Just for some motivation, this is what we want to make possible for more
people with QEMU 8.0: https://youtu.be/YY9RExl4VDI
This would need at least my SM502 patches and fixing the IRQ routing in
the VT8231 (this test was with my series for that, I'll ask testing
Bernhard's version the same way once I get it and rebase my patches on
it). AmigaOS can use ES1370 so the via-ac97 patches are not that important
now but the other patches would be needed. I hope users won't have to wait
until September to try this.
While AmigaOS runs on sam460ex now, that versiion is much slower due to
the limited PPC440 that doesn't have AltiVec and also due to some issues
on the real platform it has to do more synchronisation which slows it
down. The pegasos2 version runs much better and has a better chance to get
it to work with KVM on PPC host so this would be a big improvement even if
there would be more bugs to fix in upcoming releases but we'll never find
those unless people can start using it and report them. More people are
interested but less are able to compile and test from git repos and depend
on binary distros instead.
