QL on the Raspberry Pi...?

[mk79]

And ARM assembly is just weird. (Dons flameproof suit.....)

Anybody still writing that much assembler is mad in any case, no matter the processor But it allowed me to do many tricks that are simply impossible to express in a higher language, so this is one of the very few cases where even the best compiler cannot beat a human.

That's more than a long time, that's serious dedication. And thanks for all you have done over the years, without QPC, I'd have no QLing.

So in part people have to thank me for the all the stuff you do for the community, hehe No, thanks Norman, glad to hear it.

Cheers, Marcel

Compared to you, I do nothing.

Sorry I missed the smiley I meant to put on the statement as I know youve detailed that before.

I usually cannot remember what I wrote or told people, so I don‘t expect most people to remember either

The DirectX/Windows APIs would not be my worry on that as wine project is also a linkable library so there is a native linux ARM implementation of those.

Ah, I forgot about that option, good point.

uQlx is currently the goto emulator on pi0/1.

I started a new Linux job and haven’t had time to fix sQLux yet.

SQLux has had some improvements lately on Pi. On Pi0/1 devices it seems to be running well outside of x11 if people want to play. Bugs can be reported on the GitHub.

Hi, I just tried compiling this on my Pi400 but the SDL2 libs are not installed. Could you let me know which libs need to be installed?

Code: Select all

apt search sdl2

gave me a load, none of which seemed quite right?

Note: I'm running Ubuntu MATE, not Raspian, in case that makes a difference

Thanks

[NormanDunbar]

Try this search:

Code: Select all

apt search libSDL2

.... lots of output here.

I think, if I remember correctly, you need these installed for 64 and 32 bit development (compiling) and also for running the application:

Code: Select all

i   libsdl2-2.0-0                   - Simple DirectMedia Layer                  
i A libsdl2-2.0-0:i386              - Simple DirectMedia Layer                  
i   libsdl2-dev                     - Simple DirectMedia Layer development files

That's what I've got installed anyway.

Cheers,
Norm.

Code: Select all

 libsdl2-dev

Is the essential package!

Many thanks, libs installed ans sQLx built (Ubuntu MATE 20.10 64 bit).

I have copied the .uqlxrc from the uQLx repo, and added it to the dir in which I place dthe built binary. However, when I launch it, I get:

Code: Select all

I have created the ~/qm directories and placed the roms I listed in the above file in the ~/qm//romdir/ directory

Any further help gratefully received

PS - I also tried without the leading period on the .uqlxrc file

If you are putting the file in the same directory as the where you execute from then call it sqlux.ini

.uqlxrc is the legacy name and goes in $HOME

It will also search $HOME for .sqluxrc
