[B2-devel] Sheepshaver news (week 43)

[Gwenole B. <gb...@di...>]

Hi,

* The PowerPC emulator can now use the predecode cache. Performance 
improved only by 75% on average. I will probably merge in new code that 
can work with lazy PC updating. However, this would slow down 
performance by 4% on average but this is necessary for upcoming native 
code translation so that we don't generate two sets of handlers when 
resorting to fallbacks.

* There is stil at least one little endian bug preventing SheepShaver 
from running on x86 at this time.

* There is still a generic bug preventing SheepShaver from booting with 
extensions on in emulated mode. i.e. it either hangs around 'CD00'  
resource with MacOS 8.1 or 'CD17' resource with MacOS 8.6.

Yes, development is slow because weekends are too short. ;-)

Bye,
Gwenole.
