Good work!

However, seems to be too slow to be really useable (application loading, GFX redraw etc.).

How fast is DosBox on Pi? Could you try DHRY2OD benchmark (See post 57)?

Ok will try it.

Remember:
This is arm soft float. Hard float will be 10-20% faster.
Raspi's GPU isn't supported for 2D accelerated desktop stuff.
This will change with Wayland/Xwayland -> and this fixes the problem.

The A8 cortex in the Efika MX matches the SAM440 @733 under debian.
The pi's ARM11 cpu matches more a Pentium II 200. Maybe 400 when overclocked.

I will posts some results in a few minutes.

Ah, that explains not so fluent GFX. Then, it wasn´t that bad. Maybe with faster disk access, it could be useable. As I read in some book about PC hardware (published in 1991): fast GFX and fast HDD are most important factor, if you want built computer with "fast" feeling. True even in 2013.

According to some benchmarks under RiscOS is Pi comparable to Pentium II 300-350 MHz, still only half as fast as SAM440.

Thanks!

Thanks. It seems this DosBox port doesn´t like cycles=max setting. 0.09 DMIPS is in 8 bit territory (roughly equal to fixed setting of 60 CPU cycles).

Hard to say, what fixed CPU cycles settings would be ideal. Maybe somewhere between 1500 and 2500 CPU cycles.

Ups used wrong exe ; )
Was drhy2nd..

DHRY2OD uses all possible optimalisations, DHRY2ND uses no optimalisations.

Again, thanks for your time.

0.23 DMIPS. That is exactly 8088 4.77 MHz (or 150 CPU cycles). As I wrote, it seems cycles=max setting is not ideal for this port of DosBox, fixed setting could give better results, but it is hard to fine tune desired value (eg. I run some of my games with good music and increase CPU cycles by ctrl-F12 until sound starts to be wrong).

Patiently awaiting a version for Ouya if that is ever possible. Thanx
