@FlynnTheAvatar Ah, I see, thank you for the clarification. I guess in time we hope for a more resilant usb stack in the future.

Hi @Boabster,
The issue is that if OS 4 crashes, it most likely also kills the USB stack. This means that it does not matters if you have a wired or wireless keyboard; because the stack is dead, no input will be processed.

@Raziel
I have tried everything.
Maybe I just have to accept, that my card maybe is not the best supported.
Is there any good advice on what to buy next?

I'm still experiencing a substantial instability on my 1222. I must open apps in a certain order to avoid the Grim Reaper such as: never launch AMIStore as the first app after boot, never launch an .AVI file as first file after boot, Tower57 no audio, Doom3 not working anymore, TuneNet is crashing quite often, etc...
And the weird part is that if I follow "the rules", the system can stay stable for hours. I know that we're in an experimental field, but it's clear to me that other owners are usually not experiencing my same issues. I tried many video cards, a few ram modules, and I managed to fix here and there, but without the amazing alternative SPE drivers I couldn't really make the 3d side working, which shouldn't be mandatory.
In conclusion, at the moment, My Sam460 and my AmigaOneXE G4 are way more reliable, but I'm positive that sometimes in the future, I will find the reason and sort this.

Hi All,
Sorry not to hijack the post onto a different topic but a similar query.
I have the A1222+ system, sometimes it can completely lock up and I use the power button to power off and on the system to get it back into a responsive state.
I understand on the amiga classic you would use the Left CTRL, and the 2x amiga keys to reboot, the classic amiga.
However using a Windows keyboard, I understand, it is CTRL, left Alt and right Alt to reboot the A1222+ system.
But it does not always work, when the system completely locks up, it does not respond to those above keys, though I am using a wireless keyboard, could it maybe to do with that being unable to respond?
If I used a wired keyboard instead, you shoud not get that problem, it should be able to reboot the A1222+ regardless?

I have the same. I think it's because it doesn't include VAT when it does its overall balance calculations, which gives a surplus on the balance.
Last time I bought something, at least, the amount increased with the VAT amount :)

The vcpu can only be stopped by QEmu itself, for example when accessing the emulated TimeBase TBU/TBL registers in the AmigaOS MicroDelay() function.
I don't think there's any stop during such things. I think QEmu just generates code that jumps to what they call "helper" functions.

@Hans Quote: This absolutely should be fixed in the kernel itself. While it doesn't affect functionality, burning unused CPU cycles in a loop is a waste of energy. I'm not sure, but I might have added my CPUTemp.docky idle.task replacement code in the ExecSG sources in a
#if 0
...
#endif
part (never used because my code doesn't work, or at least wasn't tested, on all CPUs, only on 603e and 750 CPUs). If you have access to the ExecSG source you could check it, or if not ask someone who has access.

If it also does some IO like accessing emulated hardware registers then the main thread will also have to run. This may explain why waiting for IO may lower the vcpu usage as then the vcpu may sleep instead of running the idle loop. No, if an AmigaOS task waits for IO the busy loop idle.task is running. The vcpu can only be stopped by QEmu itself, for example when accessing the emulated TimeBase TBU/TBL registers in the AmigaOS MicroDelay() function. Quote: It looks like this may also be an issue on real machine which would use more power and keep the system run hotter instead of letting the CPU sleep when idle so maybe it should be fixed for the real machine too independent of QEMU. (Unless it does use something that works on real machine but not emulated by QEMU.) I implemented the power saving ide.task replacement and displaying the CPU core temperature in CPUTemp.docky after frying an AmigaOne XE G4 CPU module, the original CPU heat sink and fan used by EyeTech was inadequate and I didn't replace it. But that only was a problem when doing something real, like compiling code for several hours, not when doing nothing and only the idle.task busy loop is executed. In automatic power mode the PowerPC CPUs switch off or slow down all unused units, and just executing a busy loop can disable nearly all CPU units: All memory transfer units since the code is in the L1 cache and no data is accessed, all integer ALU units, all FPU units, the AltiVec units where available, the branch prediction and code prefetch unit, etc.

@elfpipe Quote: It worked for me also yesterday. I did some heavy shopping :). Thanks! Great! @daveyw Quote: Amistore is telling me I have £3.27 balance, but there doesn't seem to be any way for me to spend this - if I try and make a purchase, I am prompted to add the full price of the item. Could you try contacting Amistore's customer support (there should be one)? I shouldn't have to be the go-between. I don't know how Amistore works. Maybe it doesn't have a system to split the bill between store credit and a different payment method. Hans

@elfpipe
sound prefs test sound only ever worked with a massive amount of trickery for me, so i don't bother
AmigaAmp has it's own sound settings, you might want to change the output unit and see if that solves it
tunenet I don't know, too buggy for my liking
edit: be sure to set all units to the max number of channels

Quite a regular 
|
I think performance counters of PPC CPUs aren't emulated with TCG and it's proabably not easy to implement as it runs JIT compiled code so it does not know how many guest instructions it corresponds to which the performance counters should count. A sampling profiler that does a backtrace periodically should work but tools that rely on performance counters won't work. I think this was discussed before.
QEMU has one thread per vcpu and a main thread. If the vcpu always runs code it will be busy. If it also does some IO like accessing emulated hardware registers then the main thread will also have to run. This may explain why waiting for IO may lower the vcpu usage as then the vcpu may sleep instead of running the idle loop.
It looks like this may also be an issue on real machine which would use more power and keep the system run hotter instead of letting the CPU sleep when idle so maybe it should be fixed for the real machine too independent of QEMU. (Unless it does use something that works on real machine but not emulated by QEMU.)

I am having a blast with my revived x5000.
BUT - audio only works with some apps. I am not sure what make the card is, but I know it to have worked perfectly in the past. In Quake2 and Quake3 there is perfect sound. In AmigaAmp3 and TuneNet, there is no sound. Also, in the Sound prefs app, the boot sound doesn't play, and the test sound buttons give some crazy no good behavior.
Apparently, I am using emu10kx.audio.
Is there some hint, that I am missing?

@elfpipe
If you are using RadeonHD gfx card, you need to downgrade your RadeonHD driver to 3.7. With version 5.x the driver lost its ability to do a warm reboot.
Best regards,

Hi,
After installing Enhancer Software 2.2, the x5000/20 can no longer reboot warmly. What can I do ? Is there an explanation ?
Thanks, elfpipe

@Capehill Quote: Did you test Tequila's PROFILE switch, by the way? I added simple profiling support because Hieronymus didn't work on my systems initially (but it was luckily updated later and started to work). I did a long time ago, and can't remember what issues I encountered. For what I'm measuring, I'd prefer something that doesn't open up a GUI window, and simply records the data for X number of seconds, and then reports what happened. Hans
