Hmm, i tried it by myself - 10.4 DVD version, but on Core i7 3770S and Windows 7 64bit.
First boot after instalation took 4,5 minutes its too slow.. I have used qcow2 disk (using only real used space) format instead of raw one, i dont if it could have significant influence on speed.
What is strange that CPU usage for QEMU is small, around 15-25 percent, i looks like pure single threaded app. I can play Doom - 2016 during beside QEMU.
After first restart, im stuck on keyboard selection wizard, keyboard and mouse are working, i select U.S keyboard click on Continue and nothing is happened.
QEMU endless line: qemu-system-ppc-wip.exe -bios openbios-qemu-wip.elf -L pc-bios -boot c -g 1280x960x32 -m 1024 -M mac99p -prom-env "auto-boot?=true" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -net nic,model=sungem -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 -drive "file=HDD-System10-4.qcow2,media=disk,format=qcow2,index=1,copy-on-read=off" -usb -usbdevice mouse -usbdevice keyboard
I have tried it without usb mouse and keyboard parameters, it was the same? What about G3 parameter, in tutorial is mentioned, but in supplied bat it isnt?
What is better to use openbios-ppc or openbios-qemu-wip.elf for 10.4? Update: i tester openbios-ppc - i dont boot with it, at all, im stuck on initialization of graphics QEMU window, maybe i need to do complete reinstall with this bios?
Update1: I have reinstalled it with G3, but its same.. Select Your Keyboard, i select U.S click continue a nothing is happened, cursor is still working, i can go back in wizard and return to this screen, but there is still same.
qemu-system-ppc-wip.exe -bios openbios-qemu-wip.elf -L pc-bios -boot c -g 1280x960x32 -m 1024 -M mac99p -cpu G3 -prom-env "auto-boot?=true" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -net nic,model=sungem -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 -drive "file=HDD-System10-4.qcow2,media=disk,format=qcow2,index=1,copy-on-read=off"
Update2: It was network thing, when i removed network settings from QEMU start line, i could continue in Wizard. Can someone pleas check my network parameters? I tried to use what was in tutorial, but maybe i didnt get it right.
With this settings: -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 is network quite slow: 100 KB/s, is there some speed up solution?
Update: TAP networking - is way too much responsible, i think that even boot is now faster Speed: 450 KB/s - if is not Flash speed test testmy.net measuring it right
Good info, is probably that even G4 would work same way.
Summary: Its better than PearPC, because of: - internet is working - there is not keyboard bug when machine lost the focus - its not freezing, when i start some apps as Chess - GPU emulation looks better, is profiler right, 16 MB GPU is emulated
For gaming - no go, no sound
