Here on pistorm32 and rpi4 I don't get any slowdowns... it is the same as the youtube longplay video. Even when there are more enemies on the screen.

Pistorm32 Lite on A1200. RPi 3A+ I believe.

I'll check again when I get a chance but I'm sure it was this game.

That's a great milestone achieved!
Congratulations to Michal and all others involved!

New milestone: Wi-Fi, alpha version

https://www.patreon.com/posts/wi-fi-alpha-102261532

Some tidbits from the patreon post:

Speed limit: at the moment the maximum I get is ca. 42MBit download and 40MBit upload rate. There is still room for improvements, so stay tuned for updates.

Interrupts are not in use yet, but this is going to change in the near future too. At the moment I use polling with dynamic delays depending on current traffic. If you expect slow pings when network is idling - this is the reason.

Yes! I've been waiting for this! I wonder what speeds it can achieve!? Hoping it can somehow reduce latency to negligible and allow emulation of serial for true Amiga to Amiga wireless play

You have systems like kaillera that allow to transparently to play games over the internet, imagine if it was possible for amigas to also play over the internet

Exactly! They do not work other than on emulated Amigas like what FS-UAE achieved.

Breathe fella & focus!

*Sharp intake of breath*

Now just where did I put my CM4 2GB Wi-Fi ariel?

Kin limps off to look in a bag full of RPi bits & pieces....

I'm running the same CM4 without an antenna FWIW, and being able to browse aminet and turran ftp server inside a dopus 4 lister is revelatory

Sweet. What download speeds are you getting? - Mbit & Mb/Sec please.

About 120mbit/sec down, 100 up but that's connected to my phone, not my home wifi as my router can't do open wifi. As soon as WPA/WEP is implemented things should improve markedly.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Wi-Fi over Ethernet & perhaps just down to always wanting to be a hard-wired kind of guy. Wireless has always sucked for me ....That's down to being an avid 3D Shooter on the PeeCee I guess....

Still having issues getting on via my phone though....

Wirelessmanager always says it "failed to initialise driver interface"?

Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled & Hotspot name is in Envarc:Sys/wireless.prefs file as:

ssid="XT1580 9644"
Key_mgmt=NONE
scan_ssid=1

Have also tried without scan_ssid & the phone set to "Not hiding my device.

Using registered Roadshow 1.5 which I can configure via PCMCIA adapter with no issues, so now at a bit of a loss here!

My Hotspot on the phone does have a Password though. - Is that my issue maybe??

I've tried using this on a CaffeineOS 927 which has all the software installed to change the Wireless Lan settings.... Still no dice?

[Dunny]

Yeah it needs to be an open network, no password as WPA/WEP isn't implemented just yet.

[Kin Hell]

Yep, I set phone security to None and still no go?

Is there a way to list Mac address for wi-fi on CM4 module? - I could add the Mac address on the phone then....

Phone is set to Extend Compatibility which enables 2.4Ghz Hotspot.

Roadshow is not connecting via Static settings that do work with a PCMCIA hard wired adapter, so guessing wirelessmanager isn't managing a damned thing....

So, this is a bit of a weird question, but still for me a relevant one: can you set the PiStorm to slow down to approximately the speed of older accelerators if you desire? It would be a really neat feature to be able to test code and see if it runs properly on a 68030@50MHz for instance.

I can fully understand if this is out of scope for the project and it's a great accelerator regardless, but I was just wondering if something like this is possible

You can underclock the pi, which makes it run slower and thus you can (maybe - I haven't tried this myself) approximate the speed of a 030@50MHz. But that doesn't mean your code will run the same (or at all) on an actual 030@50MHz.

[roondar]

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

Same thing

If you get this, it means the driver can't be opened, so it's not a problem with the network configuration. Have you installed both the driver and firmware files?
