PowerPC-Specific Notes

This chapter discusses issues particular to the PowerPC version of Sweet16 for BeOS.

Performance

The PowerPC version of Sweet16 has a lovingly hand-crafted assembly emulator core. Performance in Sweet16 is better than in any other emulator I've tested. This core, based on the Bernie ][ The Rescue emulator for Mac OS, provides impressive performance (emulation of IIGS systems at around 50 or 60 MHz has been seen on some systems).

Joystick Support

BeOS doesn't support joysticks on Power Macintosh computers. The BeBox does support analog joysticks on its built-in joystick ports; however, digital joysticks are not supported.

Speed Control

Speed control isn't very accurate on PowerPC systems right now. This will be fixed as soon as we can figure out what's wrong.
