my expectations are on P-UAE. While it's currently no faster (I was not expecting it to be - I don't believe there has been any optimisation work yet), it...

Gnostic has said months ago he plans to sort out a good amiga emu for the Pandora - hence P-UAE - but I don't think he has a Pandora yet, so he's coding blind.
