I think he's thinking that a 4.2GHz machine should be able to run VICE at 4200% (4200 * 1Mhz) or more, and he's not seeing anything near thatOn Thu, May 21, 2009 at 5:37 PM, Gil Winkler <kimmyland@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:No, actually I am talking about running it at 250fps, which is done through the multiplication factor option (200%, 100%, 50%, 20%, 10%, No limit, Custom) and also known as 'warp mode'....which brings it up to about 26MHz and almost to 55 when I deselect various options. Right....that is what I was talking about :) I am using the PET 4032 emulator and TRYING to run it faster than 5500% (Considering that I have 4.2Ghz at my disposal, this would mean, after accounting for the loss of speed through compilation and emulation that there should be somewhere about a 100x-fold loss of speed.) I am wondering if the software deliberately throttles VICE to top-out at somewhere around 60MHz or is the emulator so badly written that 4,200Mhz will only translate to 30MHz on VICE?I fail to understand your relation of VICE fps and Mhz of anything. I have a feeling you don't entirely understand what you're asking and neither do I.
I think 100x penalty is not bad for an emulator. Jim -- Jim Brain, Brain Innovations (X)brain@xxxxxxxxxx Dabbling in WWW, Embedded Systems, Old CBM computers, and Good Times! Home: http://www.jbrain.com
