Remove any P96 or CGX drivers from Devs:Monitors for doing benchmarks because these drivers patch the graphics.library (with or without gfx card installed)

My benchmarks (AGA Blizzard 1260@80) :

Wow

I just came across this thread. Excellent work, thank you!!!

I am going to test your work and get back to you.

@Cosmos
How does compressing with xpkMASH give a speedup?

Cosmos · 18 March 2010, 06:16

No speedup with compression but 2782 bytes saved in Rom !

I'm looking for a divu64 routine please...

phx · 18 March 2010, 11:38

64/64 or 64/32?
Which target CPU? 68000, 68020, 68060?

Cosmos · 18 March 2010, 12:07

64/64

Give me for 68000, 020 and 060... Maybe usefull...

phx · 18 March 2010, 12:35

__divuint64/_020/_060 is the main function. The other files are dependencies. It's from my vclib source. Maybe they are not perfectly optimized, but they do work.

Cosmos · 18 March 2010, 16:44

Thanks !

Mcp v1.48 have the patch R_RectFill (QuickDraw) : how to activate ?
Not working here (and with the older versions too)

Who know the author of Mcp ?

I forgot to mention that Dieter is very busy with his real life work. At least for this time mcp development is freezed. Maybe a private email has more success.

BTW. Do you had already a look at SystemPatch?!

NovaCoder · 19 March 2010, 22:25

Cool work Cosmos

How about getting this stuff added to the BB3 project?

gulliver · 20 March 2010, 00:55

BB4 project you mean

http://lilliput.host-cafe.com/bbag4.htm

And yes I was thinking on that since Cosmos first post!
But still I cant find enough time to test this cool library yet!

I hope I maybe able to do so soon.

By the way, does it work with AGA amigas with no problem?

Cosmos · 20 March 2010, 04:34

The ECS/OCS version was compiled with -m68000, the AGA and the CD32 with -m68020... So these libraries are not equal !

With disassembling, I saw that the table in R_GetColorMap is not the same, so I've added a chipset detection, but only for this function !

Cosmos · 21 March 2010, 11:04

Someone know Dale Luck for asking him about more changes made in the AGA graphics.library ?

gulliver · 21 March 2010, 17:53

So basically Commodore just added AGA, but didnt really take the time to optimize the Operating System to take full advantage of it. They simply upgraded it the minimum they had to support it.

Low priority? Coding in a hurry? Other?

We may never know

gulliver · 21 March 2010, 18:06

About Dale Luck:

He is currently at Roku (www.roku.com), where he is working as Senior Software Engineer. and can be reached thru LinkedIn.

I hope you may reach him, and find something usefull or at least an interesting anecdote.

Good luck!

pmc · 21 March 2010, 18:10

I'm not sure but wasn't Dale Luck long gone from Commodore or any projects involving the Amiga by the time they got to AGA...?
