BTW: Basilisk II is pretty quick on my P1 166 MHz laptop, but Fusion PC is much faster (plus I can play Aperion which Basilisk II can't do.)
On faster PC's, Basilisk II becomes faster then Fusion PC.

More like on faster PC's that run Win 2000/XP.Mac Emu wrote:On faster PC's, Basilisk II becomes faster then Fusion PC.
Also, since the pentium-pro intel has dropped the real-mode code so they have to emulate - so basilisk works better because it's 32-bit compared to fusion which is 16-bit (emulation vs. emulation-in-emulation).

Are you sure? (about fusion) - it's protected mode?Mac Emu wrote:Fusion PC isn't 16-bit. It's 32-bit optimized assembly code that requires a 486 or higher.
PS: My P1 166 MHz laptop is running Windows 2000 (and Windows 98se).

Yes. About 5 years ago on the Fusion PC mailing list, Jim Drew discussed a little about the assembly code used in Fusion PC.
It uses a 32-bit DOS extender in order to run in protected mode under DOS. Thus it uses the extended registers like EAX, etc. in a FLAT memory model instead of the 16-bit registers like AX, etc. in a segmented model (which DOS uses). Fusion PC is also code optimized (by hand) for 486 and higher processors, so it will not run on anything earlier (whereas I imagine Basilisk II could run on a 386DX running Windows NT\9x).

It is slow, but not because a slow CPU, but because the lack of memory (2000 is really slow with 80mb, paging all the time).grayfox wrote:dam u got 2000 running on a 150mhz CPU that must be slowPPC_Digger wrote:Are you sure?
