@gklka Ha azt vesszük h. mennyiért van kilóra használt Intel PC, amin már több mint bazigyors az UAE, és mennyi van belőle, akkor ez sem meglepő...De amúgy igazad van. 😅
@gklka Nem biztos... Szerintem van valami UAE ARM JIT általánosságban, amit a Raspberry Pi-s "retro géming" UAE variánsok használnak. Csak backportolni kéne. Meg hát ott a Windows for ARM maszlag is, hátha az is olyan h. motivál valakit.
@gklka Fasza! Amúgy WINE-nal megy a Windowsos is elég jól, még M-es gépeken is. A legnagyobb gyász még mindig a JIT emu, ami x86/x86_64-en még mindig jobban megy mint bárhol máshol.
@gklka @neongod You mean "bad UX experience will continue until user attitude improves"?

@root42 What kind of hardware it runs on here? It was really smooth on my Cyrix 486DX4/120 with a PCI S3 + GUS. Allegedly, a 486SX would be enough for it?

And here is the official video response from Robin of 8-Bit Show.& Tell, who was referenced in The 8-Bit Guy's video.

Slightly different approaches to table generation, lots of speedup, largely the same conclusion. Good stuff.

@mespique It's funny how this two year old post is now taking rounds, because this year's edition of 68k Inside happened this weekend. 😅

Anyway, I'll just let Finnish 🇫🇮 people decide what's cold, they're the experts. 🙃

@GreaseMonkey I got a 7 seconds (446 ticks) version... 😅 (3 seconds or 217 ticks w/o the stupid "progress bar"). This one is already full of CBM BASIC tricks, where the rule seems to be - the fuglier the code is, the faster it gets. Anyway, I guess this is enough for now... I still learned a lot from your version, so thanks again!
@chainq ...and got it down to 8 seconds and also with the PETSCII semigraphics:
