I replaced Pentium 4 2.0A (FSB 400) with Pentium 4 2.4C (FSB 800 with Hyper-Threading Technology)

And I tested it with Windows XP.

On Pentium 4 2.0A without HT, Maximum Emulation Speed didn't be over than 1000% (35.7MHz)

On Pentium 4 Celeron 2.4A without HT, Also Maximum Emulation Speed is nearly same as on Pentium 4 2.0A.

But with Pentium 4 2.4C with HT, Its perfomance is very excellent.

The occupation of CPU usage is nearly 0.1% with 35.7MHz option.

Maybe BlueMSX is optimized with HT CPU well.

So it is very fast than other emulator.

I wanted to get more speed on blueMSX. (over 10x)

But anyway, it is very fast emulator on windows than other emulator.

NLMSX is also quite a fast emulator... But hey, isn't it remarkable that we need a ~GHz PC to emulate an 'old' and 'outdated' 'slow' computer system?

NLSX can't be implemented 1000% of original MSX speed on 2.4C

maybe the famous FMSX the original one that runs on a 486!!!!

i gues, can run at 10.000% !!!!

ahh, nop, the BrMSX is the faster of all!!!

in a P1 200mhz, the speed is several times faster than the original msx speed.

lol ... Nah, gimme a real MSX

I think openMSX is the top noch of them all.. Has a nice speed, and emulates quite accurate..

For the sound I use blueMSX atm though... My SoundblasterLive + Xp is somewhat off in openMSX

But MultiThreating rulez in a way.. Running an Emul only costs me 0.1% cpu atm

fs5500 is comparing apples and oranges ^^;
On IRC he's also famous for making these kinds of statements... :\

What do you want to talk about?

I have a question, What is IRC?

I've never gone to IRC.

That's right.

I talked about "BlueMSX is very fast emulator on Windows with Pentium 4 (with Hyper-Threading Technology)" , not very best emulator or not fast emulator on other platform.

Without HT, maybe BlueMSX won't be fast than other emulator.

But with HT, BlueMSX is very fast.

I tested many of MSX emulator on HT optimized CPU.

Maybe there is why blueMSX is optimized for HT CPU.

I can understand that blueMSX runs quite well on a HT CPU. The execution is splitted into two threads that does about the same amount of work. One thread is doing the emulation part and the other does video related tasks.

This design was not made with HT in mind but to get higher priority to the emulation and audio compared to video. Even though there are other emulators that runs faster on a non HT CPU (NLMSX and BRMSX are two very good examples) blueMSX runs fairly well on a slower PC (it depends a bit on the hardware configuration as I know some users experience problems on slower PCs). Especially the emulation part and audio runs smooth at quite slow PC (but then of course the video part suffers).

Well, BlueMSX doesn't run 'fairly well' on my Pentium III 600MMX, while NLMSX does the trick even in Turbo R mode (with scanlines enabled, that is )

In my last post I just explained why the design is the way it is and as I said, blueMSX does not work good on all slow PCs. I have no problem running for example bombaman with moonsound and TV emulation on both my 600MHz PIII's while I can't run any moonsound games/demos with NLMSX on these PCs. I know that both NLMSX and BRMSX are less CPU intesive than blueMSX and I'm not trying to argue about that. PCs are quite different and I'm not supprised that blueMSX has problems on some of them.

Liar!

Maybe I should post the logs of the time when you changed nicknames and seriously pretended to not know Quibus in order to infiltrate in the openMSX team, just after you started a propaganda war against it.

Internet Relay Chat.. But I think you already know that...

*sigh* People, please... Peace, love, and J-War running naked through a field of flowers... okay?
