I finally got around to fix some of remaining bugs. It is possible there are still bugs which didnt exist in V14 version released 3 years ago. Anyway, this version should work on PowerBooks.

Nice!

Excellent news !!!

Thanks a lot Itix

Great will download and install tonight on my PB and QS.

Seems it has some problem with file paths. For example Hex-a-Hop tries to load "PROGDIR:data//font.ttf" and fails, as one of slashes is superfluous.

I can confirm that Hex-a-Hop fails with

Cannot load font `Progdir:data//font.ttf'

So, a slash needs to be removed.

In addition to that I tried "Tomatoes" and "Edgar". Both crash badly.

They all work with V14 of course.

Thanks for this, I was missing SDL (or at least its dependents).

Can`t get any sound out of ScummVM (on Powerbook) - `SDL mixer output buffer size: 1104 differs from desired: 2048!` on startup, then no sound at all. Rendering is fast and good though!

Found a bug from SDL RW operations so new 15.4 update is coming soon.

Quote:

Anyone else having problems? This message is not an error. It is just that smaller audio buffer is used and program should continue oeperating normally.

There is a bug in original SDL implementation though and I always have to patch it manually whenever I update SDL base code. Could be I have made an error there since in V15 entire code base was restructured.

@geit

"Tomatoes" is fixed in next 15.4 release but Edgar is still crashing badly. Any chance to get a log?

I looked at Hex-a-Hop and it is manually appending "/font.ttf" to base dir. It doesnt look like it has anything to do with SDL...

Uploaded V15.4 to Aminet. This fixes problem with Tomatoes.

More fixes to follow when I get more data.

I have no sound with this version (tested with many SDL programs, no sound at all).
Tested on Pegasos2.
Everything else seems ok.

Downloaded.. but though aminet report V15.4 the powersdl.library inside the archive is V 15.3
I tried with Grunch too but after downloading and installing it warns that powersdl it's obsolete.

Thanks itix now i think do you have a lot of hard work updating it, well OpenBOR 3711 is uploaded to aminet too (you know the bugs) but the bugs i found i wait for updated morphos 3.2 to continue :)

Either I failed to copy new library or dependencies in Makefile are broken and library header was not rebuilt when I bumped revision :) Current SDL releases are in messy state due to large changes in over three years with lot of inactivity between developmment sessions and without any proper releases between.

Either way I got list of SDL games from Thore which are not working with V15. I am concentrating on those games now to find out what is broken in current release.

Thanks for your work Itix!!
By the way, Tomatoes doesn't work here and Milky Tracker have strange behaviours (lateral scroll buttonsimpossible to use, sometimes program crashes).

Jambalah,

Grunch for sure does not report that.

It just continues claiming Powersdl is outdated, because the Aminet says it V15.4 and even after installation local version is still V15.3, as thats the version inside the archive.

Sorry Geit.. you wrote what I was trying to explain and I did it in the wrong way... =)

Okay, apparently audio code was (slightly!) broken. Wrong return value messed it up.

Too bad my wireless headset broke today and our cat has destroyed our other headsets :)

Meow?!?

@itix

I`m looking forward to playing Simon the Sorcerer whenever you get it sorted. Of course I could use my PC but it`s not the same somehow!

@fraggle

Did you try the v14 sdl itix included in the archive to revert to if v15 wouldn't work?

Actually no, I didn`t think it worked on the Powerbook. Thanks, I`ll give it a blast.

@itix, V15.4 gives broken graphics un fullscreen with Flare 0.16.
and crash in window mode with Flare 0.17.
Broken graphics with Flare 0.15 in window mode.

Broken floor graphics with freeDroid RPG 0.14.1 in openGL Mode (ok without openGL)

Files path problem with Pingus 7.2.

Aww, crap. This PowerSDL project is coming from my early days with MorphOS programming. I thought it was good idea "help" developers and implemented automatic *nix to amiga path conversion routine to file ops. OSX port had filesystem path conversion routine and I thought it is good idea have it in MorphOS, too.

I have now fixed pingus and probably many other games.

@itix: there is a problem of version in last archive:

Grunch say PowerSDL is outdated

PowerSDL.library version is 15.3 in PowerSDL 15.4 archive.

Could you give a link for latest version for test quickly than wait it on Aminet,thanks
