There is SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) support for Classic Amigas

[doble07]

Hi all!

There is SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) support for Classic Amigas?

Anyone has achieve SDL with Amiga 68k/030 + AGA only?

I found SDL-Amiga in Aminet, but it seem only to work with Graphics Cards...

Thanks

There are several SDL implementations for AGA. Slow as hell but hey.

http://ggreco.interfree.it/sdl.html
http://amiga.sourceforge.net/ (I think this might be cgx only)

WarpSDL by Chaozer was the fastest but he never released the source or developer libs so all you could play was WarpSCUMM

Hi Alexh!

Thanks for the links...

I have been testing all these SDL implementations but none works with AGA. Only with RTG...

Thanks.

I guess your only chance is to try to get Chaozer to release WarpSDL?

Hi Alexh!

I have been testing WarpSCUMM that requires WarpSDL, but it crashed when I launched it in my AGA system.

If Chaozer doesn't released it, probably it never will be released!

Thanks

All I can think of is that you have some extra software installed (patches) which crash WarpSDL.

Check to see what you've got installed, perhaps disable them for a bit.

Hi Alexh!

I have tested WarpSCUMM with ClassicWB_P96_v24 and it works perfect, but it uses Graphics Card. My second test was launch ClassicWB_P96_v24 without Startup-Sequence, then I launched "SetPatch" manually from CLI and then I start WarpSCUMM. It loads MonkeyIsland but it crash before open a window or custom screen...

Anyone used WarpSCUMM successful in a AGA system?
if so, what kind of AGA system you used?

Thanks!

An unneeded wrapper outside opengl written in C on a 50 MIPS computer where the blitter (if it's used at all) is slower than syrup? Sounds like a marriage made in heaven! :P

With a graphics card, I can possibly see it. Should be a bunch of much faster libraries for those cards to use instead. Whatever you make on it will not reach an audience.

from the requirements in the README file of WarpSDL:

* 040/060 for AGA support.

i played with source code of a very primitive scummvm version to make a day of tentacle version compatible with stock 1200. it included an sdl library as scummvm was relying on it and needed ixemul.library also. a WriteChunkyPixels Patch (blazeWCP or systempatch) was necessary to make it run at reasonnable speed. i will check if i can still find this source code and will let you know....

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT DIRECTLY FROM AMINET (source included ... 3 files related to sdl) and sorry the version i used did not need ixemul library :http://aminet.net/package/game/role/ScummVM_AGA

you will find details of dott version here : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...highlight=dott

ooh, more juicy source code... Might be worth a looksie, see what it has inside.

Cheers for the linky
