GSPLUS ALPHA
|
|
|
|
|
============

|
|
|

|
|
|
This is an early release of an experimental project to modernize the
|
|
|
|
|
KEGS/GSport emulator platform and eventually extend it.
|

|
|
|
|
The first steps are represented here. This release features a new SDL2 driver.
|
|
|
|
|
SDL or "Simple DirectMedia Layer" allows me to write one driver to handle input
|
|
|
|
|
and output (video, mouse, keyboard, audio, joystick). The hope is that I can
|
2016-01-31 16:52:18 +00:00
|
|
|
leverage the multi-platform nature of SDL to provide first-class support for
|
2016-01-30 19:19:37 +00:00
|
|
|
the major plaforms supported by SDL, which includes Mac OSX, Windows and Linux.

I'm not a huge fan of OSX, but I keep a MacBook Pro nearby for work, so the
|
2016-01-30 19:19:37 +00:00
|
|
|
first version to be release is this OSX build. I'll try to have builds for
|
2016-01-31 16:52:18 +00:00
|
|
|
other platforms available in a few weeks.

Some notes:
|
2016-01-31 16:52:18 +00:00
|
|
|
You need to provide the ROM file and disk images and a config file. I'd
|
2016-01-30 19:53:53 +00:00
|
|
|
recommend you just drop it in your current GSport or KEGS folder and run it
|
2016-01-31 16:52:18 +00:00
|
|
|
from there.

I took out the "middle-click to enter debug" because it's stupid. No one wants
|
|
|
|
|
to use their mouse wheel to enter a debugger. *smacks forehead*
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to enter debug, it's shift-F6. F6 is speed up, same as right and
|
|
|
|
|
middle mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The big feature is FULLSCREEN SUPPORT! Yaya! Hit F11 for full-screen. My Mac
|
|
|
|
|
has some stupid expose feature mapped over this, so I basically hit
|
|
|
|
|
control-fn-F11 and it works. Stupid Macs. :P
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't changed much else at this point. This is an experimental driver and
|
|
|
|
|
a very early release, so I'm not looking for feedback. Please don't tell me
|
|
|
|
|
about it rendering weird, making funny noises, crashing your computer, stealing
|
2016-01-31 16:52:18 +00:00
|
|
|
your car, or blowing up your house.

I'd recommend you not really try building it at this time, but if you want, go
|
2016-01-30 19:19:37 +00:00
|
|
|
for it.
