BasiliskII Macintosh 68k Emulator Ported to ESP32-P4 / M5Stack Tab5

How performant is this - are we able to achieve similar speeds as an actual 68k Mac on embedded hardware?
iamflimflam1•3w ago
The P4 is pretty high spec with a 400MHz dual-core RISC-V
cardanome•3w ago
Especially as there is a decent working BasiliskII port for the PlayStation Portable with its 333MHz single-core MIPS CPU.

So this should be much easier.

vardump•3w ago
At 8 MHz, a 68k can execute at most 2M instructions per second. So the answer is going to be yes, if this manages to execute one 68k instruction per ~200 cycles.

I think executing an instruction is going to be closer to 20-50 cycles than 200, so it should be much faster than a real 68k CPU.

I think performance is likely to be in the ballpark of a 68040 @20 MHz, but that's just a guess. This would leave 20 cycles for each emulated instruction. With JIT you could reach 200 MHz+ comparable speeds.

rasz•3w ago
Everything is coming from PSRAM including frame buffer (at 15 fps) so performance is going to be abysmal.
vardump•3w ago
You should be able to cache hot code and data in the SRAM. Although it'd significantly increase complexity.
anthk•3w ago
VMac would be lighter.

Looking at the M5Stack Tab5 IoT Development Kit [1] based on the ESP32-P4 - it's a really nice piece of kit.

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when seeing this was "how long till this tablet thingy will be out of stock everywhere?".
zeckalpha•3w ago
Hoping rePalm ends up there, too! https://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=27.%20rePalm
dmitrygr•3w ago
i am doing MIPS first (for V-tech Helio), but i will eventually
zeckalpha•3w ago
Awesome. I was looking at SASD for my Palm VII just yesterday. :)
jhbadger•3w ago
Pity that this isn't for the Cardputer (a M5Stack device that includes a built in (tiny) screen and keyboard), although it might be impractical on it.

I note that the vide coding tools managed to keep the license headers in individual files, but the COPYING file containing the GPL2 has not made the transition.
