[QUESTION] Will we see PPC support in FS-UAE too?
Hi Frode,
since Toni Wilen have finally insert PPC emulation core in WinUAE, will we see this feature also in FS-UAE?! This would be a huge milestone for the emulation community on alternate platforms! http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=226 Last edited by amigafreak68k; 08 August 2014 at 16:44. |

Well, it compiles and links now on all platforms I haven't tested it though, because I don't even know how PPC stuff on Amiga is supposed be used (and I haven't checked)
Probably too tired for a dev release tonight, but 2.5.9dev should be ready fairly soon. |

Actually, I probably should test it...
@amigafreak68k If you have time and opportunity to test with WinUAE (latest official beta), and write down step by step (incl needed configuration and needed files) to verify that the PPC stuff works, that would save me some time |

Quick and easy test is to download ppctest.dms from here http://powerup.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=24 and see if both tests pass or system hangs or crashes.
Only WarpOS test works if code is based on beta 9. |

In FS-UAE the following settings must set:
uae_cpu_model = 68060 uae_cpu_type = 68040 uae_fpu_model = 68060 uae_cpuboard_type = CyberstormPPC uae_cpuboardmem1_size = 128 Additionally we need to specify the path to the cyberstormppc.rom file, which is automatically recognized in WinUAE... |

Yep, WarpOS test OK (after getting the cyberstormppc rom loaded and configured cpuboard memory correctly).
FS-UAE actually crashed when starting with cpuboard enabled but no cpuboard memory configured. I can debug that, but perhaps best to wait until updated WinUAE code is available, so I don't debug/hack on possibly "old" code |

It makes no sense to have a PPC board without RAM

Some config examples:
Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1230 MK IV, 64MB Fast RAM and SCSI Kit Code:
uae_cpu_model = 68030 cpuboard_flash_file = /path/to/accelerator/rom/file/Blizzard1230.rom uae_cpuboard_ext_rom_file = /path/to/accelerator/scsi/rom/file/Blizzard_SCSI_Kit.bin uae_cpuboard_type = Blizzard1230IV+SCSI uae_cpuboardmem1_size = 64 uae_fpu_model = 68882 uae_mmu_model = 68030 Amiga 4000 with Cyberstorm PPC/060, 128 MB Fast RAM and Commodore SCSI Controller 4091 (just for fun) Code:
cpuboard_flash_file = /path/to/accelerator/rom/file/cyberstormppc.rom uae_a4091_rom_file = /path/to/commo/scsi/rom/amiga-boot-a4091.rom uae_cpu_model = 68060 uae_cpuboard_type = CyberStormPPC uae_cpuboardmem1_size = 128 uae_cputype = 68040 uae_fpu_model = 68060 uae_mmu_model = 68060 uae_scsi_a4091 = true |

Just to know:
by pressing ESC key at boot up, there is an boot menu for CyberstormMKIII/PPC and BlizzardPPC. But I dont know if any setting have an effect at this time... |

I'm afraid I don't have the cyberstormppc.rom file, only the blizzpc040.rom file that I obtained from the Zone. But I assume asking for it is not allowed, just like Kickstart ROMS are not allowed to be asked for?
