Request: New Aga Features, if possible..
 

Is it possible to add to Winuae an options that Allou to cpu to access to chip-ram every possible cicles instead only every cicles?

Why? 68020+ CPU emulation isn't accurate enough anyway so this wouldn't really match what would happen in real world. Even if it existed in real world.

I know that real Aga dont have It. It could be interesting to see impact on CPU performances on vanilla aga

Just throw in some FastRAM and you'll see how it is to have access every cycle. And if you want fast graphics tick Immediate Blitter and/or untick cycle-exact.

Thanks for the tips

CPU chipset access always takes 2 DMA cycles. AGA CPU cycle access timing has not changed from OCS/ECS. Unfortunately. Only big difference is that AGA (and A3000) chip ram is 32-bit wide and long aligned 32-bit read or write is as fast as 16-bit read/write.

Writes are slightly faster because after chipset (budgie) has latched the data, CPU is free to continue in next CPU cycle.

Thats' why asked if it is possible "to fix" it into winuae, to taste how could have been AGA
with good Chip-Ram access.

I think Toni is more keen on making WinUAE more exact like the real world, adding Frankenstein options is always going to lead to problems and to be honest, who needs people finding issues with the Frankenstein options when you are trying to be exact :)

That why i asked, of possible

Last I heard, emulation of computer systems was about recreating physical hardware in software as it is, not as it could (or should) be. Otherwise, compatibility with real hardware collapses utterly.

Obviously it's Toni's baby and he does what he likes with it but on a selfish point of view, being that it's free and done in his own time I'd love to see the correctness worked on rather than 'what if' type things.

No disrespect sandruzzo, but as its down to Toni, who knows... :)

:great

I have wondered whether one of the UAE/WinUAE emulators could be used to implement systems that never existed like the post-commodore AA+ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_AA%2B_Chipset) systems.

It'd be pointless, and not something that I'd ask you to do Toni ;)
More of an exercise in what-could-have-been and fantasy.

There's emulators for consoles that never existed or virtual machines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP-8) so it's not without precedent.

I am still not sure if I want to implement it but if it happens, it will be unsupported config file option that can break any time..

Only if software exists that is (almost) proven to work with that hardware. It is 100% requirement.

I can't imagine there's any real software bar alpha's at best...
