DingusPPC: A more accurate PowerPC Mac emulator

[kataetheweirdo]

This emulator has been discussed in the Infinite Mac topic already, but I figured it deserves its own topic.

I've been working on this emulator for some time with a few other people. It's far from complete, but it's being actively developed.

DingusPPC's source code repository is here.

Releases for the emulator can be downloaded here.

Thank you for the work on this emulator. I’m very impressed with the progress and compatibility.

I tried to add few lines into help output and README. (attached)

Still not quite work for my case (booting self-created cd with yaboot/Linux)

Bootable ppc cdrom

Yes, thank you, with imac.zip rom from MAME emulation starts, but stuck lately when Linux kernel is loaded?

We've got some fixes in for the decrementer. That said, there seems to be some interrupt issues in general and they're not easy to trace.

Recent updates have fixed Apple Pippin emulation. BeOS can also boot up now, albeit somewhat slowly. Performa 6400 emulation is also being worked on.

Cool, nice to see a 603 'Mac' and 603ev being emulated. I guess they'll get onto infinite Mac at some point. Does 5200/6200 emulation work given that Valkyrie is emulated? I had a look in the machine list, but couldn't see it. In theory is it simply a question of adding the right machine description, e.g. machinecrusader.cpp whose contents reference the correct peripherals?
