Janus-UAE2

[nikos]

This version is only for aros 64-bit. This version is not even working as abi v.1 was broken around a year-ago. Needs recompile.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/janus-uae/files/janus-uae2/v0.2/

Could someone compile for aros i386 abi v.0
Could even be without the GUI. I'm very interested in this version.
I consider the 68k emulation the most important part of AROS or my dirstro "AspireOS".
Janus-UAE v.0 is good at least with emulating most games but would like to try out later version for
a more serious, RTG 68k workbench.

[aha]

Nikos, Janus-UAE2 is not ready and not fully useable yet. I contacted o1i a few days ago. He said that he has unfortunately no time at the moment for Janus-UAE2 due to his job and real life. So I think we have to wait.

AFAIR the actual Icaros contains an (untested) ABI v0/32bit alpha version. Use at your own risk.

Both in Janus-UAE version 1.2 and 1.4 There are some strange caracters when the GUI gets iconified.

Button to resize window inn and out does not work either.

This unfortunatly seams to crash WhdMenu from time to time.
I get this requester "Janus-UAE GUI crashed" or something like that.

I even tried in uae.config with configuration usegui=no
But GUI is still there.

Would realy, realy appreciate if this could be fixed or compiled without GUI or maybe use SDL as GUI instead. Other than that Janus-UAE is very reliable and no problems. Seams rock stable.

Are there any versions of uae that work with Aros 64 bit abi V.1?

[o1i]

The new janus-uae2 has been developed for abi v1/64bit. So it will work best there.

And yes, it would need some recompiling. Should be much easier than building v1. Let me know, if you want access to the sources.

I just tries a recompile, no bigger problems here.

But janus-uae2 fails opening libSDL.. even before any line of own code gets executed. I guess something in SDL changed?

Code: [Select]

    str2=0x0 <Module_base::Change_Config(Section*)>, n=776) at strncmp.c:56

    __arg2=0, __SysBase=0x41002820)

Is building with -lSDL not possible anymore? Is this some posixc / abi v1 library model problem?

[aha]

Just a quick note I‘d like to share with you:

Nice project, integrating Janu-UAE on Wanderer is the right way to emulate Amiga software.

[nikos]

This is great news. We need AROS to be great with classic 68k software and games.

[amigamia]

It definitely is. However, the developer has contacted me on arosworld.org to see where my SDL2 status is:

I would like to see if I can improve Janus-UAE on AROS, and one of the things would be moving it to SDL2 - but that requires the library first, of course

https://arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1087&rowstart=20&pid=2119#post_2116

I think SDL2 needs the same attention if we want to bring quality software to AROS.
