Received my engineering sample courtesy of
@Badwolf :D
Not much to look at here.. Frankly too lazy to remove the CPU again and spend the next five hours refitting it just to take an image :lol:

There does seem to be a odd "reset" problem somewhere along the line. In that sometimes you have to press the reset button several times to get it to boot. I do not think it is the H5 as it works fine with the CPU directly on the motherboard.
But otherwise so far so good :dualthumbup:

I love it when a plan comes together. :thumbup: (need a cigar emoji :P )
If you can swing TOS2.06 decoding, ALTROM time! :twisted:

PS: incidentally, pretty trivial to put a 2.06 decoder on one of the test points, now I think about it.

Next job then ;)
Easy to hookup on a H5 :)

Actually, just noticed: there’s no AltRAM in that benchmark. EmuTOS ought to pick it up automatically, but I guess it’s not in the 192k version.
PRG EmuTOS should work, though, and get you much better figures.
*cough* Then, of course, FrontBench will look good. :mrgreen:

It doesn't pick it up no.

Ah, ok, sure. Wasn't clear. I don't think the 192k ROM version supports AltRAM at all.

PRG version found 8MB..
Testing GB6.. I think it passed all tests but crashed on the final alt-ram test...

Thing something has slowly died because it crashed while loading the benchmark reference file just.I am not sure how good the CPU is though..

Quick retest with a fan blowing on the thing this time...
