English Amiga Board - View Single Post - FS-UAE 3.X on Raspberry Pi 3/4

Im running 2.8.4 on a Pi4 straight from the raspbian/buster repo
apt install fs-uae fs-uae-launcher

Performance is quite good in general use/ windowed mode- emulating a 1200 (low accuracy) with 8mb fast ram and using a HDF.
The pi struggles to keep up with AGA demos- im testing Nexus7 whdload version which is pushing from 90% cpu load to 140% single core, causing big slowdowns.
Due to the single core use the PI is sitting around 77C, so no thermal throttling is kicking in.
Interestingly, increasing the window size or going full screen 1080 increases the cpu load, I was hoping the GL driver would be offloading the scaling to the videocore and not affecting performance in any way.
