Another new version: http://www.phlamethrower.co.uk/misc2/arcem-src.zip (Source) http://www.phlamethrower.co.uk/misc2/arcem.zip (RISC OS build)
* Added Chris's Amiga 64bit files fix * I'm not sure how much it will effect other platforms, but after a quick bit of profiling on RISC OS I found that about 40% of the total time was spent fetching/decoding instructions. The main problem looked to be the ARMul_LoadInstr function, which GCC had decided not to inline. Marking it as inline resulted in a overall performance boost of 18%! * I was also able to find a few other bits to tweak - I got rid of the 'pc' variable in the main loop and made it just use R15 directly, and I got rid of the practically unused 'pc' parameter which was being passed to the instruction emulation functions. With these tweaks applied, this new version runs about 25% faster than the previous one. I think the next thing on my list will be to have a go at optimising the 16bpp display driver. I suspect just adding support for the "auto updateflags" option will result in the performance gains I'm after.
