FS-UAE for OS X PPC (Not officially supported)

[ero__]

Is there any launcher app option with 10.5.8 OSX eMac G4 PPC ?

I can run fs-uae but should I make config file or any launcher can help me?

I was just looking around as your message popped up in my email. There seems to be an effort here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=63400&page=2 but I am not sure it works for PPC Mac. Worth asking though.

Eccellente tlosm! Grazie!

EDIT: It actually crashes on my iMac G5 1.8 NO ALS

[tlosm]

crash after run it or when the ppc emulation start running?
I found some days ago some library installed on leopard was only for x86 and make it crashing on me . please let me know.

It crashes right after I click on it to open it. I don't have any config file setup yet.

Need to install probably the macports and the qemu from there some library is not present on your machine (probably) or you dont have disabled the cybppc.device form cyberstorm bios ... push fast esc and put on the lun of the scsi on 0 (zero)

i had been make this for add the glew too

export GLEW_LIBS="-F/Library/Frameworks -framework glew"

The configure exit without errors everything look like ok ... but make stop build

Configuration summary for FS-UAE:

  Building for OS:   darwin9.8.0

i been remove the Os_LDFLAGS rpath like i did before for build ... but nothing to do

Hello tlosm,
I still can build tha latest FS-UAE on my G4 but the GLEW libraries I am using have been installed from MacPorts, after that this is the procedure I have followed for compiling the binaries:

Edit the configure.ac file removing the "#" tag from

#OPENAL_CFLAGS="-I/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Headers"

and then deleting (or tagging with "#") the following line

OPENAL_CFLAGS="-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Headers"

then we must shortening this line

OS_LDFLAGS="-headerpad_max_install_names -pagezero_size 0x2000 -rpath @executable_path/../Frameworks"

to this:

OS_LDFLAGS="-headerpad_max_install_names -pagezero_size 0x2000"

then, back to terminal:

./bootstrap (copied from the fs-uae master repository since it lacks in the dev distribution)

export SDL2_CFLAGS="-I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Versions/A/Headers"
export SDL2_LIBS="-F/Library/Frameworks -framework SDL2"
export CC="gcc-4.2"
export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"
export CPP="gcc-4.2 -E"
export CXX="g++-4.2"
export CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"

./configure

cd dist/macosx
make -j3

at this point the build process exit with an error related to SDL2 location so you have manually to copy SDL2 and OpenAL binaries from their respective frameworks in the FS-UAE/Contents/Frameworks located in the FS-UAE bundle

back to terminal you must enter in the subdirectory containing the FS-UAE bundle and then typing:

../standalone.py FS-UAE.app

this for blessing the bundled frameworks with right permissions

Now you have a fresh working Amiga emulator running (slowly) on our beloved PPC machines :-)

Edit: corrected the sequence of commands, FIRST edit the configure.ac and AFTER launch ./bootstrap

[tlosm]

Thankyou snake :-) i had been installed the gleew from macports too but i had the same error this why i installed the framework.
In any way why you dont build fsuae with my patched file ? you will make many people happy ;-)

[SnakeCoils]

The latest glew library working with OSX PPC is the 1.12 while the latest 1.13 does not build on my G4, I hope they will fix it in the next release.
I can try to build your patched FS-UAE, I will simply apply the above procedure looking what is happening, my programming skill doesn't go much far :-)

This does not really have anything to do with FS-UAE or changes in FS-UAE. The problem here is that when the compiled helper program "genlinetoscr" is run, the system does not find your SDL2 library. And the reason for this lies in how your SDL2 library is compiled for OS X (specifically, that the "library id" is @executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL2).

One way to work around this, if you do not want to compile SDL2 as a "normal library" is simply to put your SDL2 framework where OS X expects to find it...

Which in this case would be something like this: /Volumes/Packed/CppSrc/fusae_/fs-uae/SDL2 (because @executable_path is /Volumes/Packed/CppSrc/fusae_/fs-uae/gen when genlinetoscr is run).

just you need to copy over the old file in fsuae/src/qemuvga this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zgu5kl3sxk...c895a.cpp?dl=0

and you can build as normal you did ... nothing special Snake just commented some line that gave the endian issue.

Here in any way i continue have a trap and crash ... hope there is not another endian issue... :-(

The 2.5.39dev PPC just compiled from actual GIT repository (with your patch applied) is available in The Zone! ready for download. I have not encountered difficulty except the usual illustrated above, let me know if this binary works for you :-)

Great Snake
il will make the two plugins and share too :-P (hope they will build)


Edit: Tested your build and working 30fps doomwos on aga screen ... slow like usual because the qemu and the use of ide and not scsi but usable (it is like a 604e 200mhz on my quad)

Now im building the last qemu plugin soon i will share it ;-)

[SnakeCoils]

Excellent news :-) I also use your libfs plugin build for running the copy protected disk images.

OT: Just for fun and because its very low price, recently I have purchased a G5 dual 2.7 GHz where I have immediately replaced the liquid cooling system with air heatsinks taken from a dual 1.8 (I will rebuild the LCS later) but its performances are very disappointing if compared to my dual G4@1.5 GHz. I were expected a big boost but the power is still not enough to run (for example) the Desert Dreams demo without slowdown (accuracy=1). I think I will keep this machine for compiling purpose only but also for this task its speed compared to the G4 is not so dramatically higher...

Yes Snake... i know the performaces are low ... because MacOSx isnt using all the cpu power of G5... switch on linux ppc and you will see another computer ... Fsuae for example run 4x time faster compared OSX....

On the end of the video of Wheezy PPC you will see Fs-Uae running AmigOS4 who is running Euae Jit who is running lionheart ;-)

Any luck on getting 2.6.1 compiled for PPC ?

I dont know if snakecoils did it ... i dont have time to test on ubuntu mate 15.10 ppc ... i will test there if build , but i know will be more slower than osx side ... because since the X 1.7.x the radeonhd is corrupted and isnt possible to use the hw accelerations really needed by Fs-uae for rendering gfx. Use the software rendering gpu will make the emulation 100 time more slower than usual
