Hey, that's what beta-testers are for. You think I want to go through the trouble of testing every single little thing that MIGHT go wrong?  ;D

So if you're gonna use your beta-testers like that, you'd BETTER have a sense of humor.  8)

i like you already Willy!!!  be warned, my testing tends to involve doing stuff that others wouldnt! (like the r.i.s.s)

im sure the more "normal" beta-testers will make themselves available to find a few incompatible adfs and the like!!

Well, the first order of business (which I'm working on now) is a fresh, clean update using the latest E-UAE. The old code is good, but a real mess. The new code will be a "normal" platform for E-UAE like the others. That will make it easier to maintain later on down the road... which is why I'm here in the first place - the old code couldn't be moved into the latest E-UAE as it was. I'm using parts of the old code when I can so that I don't have to write all the code from scratch.

After that, optimizations can be made. Clearly, we want to use the ME if possible. Having two CPUs working on the code would be faster than one, but you have to divide up the work properly or it won't be as big a help as you would expect. Another optimization would be to use assembly for certain things. The GP2X has a bunch of that, but then it needs it as it uses slower processors.

Anemos, think you misunderstood. He is going to use the PSPUAE source code where possible, to save him writing code from scratch.

Yeah, that was the last sentence of my first paragraph.   ;)

I try not to reinvent the wheel when I can help it.  ;D
