Hello all!

I have finally completed new version of powersdl.library. It is partially new port from the official SDL sources compiled using gcc4 so it may have loads of bugs I didnt notice yet (possibly in mutexes and file I/O). But it should fix some existing bugs (keyboard handling with French keymaps and some new HW :)) and probably runs faster.

Download RC from here:

New release follows later this year.

Thanks! Good work, downloading now.

YOUPI !!!!

Thanks a lot Itix for this new version of PowerSDL !

thanks itix! great notice this!!!

@Itix,

Great work, but this version seem's really too buggous to be usable to my point of view.
Tested on MacMini 1,5Ghz + Morphos 2.6

- Battle for Wesnoth seem's to work

- Foobillard can't open screen
- Mures can't open screen
- Teeworlds crash or can't open screen
- Fheroes2 have weird graphics
- Meritous crash

I test it now with the last OpenBOR v3 and crash with this new sdl library, i need to talk with you about SDL screens problems with SDL morphos

Thanks for bug reports, I finally fixed powersdl and uploaded new version 15.1:

http://www.amigasoftware.org/test/powersdl_151.lha

OpenGL and AHI support was broken and fixed in this version. There is still probably something I overlooked...

E-UAE_SDL doesn't work with v15 and v15.1. The emulator can't be launched.

FUSE - free unix zx-spectrum emulator does not started with 15.1 becouse illegal instruction in Log Server.

Ok, looking at it.

Is this release compatible with v14.0 about SDK?
To know if I need make a PyGame release or not.
Has someone tested a pygame game with it?

Uploaded version 15.2:

http://www.amigasoftware.org/test/powersdl_152.lha

Fixed joystick handling which was broken due to GCC bug. But I still cant get FUSE running. It crashes right after windows is opened. I cant see references to powersdl.library in a crash log.

@Yomgui

Havent tested with a pygame but v15 is compatible with v14 SDK. V15 just crashes more often ;)

Ardentryst works with powersdl.library v15.2.

@itix

very good
Problems with "the battle for wesnoth" and "Giana's Return"

Itix, Version 15.2 is far better.

I have some small graphical problems in Meritus
Legend of Edgar crash at start and freeze Morphos.
Hits and crash with Zelda3T

Okay, looking at those. Seems switching to GCC4 caused more problems than solved.

this version library itix, don´t load images (png and jpg)
now for example, openbor work, but with no GFX, only a black screen

Itix, will there be a new PowerSDL 15.x release soon ?
How about creating a new PowerSDL 14.x version compiled for gcc 4.4.4 with few bugs corrections/new features ? (I suspect a bug in rwops that may lead to crash with some SDL_Mixer functions, A support for users native keyboard would be appreciate to avoid to have to swith to american keyboard when playing some games, other various problems if there are some)
