ClockSignal.... the emulator
You can get Hatari from here I used the git repository, but you should also be able to download the source for Hatari 2.4.1 I added these two lines to hatari/CMakeLists.txt at lines 164 and 165 (using...

Well, it worked! And Hatari doesn’t make the CPU go crazy, either, so I know it’s not Mesa or SDL2 causing ClockSignal to go crazy. That leaves only the main code (the general emulator, as the app...

I’m pretty sure Hatari uses SDL, not SDL2. Read full topic

I did a bit of research and, from what I can tell, it uses SDL2 nowadays. Look through the version list. I saw several references of SDL2 mentioned and SDL1 being depreciated. Did I misread things?...

I don’t know. I didn’t see anything in Hatari that specifically mentions SDL2. ClockSignal and Stella have includes for SDL2, whereas I only see an include for SDL on Hatari. But, given that I don’t...

I knew I wasn’t crazy… I went back and looked (emphasis mine, in bold): 2016-11-04: Version 2.0.0 Hatari 2.0.0 has been released. You can download it from http://download.tuxfamily.org/hatari/2.0.0...

Interesting. I wonder what has to be done to get it to use SDL2? Not that I’m in any hurry to try to it. I guess I’ll have to look a bit more closely at the config stuff and see if it’s in there. Read...

I wonder if someone could create a simple Test app that they could make two versions of for Haiku. One that specifically uses SDL 1.x exclusively and the other uses SDL 2.x exclusively. Unless there...

I found this when I did “lddtree” to the Hatari binary: libSDL2-2.0.so.0 => /boot/system/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 Just one line amidst a bazillion… but does that mean Hatari is defintely using SDL2 and...

Well, readelf says my joystick using Hatari build is, indeed, using libSDL2. So that blows my theory on why Stella won’t see it. I guess now I’ll have to see if I can get the PythonUI to work. Anyway,...

Luposian: does that mean Hatari is defintely using SDL2 and not SDL1? Since SDL 1.2 is NOT binary compatible with SDL 2.x it is highly unlikely to be using SDL 1.2 at all. Read full topic

It’s not ClockSignal’s ST emulation that’s at fault… it’s a multi-emulator (multiple platforms, not just Atari ST). the entire emulator, itself, is bonked, because it goes CPU crazy even before you...

What I meant was, where do I point —rompath to find the ROMs or what do I type in the Terminal to make it actually run and not throw up a crash error message? I had it working before. I just don’t...

As far as I know, if you’re using the command line, you must supply it with the thing you want to use or it’ll crash. If you use the graphical menu, it won’t crash and you can select what you want to...

Luposian: How is that? GEMBench uses the Atary internal clock to know how much time has passed. When the emulator cannot keep up, the whole emulated system (including that clock) cannot keep up,...
