PI 5, best PI for Atari ST emulation? 

Telling is not the same as teaching, this video and presentation style is very good indeed.

Im really surprised the 3B+ struggles considering the ST was decently emulated on a Pentium Ii from 1998. Regardless I like this video a lot!

It will be interesting to benchmark the V4SA vs the pi5 at some point.

Atari ST was a computer I saw, and wanted badly, but couldn't get. Was a mere child... But enjoyed the video thoroughly! Keep making these videos! I wish there is a Baremetal install or at least a distro of Hatari I could run with demos and games (where copyright has expired, or is abandoned)... Any ideas? Always feel there is little out there compared to Amiga channels. Still, I rock on with my Atari 130XL computer. And the various things I can now pair with it, like the Atari SIO2SD, etc.

I can't believe how badly optimized is Hatari then. The 3B+ is able even to emulate PSP games at full speed with no FS, then why can't emulate a humble 8mhz Atari ST. Also RB 3B+ are often used with PiStorm emulators giving an incredible perfomance, and it not only emulates an ultra fast CPU but also RTG graphics, networking, ram and other stuff. Either there is an incredible lack of optimization in Hatari, or something wrong with its ARM port. Even factoring in the fact Hatari doesn't use JIT, it should not be so slow. Taking in mind how fast performance degrades are resolution goes up (I really doubt loading geneva uses more cpu than Xenon 2) I suspect it may be related with the video system in Hatari or the distro which is executing it. As the resolution increases also does the frameskip. Obviosly, this increase in CPU time used in the emulation is normal...but not in such way. Maybe Hatari is running in a software framebuffer driver so the ARM cpu has to do all the drawing and buffer swapping by software? Perhaps running Hatari as a core in Retroarch may help.

I am lucky enough to live close where they have their shop, so I could buy my Pi 5 the day after it was launched. About overclocking, most of the freezes of mine came form the video core overclocking, if you only overclock the CPU core it should be okay, although I could overclock mine up to 3.2GHz without overvolting it, and passing a 2 hour stress test done stressing it with s-tui, when I measured the arm clock with "vcgencmd measure_clock arm" it only gave me 3GHz, so I have only overclocked to that frequency. Nice to see the Atari emulators running here.

I wonder how it would on one of those Orange Pi 5 Pro 32GB RAM SBC

Wait the Falcon emulation on the Pi4 was with DSP or not? How did it perform when you put it to do something, like play a mod/mp3? My Phenom II would choke when running Hatari with DSP, but it had no issue with TT. Also, why not try with a VGA monitor and some more colors?

Thanks. I have a Pi 4 4GB and found running Hatari running a custom Falcon setup to be a bit clunky. Would be interesting to try running Hatari on something like the Banana Pi BPI M7 and see how well it performs there...

I did the same test on my Macmini3,1 1.0/Intel Core 2 Duo P7550 (2) @ 2.261GHz and that machine did not give me a FS of more than 0 (zero) but I have a feeling that is because the CPU emulation core is made for x86 and not arm. I could be wrong.

Lol I was on travel and couldn't order until like 8 hours after it was announced. Still waiting :)

Have an Amiga mini with Pandory but the Atari ST Emulator doesn’t work. This pi would be a good choice.

I assume the frame skip is zero on your Mac
