The speed looks pretty good. It looks like it booted faster than the real thing. Can you plug a USB stick into it? Does the sound work? Can you play Spencer?

All you need now is a mini Linux booter with this and you are right to go. Given a VM pretty much makes direct hardware access obsolete in the modern age the speed should be pretty good. And you got yourself the next AmithlOS4.

Boots faster than a real Sam460ex but video performance is slow enough to make me cringe compared to my Sam460ex setup .

@Spectre660

hypex: The speed looks pretty good.

moving windows around doesnt prove much except that memory performance is good, which is expectable because of the host hardware.

in fact i agree with you. as i said gfx performance is pretty good (in comparison). on aros it even seems to be quite faster than on os4: populating workbench windows with icons happens about in an instant, browsing through mui/zune prefs renders in an instant. but all this only portrays well cpu inintensive area.

just note how long zune prefs program takes to load and execute, as such (being rather a low spec application). ill wait with judgement about practical usefulness of this emulation, till some heavy tasksy or benchmarks are performed (so where are they already, is that so hard?). suffice to say, i repeat, that i am testing webkit bowsers and other general purpose software and have a direct comparison running them in parallel both in qemu-system-ppc and qemu-system-i386, so on my end i can tell what the actual performance difference is. just i dont want to bother with a video, that would be static for the most time anyway.

i dont want to make this qemu effort look bad, on the contrary i find it quite useful, but i wouldnt want to wake unnecessary expectations.

@Hypex

for now i just finally have the os running and booting from the hd.
audio works some tine yes some time not... because a qemu bug not because sam emulation.

video isnt the best because is emulated sm502... the real one was crappy on os4 emulated will be like the real one Zoltan is try to have the real sam460.
Note im using an img 30gb big... smaller means much more faster disk access and read

Spectre just wait when passthruout will work .

PS: Morphos is impressive fast here.

It seems QEMU 3.0.0 for Windows will not run on my computer, an attempt to start ends with error message "MinGW Runtime Assertion".

Edit: Seems to be SAM460 emulation related issue, generic PPC Linux starts with:

qemu-system-ppc -hda debian_wheezy_powerpc_standard.qcow2

Edit2: QEMU3.3.0 runs (generic PPC 750 emulation as above) cca 25 % faster than WinUAE with QEMU plugin based on older QEMU release (OGR-NG in dnetc: cca 3,800,000 keys/sec vs cca 3,100,000 keys/sec on Core i3-5005U 2 GHz). If the SAM460 emulation has similar performance, CPU speed difference between QEMU and WinUAE would be small.

From: As-sassin-aaate! As-sassin-aaate! Ooh! We forgot the ammunition!

I've seen a few videos of general usage and the deficiencies in the graphics are somewhat obvious*. However what I really want to understand is the emulated CPU performance. Has anyone compiled any real world benchmarks, for example, video encoding, image processing etc and hownthey compare to physical hardware?


*with virtual GPU passthrough support I can see this being fixed.

@Karlos

If my benchmark above is valid also for SAM460ex emulation, then general integer performance on my host (Core i3-5005U 2.0 GHz) is comparable to 750FX 366 MHz. Memory speed will be probably higher than real hardware (at least it is so in WinUAE), which speeds up video decoding (eg. MPlayer). I didn´t test FPU, but I assume nothing changed since my last benchmarks (=slooooooooooow).

not bad, odyssey loaded really fast (i assume it has been ran before, so one thing maybe is, it doesnt probablly need to parse font cache), might be worth to show it browsing some reference site. overall morphos looks really fast, it is installed, not a boot iso i take it?

Tried the QEMU 3.0 rc0 and it worked! Great!

Some limitation I've encountered so far:
- not possible to have 2GB of RAM, I stop at 1GB;
- not possible to start Sysmon, it generates a Grim Reaper;
- not possible to start AmigaOS 4.1 Final update 1, it generates a Grim Reaper;
- not able to test the Cirrus video card so far (-device cirrus-vga), even if I copied the required files from the OS4.1 Classic I own.

Maybe it is just me messing it up, here the command I use for launching
qemu-system-ppc -machine sam460ex -m 2048 -rtc base=localtime -serial mon:stdio -device ide-hd,drive=disk,bus=ide.0 -drive file=/home/virgola/amigaos.qcow2,format=raw,id=disk -device virtio-mouse-pci -device virtio-keyboard-pci

-device cirrus-vga

the emulated Sam460 can handle only 900MB of ram because a controller limit

about the issues ... try to open the programs from the shell but after add more stack

@tlosm

I know how to enable it while launching QEMU, the problem relies for me on the AmigaOS side.

I have tried the following:
1) Got "Devs/Monitors/PCIGraphics" from ACube (http://acube-systems.biz/download/DualGraphicCardSetup.lha);
2) Got kickstart modules from the AmigaOS 4.1 Final for Classic (CirrusGD542X.chip, CirrusGD5434.chip, CirrusGD5446.chip, PicassoIV.card), placed them in the kickstart folder and enabled them in the kicklayout;
3) Quit QEMU, and restarted it;
4) Checked Prefs/ScreenMode but still I have only one board only ("Board 0").

Checked with Ranger (Sysmon does not work) and under "Gfx board" it only list the SiliconMotion 502. However, under "PCI Bus" I see a "VGA controller" and a "Display Controller".

What else I should do to enable the Cirrus board?

Zoltan reply you on email

if i remember good what i do when i see board1 in screen prefs:

try to use the line with -vga none and add -device cirrus-vga
if i remember good you will see the AmigaOs Fe loading really really sloow showing. it mean the cirrus is start working.

Is the PIV emulation expected to be much better?

And if I get it right, in the future there could be a chance to add a PCIe Radeon card and pass it through into the emulation?
This should give nearly native speed, correct?

@mulder77

not faster because it use petunia for emulate 68k instructions but more compatible because sm502 emulation need to be implemented.

future in passthrought is my hope ... when it will work will gave really big improvements in emulation speed and compatiblity.
