[SAM460LE] SDL issues

[MazinKaesar]

I found a lot of issue on applications using SDL.

All emulators using SDL are very slow, per example to emulate C64 I am using the vice_old package I found on OS4Depot as the newewr version are too slow. I can't use any SNES of Sega Megadrive emulators - and I remember on SAM440 they were running fine.

Also, when I had the SAM440 I created a package for all Baldud's Gate-similar games using GemRB, and the packages are not working on 460, even using the newer GemRB version I get an error about "missing SDL 1.2" even if the libraries seems installed.

I am using a fresh installed OS4.1 FE with all updates and additional packages from AmiStore - there are just some missing pieces in SDL installation or on SAM460 the SDL libraries are not fully supported?

Which version of SDL do you have?
my is libSDL-1.2.so, version SDL1_2_13 1.4
It is not in libs: but in Sobjs:

And what graphics card do you have?

For me SDL1 works fast enough ( according to Sam460LE speed ) with HD6870:
1941: 120 FPS
( my Sam440ep-flex 733MHz has 62 FPS with Radeon 9250 PCI, 64 FPS with Radeon 9000 Pro AGP and and 37 FPS with Radeon R9 270X PCIe + bridge )
Test is with HunoPPC game 1941, number of FPS if you cross shore of first small island. Fulscreen mode, default resolution, Enable FPS, Unlimited FPS.
I had much worse result with Sam460LE + RX580 card - only 60 FPS. But I cannot repeat this test, because RX580 is now inside my A1222+.

Unfortunatelly, I cannot test Baldurs Gate. I have no original files.
If you have some measured FPS from some os4depot apllication, let me know and I can test it here.

I think SAM460LE is not so supported by OS4.1 - I think I will buy an X5000 (not so soon).

GemRB, both old and version, report a missing library - but the library exists! And sometimes they works anyway.

Sam46LE should absolutely be supported by OS4.1 - it wouldn't make much sense to build it if it wasn't.

Maybe there are some specific issues with SDL and the 460LE? I wouldn't know, but the people who are porting SDL are usually posting over at amigans.net, so you could try asking there.

That said, an X5000 is definitely also a good choice, but - as you are aware, I guess - much more expensive.

Best regards,

I am trying to find help on Amigans.net - if I will receive feedback I will report here.

So far, thank you.
