Emulator brings x86 Linux apps to ARM devices

Afaik Diablo2 could use directdraw gpu acceleration which is yet not possible with exagear. Lunixbochs is working on glshim, maybe it will be avaible through it. This could speed things quite a bit up.

Even using OpenGL for DirectDraw is a complicated thing.

Edit: The Diablo 2 OpenGL renderer was only used to do colored lighting and other effects afaik.


On my old Pentium 2 with a shitty 3D card it was a lot slower than software rendering.

Reading that, I'd probably be better off implementing my own DirectDraw driver and proxying it
Looks like they *may* be using SHM to blit, but it's hard to tell whether it actually gets used without running some code. There's also someone complaining about a blit doing too much work. I'll maybe profile it on a real host.

*Asked in a very, very careful and polite way*  May I ask, if it would be maybe useful to use the dsp for the blitting like BSP does in his demos? It would probably provide more controll over the actual actions then the gpu.

aaand a maybe important Question from me:
Is it possible to disable that Pandora Sound Energy Saving System?

Maybe that causes some Errors.

We hear often little Soundcracking when Sound be avtivated and maybe it work better when i manualy can put Sound on or PowersavingSound.

I wanted only for Testing that the Sound System is permanently on and not only when Sound come.

Any Ideas for that?

It's in /sys/devices/platform/soc-audio/PCM1773/pmdown_time (milliseconds). I'm quite sure it's not going to solve the problem though.

Thx,nice to know.

I am shure too that its not the Main Problen,but maybe it help a little

I'd be interested seeing Knytt Underground run - there's a Linux Version as well.

[ingoreis]

Tried Gnytt Game...

..Linux Version GLX Error/OpenGL Error... :unsure:

..Windows Version in Wine will not open a Window too.

I try to upgrade my Exagear Ubuntu now with sudo apt get upgrade.

Maybe i can install an Set to compile LunixBochs GLSHIM on the X86 emulatd side.

Hope it will work to compile GLSHIM on an Exagear emulated Ubuntu ^_^

 

[lunixbochs]

glshim does not work with the publicly released exagear.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Crap. Well, at least it can be used for Skype.

 

[ekianjo]

Crap. Well, at least it can be used for Skype.

I thought Skype was reported to use too much memory to be usable ?

 

[Silent-Hunter]

I'm looking forward to doing so on the Pyra.

What? ^_^

Edit:

I compiled Glshim Proxy on Exagear and try to compile now the latest Wine-Git over Night.

Maybe Sound is better working then.

Exagear ist upgraded to newer Ubuntu Version.many X86 Libs installed and i am Curious that when i compile Wine now,it detect the LibGLProxy from LunixBochs ^_^

I Think the Pandora need the whole Night for this

 

[mcobit]

GLShim cannot work as Exagear has no path to pass the calls to the host machine.


It will be slower as it will just convert GL to gles calls while the Exagear Ubuntu will render them in software if at all.

Hey please let me dream a little

Maybe it work when i insert the normal glshim compiled into the Zaxxon itself and then

the Glshim Pasthrough Library into the Chroot of  Exagear ^_^

Even when it not work then do i have latest git Wine for experimenting in Pandoras Exagear and

maybe its a 2D little Speed up or the Sound Problems solved,because i compiled it on the Pandora itself

(when its compile to end without break Errors..)

I'm so wicked excited for your version to go up on the repo. I know it is a long way away, but still...

I know it runs but did you try making an actual call with it ? Your video does not show that. I would like to know if Skype is usable on Pandora via Exagear.

 

[rohezal]

Well even without video, just calling and texting, it would be very useful to have.

 

[ekianjo]

Well even without video, just, it would be very useful to have.

I was referring to Ingo's Video, not about the video function of skype. I am interested in audio calls.
