The Graffiti is perfectly capable of working on EGA graphics cards, or on a Commodore 128D (or C128 with the 64k video ram expansion). Anything that has pixel-addressable 70ns RGBI modes. |

That version is very out of date though. e-uae 0.8.29-3 is the latest. On Amithlon using a core2duo@4.3ghz, which emulates an '040 at speeds of about a 4ghz '040 I get roughly 50mhz '030 type speeds when using 360x288x24 resolution (68k uae seems to scale unusually close to proportionately to resolution (ie. a 720x576x24 p96 screenmode is very, very close to stock a1200 speed)). Earlier when I was saying a pistorm should be able to run aga stuff at about the speed of a stock a1200 I didnt pluck that out of a hat It was based on about a decade of experience using 68k uae on various specced hardware. On a 320x256x24 p96 screenmode it'd run very much in the ballpark of a stock a1200 on a pistorm (I created p96 modes equivalent to every custom chipset mode along with modes equivalent to max overscan modes, which is why I mentioned 360x288x24 above).

Someone with a PiStorm should be able to test this. Any takers? |

Nobody has a machine capable of running WinUAE, that's just nonsense talk of the ablecentrist.

Upon AGA program code detection, PiStorm/RPi 3a (or RPI Zero 2W) takes over Amiga chipset workload processing, but the physical Amiga chipset has connections to Amiga's user input ports. PiStorm is just an adapter between the 68000 DIP socket and 40 pins GPIO from RPi 3a (or RPI Zero 2W). PiStorm is useless without the standalone RPi 3a (or RPI Zero 2W). RPi 3a can operate without the Amiga hardware. Emu68-Raspi build will boot without the Amiga hardware, hence it's effectively DraCo. Emu68-PiStorm build is with the Amiga hardware. Amiga 500 can provide power for RPi 3a with ARM Linux installation. You are wrong with "not RPi" when Emu68 (which provides services such as emulated 68K CPU, virtual P96 RTG card, virtual SCSI, custom 68040.library) is running on RPi. Quote:

Unlike AMD GCN, the Amiga chipset wasn't designed with a command buffer pipeline to handle multiple context sequences and lacks virtual memory address functions. There are many Xbox One/PS4 GCN non-compute functions that are missing on the Amiga chipset. ----------------- PiStorm is just an adaptor board for standalone RPI 3a or RPI Zero 2W. Emu68 and UAE performance is dependent on RPI 3a or RPI Zero 2W. Last edited by hammer; 25 September 2022 at 09:55. |

Graffiti's 3rd party software support is less than AGA. |

You bring up a good point though. It pisses me off to see the PiStorm being touted as an ultra low-cost solution that you can get for as little as $13. In reality they cost a lot more than that, and of course to complete the device you need an RPi as well. Reminds me of the old joke about 'Instant Water' - just add water! Quote:

It will be interesting to see how compatible 'AGA-capable Denise/Agnus' is in practice. How many AGA titles expect to see at least a 14MHz 020 as well? If the price is reasonable I will definitely look at buying one when they become available. |

I dont get your confusion. Surely the thread topic/title makes it abundantly clear? |

Enter PiStorm, which claims to be much faster than any real Amiga. The only question is - what will the actual performance be in this configuration? Anybody with a PiStorm should easily be able to tell us... |

That does not make too much sense. AGA graphics is only planar, with up to 8 bitplanes. RTG graphics can do planar, but only up to 4 planes, or chunky. Thus, emulating AGA with RTG would either limit you to 4 bitplanes (which does not make much sense) or an always running, costly planar to chunky conversion. Also, for emulating the copper, RTG would need to run in true-color or hi-color mode to offer sufficient colors, IOWs, even more conversions needed.

Whoops! It wasn't that complicated...

I'm wondering though: apart from that reason, when can EUAE be useful? |

For OP's question, Emu68's author needs to copy FireBird V4's workload division between FPGA AGA (graphics and sound) and native Amiga input and floppy controller pathways. Both FireBird V4 and Emu68/PiStorm interface the 68000 DIP socket. [ Show youtube player ] FireBird V4's FPGA AGA features for Amiga 500. At this point, Amiga 500 is reduced as a user input device. FireBird v4's FPGA AGA feature takes over Amiga 500's chipset's graphics and sound roles during boot up. [ Show youtube player ] This video demonstrates an Amiga 500 emulated using Amiberry with USB PC Floppy Drive modified with a Rob Smith Arduino and booting Workbench and Games (Buggy Boy demonstrated in video). I can do the same something with a Ryzen U series laptop with HDMI FreeSync (targeting 50 hz PAL). Quote:
I brought my preconfigured PiStorm Rev B Max II/boxed RPI 3a/32 GB microSD for about $105 USD ($162 AUD) from Poland. Quote:
