It needs a fair bit of tweaking, just wanted to get something together. Still needs audio runoff fixed. When you enter menu, main UAE cpu stops, the paula (now on ME) continues running its buffer. So you still hear around a second of sound.

Paused while I finish JIT. I want every feature going to be used working before continuing menu.
Fixed inputs, added cdstack, added stubbed menu (well some things work, like reset, quit etc etc).

Just working on last part of JIT (said that so many times before, ),

Well my test worked. Took Beta 4 which was already fast and added new wip4 gfx backend to it and bang. Everything I tried was near full speed.

Another world intro was very slow. If I recall only rendered 6 frames. Now renders 46 to 50 frames. Lotus, lotus 2, apidya play insanely well. Very smooth.

Think, I will throw beta 26 audio / mp3 player into and it will be awesome.

Its that fast I need to re-enable fps cap as some things are running at 60 to 70 fps.

Since last post, been spending all my time, trying to track it down. Ripped my source apart.
Still no answer. I then thought, I would try old releases, 0.72, exactly same issue, so that ruled out source, compiler and toolchain.

I then tried it on my old fateful day one phat. Low and behold everything ran flawless, not one pause. So something is causing issue in later models.
I now have a half done wip4 and wip3 (which includes full scsi emulation for CDROM). If I can nail this pause issue with later models, I will go back to working on wip4. I will be trying to alter firmware tonight. Maybe ARK-5 is causing issue with later models.Read More

Well after all that work. Turns out debug enviroment masks loads of issues.
To top it all off, Im at the point where I can actually run it outside the dev enviroment and its not great.

I never noticed major bug until then. Basically, emu pauses for 20 or 30 seconds randomly.
I have no clue where to look, checked everything I think could cause it. Logs are always clean, never logs anything except its running clean.

I have gone back to where I first added GFX and issue is there also, so it can only be an issue in E-UAE source that screws with PSP.Read More
