Yes, XMAME is officially dead and replaced by SDLMAME. BTW if people want to resurrect XMAME, I will strongly oppose :)

Out of curiosity, why isn't CodeSourcery an option?

No :P But I know one individual who was given one by nVidia. My point was just that the chip exists (though I guess it's still an engineering sample) and works. What bad did you hear? The only issue I have at the moment is the lack of Linux support with graphics driver. I have Ubuntu running...

I can confirm this as I have one.

The latter project has moved here: http://maemo.gitorious.org/qemu-maemo

I was just trying to make it less frightening to others than you do :P

More than $5000 for a 2-month long job? Minimum wage in France is less than $1300 a month and student internship is often much less than that. Anyway I don't think the wage is the incentive, demonstrating ability to deliver looks much more important to me.

The DSP could be used to offload sound generation (e.g. Q3 sound on an Android phone reduces speed by 20%; see here) and perhaps some 2D tasks. Emulating any x86 instruction on it would certainly be inefficient :) As far as SSE goes, you're right an A8 probably wouldn't be fast enough (and...

Writing raw assembly would certainly be a pain. You'd better use the "optimizing" assembler to write assembly, it will take care of scheduling and other painful things. Of course as usual, getting the most out of that beast requires raw assembly, but this should be considered as extreme and...

That looks extremely interesting! And similar to how I intended on running Wine :) JayFoxRox, is there any way to see your code? Some simple example might be enough.

Can you prove this claim? The lack of Wine running on ARM isn't a proof it's not an option :P Yes, and then I'll be famous, rich and will have many women (which might make my wife angry).

Well for my defense, I will say that out of context what borgqueenx wrote could have been taken as Red Alert doesn't run under Win95 :P OTOH I think that Red Alert could be playable on Pandora using Wine.

Red Alert certainly had a win95 version. Perhaps were you thinking of some other game?

I edited while you were answering, sorry for the noise :)

According to Wikipedia it was DOS only and then re-issued in 2002 for WinME and WinXP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_II OTOH CivNet (released in 1995) had Windows 3.1/95 support. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_(video_game) Well it's Wikipedia, it might be wrong :) And...

In that case instruction alignment might be beneficial if you jump into the sequence.

You missed something :) $ grep -Ir assem_arm . ./r4300/new_dynarec/assem_arm.c: * Mupen64plus - assem_arm.c * ./r4300/new_dynarec/new_dynarec.c:#include "assem_arm.h" ./r4300/new_dynarec/new_dynarec.c:#include "assem_arm.c" EDIT: this was my...

I think the code alignment section could be misinterpreted. It's true for short basic blocks where the probability of conflicting offsets increases. So for JIT, it's probably a good advice, but for instance for long sequences of instructions without any branch, it isn't.

I obviously can't confirm/deny what you say about branch predictors, but it should be noted that some Thumb-2 apps can be faster than ARM ones due to reduced Icache pressure, which for big apps can be the limiting factor.

My orange is better than your apple, I'm sure :P
