All ARM Amiga emulators (based on cutdown/modified UAE) are inaccurate and exhibit glitches to various degrees which in some cases can be ok but in others a degraded experience and very far from the real thing.
If fidelity is what you're after, go for WinUAE (THE reference in software emulation) or get a MiSTer (assuming that you don't want to get an actual Amiga).
- mumblemumble 5y agoIs this for some fundamental reason, or is it just that they're lacking polish because they've seen less development effort so far?
- creamytaco 5y agoPerformance, there's not enough juice to be as accurate as WinUAE. Also, running on top of Linux is worse than Windows since things like lagless beam racing vsync that are needed for perfect/smooth 50fps are (in practice, taking into account drivers, X and so on) very hard to impossible on Linux.
- dm319 5y agoDo any emulators parallelise and emulate the individual custon chips? One thing about the Amiga was how smooth the double buffering was.
- creamytaco 5y agoAll emulators emulate the custom chips, to varying degrees of accuracy depending on emulator and available CPU power. Cycle-exact Amiga emulation is very CPU intensive. There is no parallelization.
