Heaven/TQA Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Guys, i have atari8001.2.2 for my Ipaq 3630... it seems not able to catch 100% of the frame rate... is there any alternative which will be able to get fullspeed on the ipaq? thanks.

Tezz Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I've tried a few of the mobile versions of the emulation on various platforms, I don't think that any of the devices have the CPU power to achieve 100% yet especially with the usual ported C code. I've not tried the latest models of Ipaq myself though. I know that the C64 emulation is pretty accurate on the Ipaqs although they too state that many of the more taxing operations will not be accurate. So I guess unless someone codes in 100% the language of the devices from scratch or some very good optimisation of the code, we will have to wait for faster CPUs.

sack-c0s Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 ..and can I have some good tools for MAC OS X for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'd be interested in seeing how this runs on the new wave of 624MHZ PocketPCs coming out with the Intel graphics chipset. I would certainly hope that THAT would be fast enough for 100% emulation. It certainly would be with a PIII 600 and a halfway decent gfx card, right?

pps Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi Heaven, try out version 1.30 for win ce available at atari 800 sourceforge site. My Typhoon (400 MHz) runs most times 100% but the emulation speeds up if it runs for a while... maybe the emulator is set to 60 Hz and it runs then right - there is no setting for framerate in the menu - have to chek the cnf-file sometimes...

SmileyDude Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 in theory, the XScale based PPCs should be more than fast enough. The ARM CPU is very capable of emulating the 6502 -- the GBA with it's 16mhz ARM can pull off emulating a NES at full speed. But, the problem is that nobody seems to want to spend the time in writing a custom emulator for the hardware. It's much "easier" to simply recompile an existing emulator and toss on a quick GUI than it is to write a new emulator from the ground up. BTW -- what is the typical screen resolution on a PPC device? Can the whole Atari display be shown without any scaling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
