MiDWaN@mntmn basic optimizations done - with measurable performance improvements.
Now let's see if we can use NEON instructions on key areas to push things further! :)
Lucie / minute@midwan noice! btw someone on community.mnt.re posted a few days ago about having made a scanlines feature
@mntmn I've just pushed 2 PRs regarding my changes (firmware and drivers).
But I am looking into one specific item that showed a regression, so I might update the drivers with a new commit depending on my findings.
Otherwise, tests showed a solid performance improvement across the board here! :)
Scalines is an interesting concept, I'll look into that next. For now, I wanted to focus on performance.
@midwan niiice, you made your own impl or based on the other person's work?
@midwan zooming in it looks more sophisticated than line repeating with lower luminance, do you do it in software on the ARM?
@mntmn I reached out to the author of the community post, he sent me what he had and I then adapted it to the latest firmware, and on top of my earlier performance updates. I had to write my own ZZScanlines tool because his version didn't work. And I also added this to the ZZTop tool (one is cli, one is GUI-based).
Gero Stein@mntmn added to the ZZTop tool as well. And fixed that annoying garbage character at the Core temp, to show the proper "degree" in AmigaOS :)
