Sheepshaver (MacOS PPC 9): any coder interested?

@pjs

RoadShow is different, yes it might work, but does some one have that source code some where?

this one might work better but no source yet (googling)

http://aminet.net/package.php?package=comm/tcp/nullsana.lha

EDIT: apparently the author Jörg Rebenstorf is on facebook so someone with a facebook account might ask him for the source code (I dont have an account sorry)

Updated my blog.

Look nice, is a release soon ?

Soon maybe, just need to test some more, I be busy whit find a new job, so I don't know when, some things has to come first.

@LiveForIt
I just read your blog entry and that phrase make me wander:
Quote:

Did it mean there will be no quit button (i.e. gui part), or it mean that no one can even quit from emulator once he run it ?:)

You can still shutdown the Macintosh from the menu in MacOS7.

@LiveForIt
But still be in emulator ? I mean user can't just run it, play with, and quit from so nothing in memory ?

@Kas1e

Yes Shutdown works, I'm ONLY taking about the quit button.

The Quit button was never intended for nothing else then pull the plug on the emulator, when the emulator or MacOS had crashed, it was never a correct way to quit the emulator (actually there should have been a warning in 0.9, but I assumed people know better), the correct way was always to go to menu in MacOS and select shutdown from there.

@LiveForIt

I just starting the italian translation for the (GUI) emulator part, will send to you soon

That's fine, I have not written any program that supports more then one language, and I will need to know how to find out what language you're currently using in workbench.

Check PM

Great! look like the speed is more faster in cpu computing of a quadra 900.
For sure when it will be jit (if will possible have) the speed will be more faster of 68060

if you can make a speedometer test will be great

I had been prepared my 120 cd of mac 68k software for your basilisk mate

@tlosm

I see if can do some assembler optimizing, in the 8bit to 32bit conversion routine.

I think I can cut it down to at least 1/2 to 1/3 of the assembler instructions.

@tlosm

Don't think I can make it any faster, I think the speed now is limited to the CPU emulation, and so it's only JIT that can make it faster, I have not run the speedometer yet, because last time I tried it numbers where just crazy.

@LiveForIt

hehe ok 8)... on basilisk 0,9 speedometer gave me 0 i think your creazy is better than this result and make think me you make a wonderful job :)

@LiveForIt

i have similar cpu results on the RunInUae sysinfo (pegasos2) it like 030/40-50mhz.. I Think without a jit this is the best result for our cpus...
I dont know if you can make an altivec optimized core (and one generic) probably you will increase moore the performances for 30% moore.

In all the case it is a great result

@tlosm

I think your confusing mips or bingo mips whit mhz.

There is conversion table somewhere; it's not the same for different CPU types. On MC680x0 CPU etch 1 mhz equals 2 mips.

So you really have 20 to 25 Mhz (40 to 50 Mips.)

My AmigaOne XE report 33 BogoMips when you start it's about 16.5Mhz.

This means that you can play Amiga500 games fine, but not most AGA games.

Mac Centris is 610 is 20Mhz to 25Mhz computer.
