piUAE

[pete_uk]

Nope, His Git repo hasn't been updated since the original commits. Im no coder and tried the few tricks that I could think of and didn't really get any further building.

https://github.com/GnoStiC/piUAE/commits/master

Ive got a feeling that the makefile needs a few edits, but I havent used automake before so dont know where to start

I'd love to help figure this out. I deal with code a lot. I just need to find a way to get the latest RPi to my current location (deployed to Afghanistan) in a timely fashion.

Brings back memories...

So, it looks like I _should_ be able to emulate a pi through qemu. I'm going to give this a shot.

[pete_uk]

Sounds good

Also, The Libretro / Retroarch team have also updated thier P-UAE core with RPI support -
https://github.com/libretro/libretro...7808b62718c889

Recommended settings and information for Raspberry Pi 2:
- use CPU type 68000 and kickstart 1.3 for stability
- set floppy speed to 1x speed to avoid sound stuttering when loading games
- 640x400 is suitable for widescreen gaming and fits perfectly for most games
- study the settings in the sample file "RickDangerous.uae"
- whdload does not work
- overall the core performs very well with adf files

I am yet to try it and will not be able to have a look until Saturday / Sunday due to work

Hey guys, I don't have a pi to test it properly (using qemu) and it's taking too long to compile, I need to go get some sleep. So far I've cloned the repo and tried updating it. At least it _starts_ the make process now. Make sure you get the required debian packages installed and then run build_pi.sh

Nice!!! I'll have a look as soon as I have a chance

Edit - Im 99% sure that this and https://github.com/CrashSerious/PiUAE are totally different projects.
https://github.com/CrashSerious/PiUAE is a port of E-UAE and Gnostic's PiUAE is based on his P-UAE (https://github.com/GnoStiC/PUAE), which is based on E-UAE IIRC

Edit 2 -

PUAE 2.8.1 beta series
---------------------------------------------------
PUAE tries to continue where E-UAE left off..
PUAE versioning is based on the merged WinUAE version..

All is done by:
Mustafa 'GnoStiC' TUFAN (mustafa.tufan@gmail.com)

So I keep running into emulation-related issues. This would be much easier if I had a real pi qemu is locking up on me while compilation is taking place. I'll keep trying.

@pete_uk - Thanks, didn't realize that. I'll take a look at the PUAE files and compare them to the other PiUAE files (from CrashSerious) and diff them and see what's significantly different. Specifically to the ones I've copied over from CrashSerious.

[pete_uk]

Hmm, The lock ups could well be due to Qemu's limit of 256mb ram for the emulated Pi.

You could try to cross compile instead - https://www.raspberrypi.org/document...el/building.md

INSTALL TOOLCHAIN

Use the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
You can then copy the toolchain to a common location such as /tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian, and add /tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian/bin to your $PATH in the .bashrc in your home directory. For 64bit, use /tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin. While this step is not strictly necessary, it does make it easier for later command lines!

Not a bad idea. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

- edit - Also, for what it's worth, I compiled with gtk support. I'm not so sure that's completely necessary. It just seemed like maybe a better alternative to SDL, but I'll give it a shot just SDL and see how it goes.

[pete_uk]

I should be home from work in the next half hour or so and will try to have a look then

Edit - Compiling now, I will update once it has finished

[pete_uk]

I couldn't get it to compile on my pi or cross-compile on my linux laptop.

Output from cross compile - http://pastie.org/10124201

I can seem to be able to copy from Putty, so will compile locally on my Pi and upload the output.

Edit - Output from Pi - http://pastie.org/10124217

Thanks. I can't get this to build in the emulated environment and haven't yet tried cross compiling. Had a long work day today.

Anyway I pushed a new commit with some missing files. My bad. I'm not the biggest github wizard (yet) but working on it. Thanks for the help testing the compile

[pete_uk]

No probs

I'll try again quickly now. Got to get some sleep soon, Had a long day too

Edit - Make has started this time on the Pi

It's taking ages to compile cpuemu_31.c, I'll leave it going over night.

[ransom1122]

Things are sounding promising. Hope it works out

@pete_uk - that's where I OOM'd

[pete_uk]

I got the following error (There may be some typo's here, Just had to manually type it)

make[3]: ***No rule to make target @blitter.c', needed by 'blitter.o'. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/piUAE/src'

Hm, that's interesting. Ok, I'm at work and won't be able to take a look at this just yet but will try as soon as I can.

[pete_uk]

Cool

Pushed a new commit. Now we can get past THIS hump! lol. Hey, we may be moving kind of slow, but we'll get there. Thanks for the help @pete_uk
