Hi all,
I've also tried the precompiled solution on two Macs:
a) an iMac G4 1GHz running 10.4.
b) a Dell Mini 9 (Intel Atom) running 10.5
On the PPC machine, I saw slight video corruption, and the app. was
liable to lock-up (particularly with HostFS).
On the Intel machine, it was much better.

When I had not put the RAM up to 128 M and not set the CPU to ARM710 I
got this error:
RPC Emu c0.8.2
Bad opcode 12 D12D0303 at 21D0804
And a click on OK led to a complete crash of RPCemu
But once I put in 128M of RAM and switch to ARM710, all was well.
I managed to get a similar issue on an Intel machine, so I'll try
your plan out.
Neither dynamic recompilation nor networking are supported.
I don't know what Dynamic recompilations does and the lack of
networking
is a bit of a bummer for me.
I believe 'dynamic recompilation' refers to a speed-up technique, common
when emulating different processors. Instead of the ARM instructions
being translated into native code every time, the native code is cached.
Therefore, when that bit of ARM code is required again, the pre-
converted
native code can be used. I'm sure there is a much better way of
explaining
it!
I've got no desire for networking at the moment.
Many thanks for this implementation: is shows real progress and
enormous
promise.
I agree. It's almost as slick as ArcEm (which has a nice Mac interface,
but only emulates an A5000-era machine, and not terribly quickly).
It certainly shows what can be done, and might even compete with
VirtualAcorn
one day.
Cheers,
Richard.
