`19.Aug.2014`	New poll: What do you think about WinUAE's PPC emulation and AmigaOS 4? WinUAE maintainer Toni Wilen has recently implemented a working emulation of Phase 5's PPC accelerator cards. The current version is just a proof of concept, but Wilen is already working on integrating the much faster CPU emulation core from QEMU to WinUAE. This brings up an interesting question, which is already debated all over the forums: what effect would a reasonable fast PPC emulation in Amiga emulators have on AmigaOS 4? With our latest poll, we would like to determine what our readers think about this issue - you can vote here or just view the results. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 19.

`17.Aug.2014` EAB (Forum)	WinUAE: Proof of concept for PowerPC emulation By its latest beta version, Toni Wilen enabled the Amiga emulator WinUAE 2.9.0 in principle to also emulate the Amiga PowerPC processor boards by phase 5 and run the "classic" flavor of AmigaOS 4. This proof of concept has been done intentionally utilizing the processor core of PearPC for a quick check of feasibility. Due to its incompleteness and bugs, the author has to change for QEMU now, though. He writes: "PearPC CPU emulator is a dead-end. Missing instructions, only partially emulated instructions, no support for integer overflows, division by zero, illegal instruction exceptions and so on... (Which means any buggy or badly behaving program can crash the emulator or hang or crash the emulated operating system.) It did its job, allowed easy and quick PPC emulation test. It would not have happened with any other more complex cores. It seems most compatible PPC CPU emulation is in QEMU. Dolphin only has experimental MMU support which is not supported in JIT modes. But QEMU is complex, very complex... What does this mean? It means all PPC CPU related bugs will be ignored until PPC CPU emulator core is replaced (timeframe: unknown); the only exception are bugs that didn't exist in beta version 10."
