What do you want to see on the A1222?

Hi, folks!

I'll be doing the A1222 demo at AmiWest in a couple of weeks and am looking for content requests. Is there a piece of software you'd like to see running? Any questions you want answered? Let me know in this thread and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

MediaVault :D :D :D

But also, I guess people will be interested to see Youtube playback using Odyssee, emulated classic games, and maybe running Blood, which just released, or even Diablo, Tower57, Spencer. And Sketchblock would be nice, or any graphics program, like ImageFX.

An accurate delivery date?
A laptop case?

In seriousness, Heretic 2.

Software rendered Quake!
and the OS4 version of Shogo MAD!

I would really like see the performance of the FPU "trampoline" code with a 3D game, should it be working/demonstrable.
but that is a bit tricky as most 3D games (such as the Shogo) use either classic Warp3D or MiniGL
which the Polaris cards don't support without Wazp3D, which I think isn't finished yet.

So the most appropriate 3D games to show off the FPU trampoline system would be Spencer and AmicraftNova, maybe some of Kas1e's games like Foobillard++.

FPU 3D games is of course if far from the ideal usecase of the A1222 but I'm just curious

A-EON did used to show SuperTuxKart as a example of a 3D game to run on A1222 in their press releases , though they're not available anymore.

Super curious as to how sysspeed would perform on it, but synthetic benchmarks aren't the most exciting to show at a event.

SMTube would be actually useful to demonstrate, wonder if it could be setup to use Emotion for hardware video decoding.

@Nuder_Try
I second that! but I think that Heretic 2 a WarpOS only game?
Which could still be demonstrated but needs to rely on some third party libs.
If WarpOS games are OK then I'll love to see Payback too!

To test FPU emulation Flashmandelng could be a good candidate
Maybe we are in time for an A1222 specific version too, it only needs to be recompiled with right GCC version.

@eliyahu

A Monitor! 😂

Really anything, like emotion, mplayer, tune-net... GCC 11.2, Qt 6.0
(Hey you didn't say it was supposed to be feasible or make sense!)😃😂😭

ARGH! how could I forget about M.A.C.E?!!!

Here's a demo

@Nuder_Try
I was about to make the same joke, but you beat me to it.

I guess I am interested to know if it is useable at all?!
Or what is missing (drivers etc.) in order to use it as an every day computer...?
And why it is not produced yet?

I'd like to see how it runs Python (pygame) games.

@eliyahu

Please run this Blender benchmark and post results here...damn can't believe it;s been almost 12 years now that I started that thread...heck i still had my old Samflex@800 back then too...damn time flies when you're having fun

@eliyahu

Frontier: Elite II under EUAE since there are plenty of videos on youtube making it fairly easy to guage emulation speed compared to other systems.

@eliyahu

Basilisk II / Warcarft ii

I like to see Doom Eternal, 1080p, via Linux/wine to compare performance.

With Polaris 10 card.

@eliyahu

Thank you for your very informative A1222 demo. I am very impressed.

You answered all my questions about software, compatibily, sound, video and networking.

I was delighted to see PPaint, SketchBlock, DVplayer, Ignition, Odyssey and other programs running on your system.

Thanks,

@eliyahu

Very nice presentation and explanation of the A1222!

Very interesting, very nice presentation. thanks 😊

@eliyahu
I agree. The presentation was very nice. Well done.
