Amiga Emulator Ppc

Amiga Emulator Ppc

  • The Amiga CD 32 is a 32 bit home video game console developed and released by Commodore in 1993. It was based on Commodore’s Advanced Graphics Architecture chipset, and is of similar specification to the Amiga 1200 computer but with additional Akiko chip. The Amiga CD 32 started very well and 100,000+ units of it were sold in Europe alone.
  • Toni Wilen has once again released another WinUAE beta for the Amiga/PC community and this time it's WinUAE 2.9.0 beta 17 which further improves the PPC support. I'm sure we can't be far away from a final version of this great Amiga emulator but as usual see the changelog for fix details and download links.
  • Although my childhood games were played on an Acorn, many of the same games were released for the Amiga, and emulators allow us to play these games on modern computers. Tonight, I replayed, and completed Mad Professor Moriarti, and here is how I did it. First I downloaded and installed WinUAE, an Amiga Emulator. Download using this link.
  • Accurate Amiga Emulation. FS-UAE integrates the most accurate Amiga emulation code available from WinUAE.FS-UAE emulates A500, A500+, A600, A1200, A1000, A3000 and A4000 models, but you can tweak the hardware configuration and create customized Amigas.

In this article we have introduced you to the fourth PowerPC option for Amiga for users with MediatorPCI upgrade from Elbox.

First is the phase 5 cards, then it’s the AmigaOne series, Pegasos PowerPC series and Sonnet PowerPC support which is unofficial. The creator of this library is making nice progress and now his news even hit the media outside of the Amigaworld like HotHardware.

PowerPC Library Maker Dennis Boon gives bigbox Amiga machines more power

The SonnetAmiga project by Dennis Boon, makes it possible to use PowerPC-based PCI cards as accelerator board for WarpOS programs in the Amiga. You need to get yourself a MediatorPCI expansion. So, this is only a bigbox Amiga solution.

Akiko is a CD32 and CDTV emulator for Windows®. It runs with the help of a CD32/CDTV adapted version of WinUAE and with the help of the Install2001 system which was also used in the Amiga version of the CD32 Games Install Kit. The CD32 is a 32 bit game console which was manufactured and released by Commodore in late 1993.

Including the Sonnet Crescendo 7200 included, already five PCI cards are supported with PowerPC.library

MediatorPCI PowerPC Library cards support

  • Sonnet G3/G4 with max. 192 MB
  • Rapture G4 7410@450 MHz with 256 MB
  • Apocalypse G4 7410@450 MHz with 256 MB
  • Ragnarok G3 750FX@800 MHz with 256 MB
  • BigFoot Killer NIC M1 e300@400 MHz with 64 MB

Amiga Enthusiast Gets Quake Running On Killer NIC PowerPC CPU Core

At HotHardware site they write about Quake possibilities with this PowerPC PCI Support for AmigaOS. This option gives access to the PowerPC thru WarpOS. It is still in beta. However, it is nice of media outside of the Amigaworld to notice that Amiga’s can play Quake. But! The true fact is that todays nextgen Amiga home computers is capable of playing Quake too.

Also every classic Amiga that is equipped with CyberstormPPC or BlizzardPPC cards is also capable of playing Quake.

Get Amiga PowerPC Quake boost for just 30 Euros is Excellent Amiga News

In our article about the Sonnet cards, we concluded that the price for one can be a bit high. But one PowerPC PCI solution does actually sticks out.

The name of it is the BigFoot Killer INC card. This PCI PowerPC one can boost your Amiga experience with MediatorPCI installed for only 30 Euros. It should be the cheapest PowerPC extension for the Amiga, which amiganews.de reports here.

The BigFoot Killer INC is actually not a CPU card itself, but it is sold as a network card. It does however include a PowerPC processor. It uses MPC8343E and it is said that Quake runs twice as fast as on a CyberStorm PPC.

So. If you do have a MediatorPCI card expansion upgrade from Elbox installed. You can get this card or any other PowerPC card that is reported to work with PowerPC.library !

68080 FPGA accelerator cards for Commodore Amiga computers can also run Quake

The new Vampire 68080 accelerator cards for classic Amiga is also able to play Quake. In fact 68080 is now capable of running Quake at 32FPS in lowest screenmode. This will improve as the Apollo Team improves the speed of the FPGA.
