There's qemu.

dont question his... stupidity, or him being naive as hell.

Why not just keep using x86? There is no critical flaw in x86 design, only some implementations. And implementation is not design.

*nods*

granted that qemu usermode only works for Linux as of now, it won't be impossible to port to ReactOS I'm sure

Lets go back to 68k processors! THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAAAAAAAT

if only there were more modern implementations, that wouldn't be too bad of an idea.

or SPARC's craziness with a few hundred CPU registers and even a sliding register window!

(talk about the potential for hyper-efficient procedure calls!)

Of course, I know you're trying to argue some bullshit point about Spectre/Meltdown w.r.t. x86, but that's not an inherent flaw of the x86 ISA, only specific x86 implementations. There are x86 implementations (CPUs from AMD and VIA, for example) that do not have these flaws. Therefore, the argument that x86 should be dumped because of these flaws is myopic and logically flawed.

Also, Spectre is exploitable on other ISAs, like ARM.

Generally agree. My own watching over projects like RISC-V has been one motivated by wanting ISAs in general to cease being proprietary in some form or another. x86 and ARM are included in that category :p

meltdown and spectre have been overblown

also why dump something thats still widely used?

whoops, spectre and meltdown are some serious shit, BETTER MOVE TO SOMETHING THAT DOESNT CONTAIN THESE FLAWS, IM SURE THE PROGRAMS WILL RUN FINE

could move to AMD and still have compat

Why did we dump Motorola 68000 processors?

They weren't able to keep up with new up-and-coming CPUs (x86) on significant performance bechmarks

Why did we dump Motorola 68000 processors?

Motorola wasn't willing to commit sufficient engineering resources to further the ISA, instead looking to push 88k instead.

the nail in the coffin was when Doom was impractical to play on a 68k chip

Cool

Eventually when Doom was made open source, people have made ports that run full-speed on some of the higher-end 68ks in AmigaOS

but that came very late and required some assembly wizardry :P

That bet bit them on the ass, so they played the field with the "AIM Alliance" (Apple, IBM, Motorola), to become a second source supplier for IBM PowerPC chips (and Apple exclusively used Motorola-fabbed PowerPC CPUs for quite a while.)

does amd include in some other processor types x86 emu or..? kinda suggests that, based on the discussion before and my silly sarcastic comment

*blinks*

AMD's main business is making x86 chips and they're not vulnerable.

so no?

As far as I am aware, the AMD Opteron A-series does not implement x86 emulation.

the x86 design is patent- and royalty-encumbered and possibly not legal to produce your own without licensing from Intel and AMD (for both the 16/32-bit ISA and the 64-bit ISA). There are people that have made open clones of the 80286 that has had all its patents expire, but you won't ever find something approaching a modern x86 chip.

That's why we have alternatiaves like RISC-V instead

as far as using qemu to provide x86 compatibility, it at least probably would work fine enough to play games (that are more GPU-bound than anything). Maybe not for some workloads though :P

already does

Linux and FreeBSD have ports, GCC and binutils have support

I know you 🤔

Will there be a build where you'll be able to поднять money?

Like in Azino777

I know you 🤔

Just a pretty similar nickname to two Valve fans

working on it now, with Bullet physics :)

Wtf

oh, are you a Unigram contributor?

Or just user?

when's UROSP :D

Gordon, why are you trying so hard to type something, you won't be able to, you're mute

This @oh0oh guy keeps mentioning me and then removes them. Are you afraid of being judged by me through my sarcastic but yet truthful words? Because, even if you don't mention me, I'll still do it, simply because you just won't realize how much of a naive person you are, throwing so much praise to ReactOS it fucking hurts to read and watch, and having demands that aren't even possible at it's current state, also you seem to talk lots of bullshit, pretending you know what you're saying, but in the end, you don't.

there's a difference between speaking and typing.

The real Gordon has a very unusual way of typing

in consoles, at least

using Alyx with her EMP

i'll go from work after 0:00

i'll go from work after 0:00

O_O

releasing something tomorrow?

no; students force me to go to work at 7:00 pm

I have an exam tomorrow ugh

They had an "zachot" today

and then will have to write 5 reports on testing some minimum-finding functions until 16th

we need to test functions in ReactOS!

like 1.9 done so far :D

we need to test functions in ReactOS!

They're platform-independent

the brand new NT 6.0+ APIs

but using VS2017 to compile them :D

yeah

only calling some cmath, mostly fabs, and cstdio

Clang, Notepad and cmd.exe?
