@Trekiej


the qemu team is working on better fpu performances. Zoltan in better general emulation.

@tlosm

Thanks.
Next year I am planning to buy new hardware.
It is a fork in the road.

Just for understand this is the hard work of Zoltan on this project.

@newlight

yes do it...

too many people recommending others to buy new hardware for 2000$ and not doing it themselves... do it. Buy X5000

Go go go

@OlafS25

Me, I want to buy new Amiga hardware.
I will have to put more money in savings.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I am in a hurry for some new stuff in the Amiga world.

He has an X5000. At least to me knowledge since I've been offering assistance to some issues. So has put money where his mouth is.

Here the git of Qemu 4.0 (alpha)

Maybe you can be interested looking QEMU 3.1 running on a PowerMac G5 QUAD & Ubuntu Mate 16.04

I registered some videos on youtube (I'm sorry only italian language for now and poor image quality):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_1n5Kfrtfw&t=6s (Part1 - how to build qemu from sources and G5 optimizations)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUh2x051Rj4&t=722s (Part2 - amigaos4.1 launch and some speed tests)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glt3rBv1EWg (Part3 - surfing internet with ibrowse)

Emulation is very slow for now but it runs well and, once enabled KVM, it will be fastest amiga ever seen!

I hope there will be also a new Amiga SM502 GFX 32bit driver, because QEMU works better with 32bit gfx drivers and now it needs to convert all to 16bit slowing down things even further.

git clone git://github.com/dgibson/qemu.git tags/ppc-for-4.0-20181213 dont work?

by the way you can download it here

Tried under amigaos4l with sgit and seems to work:

#SDH1:Programar/SGIT/sgit clone git://github.com/dgibson/qemu.git tags/ppc-for-4.0-20181213
*** BREAK(3038 kb, 6311/489156) / idx 1% ( 5137/489156) / chk 0% ( 0/ 0)
#

There is a blank space between "qemu.git" and "tags/ppc..."

Ooops. double post.

@tlosm

The first one does not work and the second does.

Really?

If you look at his postings and the list of his hardware there is no mentioning of X5000. Because of that I thought he does not own it.

@OlafS25

Yes really. I know what you mean as I didn't see it in the list either. But in this post that predates mine above he mentions the X5000.

@Fl@sh


Has anyone tried pci passthrough? It would be interesting to see how well it works with an actual video card. :)

@terminills

At this stage it's not possible, maybe with Aros under x86 there could be more chances.

I think also sam460ex machine code needs to activate hypervisor to do that.

Zoltan is still working on sam460ex sources so maybe there will be news in next weeks.

We are looking for sam460ex real hardware owners to make some tests.
I'd like to know if there's someone with a Linux distro installed and wants try to launch Qemu emulating Amigaos4 with KVM enabled (virtualized mode).

Is there someone interested in that task who want share some feedback with us?
