Modded display drivers for Limbo PC emulator (QEMU)
I was running Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma) in Limbo PC Emulator (PPC) version 2.11.0. It's not the latest one but it's the one that runs the Mac OS X environment faster. So I was finding a modded qemu_vga.ndrv (with either 1280x720 and/or 1280x800 on it). Please help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
Re: Modded display drivers for Limbo PC emulator (QEMU)
What do you mean faster? For just about all cases, newer versions of QEMU contain improvements to the JIT engine which result in better performance compared to older versions. Can you give more specific information about the versions you have tested, how you have measured the performance, and an approximation of the slowdown that you are seeing?Lucss21a wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 2:12 pm I was running Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma) in Limbo PC Emulator (PPC) version 2.11.0.

I meant the boot times, in my experience, 5.1.0 boots Mac OS X like forever. 2.11.0 boots it around 40 minutes to an hourmcayland wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 10:42 pmWhat do you mean faster?

Hmmm 5.1 was the first release that used auto TB-sizing which perhaps doesn't work so well in a restricted Android environment (presumably ARM host?). What happens if you add
Code: Select all
-accel tcg,tb-size=128
Some searching on the web suggests that Limbo isn't being supported anymore, which is likely to make further investigation hard.

Limbo was recently updated by around 2021, altough unconfirmed if the original dev returned back on development. So I need a modded driver or some tutorial.mcayland wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 10:35 pmHmmm 5.1 was the first release that used auto TB-sizing which perhaps doesn't work so well in a restricted Android environment (presumably ARM host?).

Re: Modded display drivers for Limbo PC emulator (QEMU)
I've been running up to Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Limbo PPC 6.0.0 and I'm not sure why your boot times would be so slow because mine really aren't. as for custom resolutions, have you tried simply adding -g 1280x800x32 to Limbo? That does the job perfectly for me.Lucss21a wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 2:12 pm I was running Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma) in Limbo PC Emulator (PPC) version 2.11.0.
