I will probably create a request for help thread regarding these when I get chance. Ideally, I was hoping that there was a compiled version of an existing emulator. I did find FUSE compiled for pdaXrom but nothing else unfortunately. |

funny, a colleague was waxing lyrical about his "speccy" days, so I took a look at this.
I think there were two on killefiz.de.. ah yes... http://killefiz.de/zaurus/showapps.php?cat=15 however, I think when I tried to download one, it was 404, the other I think would have worked. |

The one that the link works for is zJasper. The other one is zx4zaurus which I have managed to track down. I have installed both but neither work on my SL-C3200 running Cacko. When I launch them the resolution changes and it displays 'Please wait...' and it looks like it may start then it just goes back to the launcher. This happens on both. Is it a problem with Jeode do you think? Do I need to install Jeode as well? Cheers |

Cheers hmm, please consider updating the wiki with the location of zx4zaurus here: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Emulation you will definitely need java installed. http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Zaurus_Java_FAQ --edit- if you don't want to update wiki, just reply with URL of zx4zaurus and I will do so for you, thanks |

There is hope that Fuse can be compiled for Sharp/Cacko as it supports SDL. We just need good soul to try that.

Don't have the link I'm afraid but I will search again and post it. QUOTE(qaz @ Feb 13 2007, 03:59 PM) There is hope that Fuse can be compiled for Sharp/Cacko as it supports SDL. We just need good soul to try that. Fingers crossed mate. Fuse would be excellent. I may have a go at compiling if someone who knows what they are doing doesn't get in there first. Hopefully it's not TOO tricky. |

I'm giving it a go as we speak.. the secret appear to be to stick with SDL: in libspectrum: /configure -with-sdl --without-glib --prefix=/mnt/card/usr/fuse in fuse: ./configure -with-sdl --without-gtk2 --without-gkt --prefix=/mnt/card/usr/fuse problem is that configure works in libspectrum, but the make fails: CODE $ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2' Making all in doc make[2]: Entering directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2/doc' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2/doc' Making all in myglib make[2]: Entering directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2/myglib' /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/mnt/card/usr/fuse/include -g -O2 -Wall -c ghash.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/mnt/card/usr/fuse/include -g -O2 -Wall -c ghash.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ghash.o In file included from ghash.c:41: ../internals.h:36: libspectrum.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [ghash.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2/myglib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/hdd2/build/libspectrum-0.2.2' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 there is no libspectrum.h! |

QUOTE(speculatrix @ Feb 13 2007, 06:54 PM) there is no libspectrum.h! Maybe I'm missing something here (sincere apologies if that's the case) but I have libspectrum here and it includes libspectrum.h. The file I have is libspectrum-0.2.2.tar.gz From here:- ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclai...um-0.2.2.tar.gz It would be tremendous if FUSE can be compiled. Cheers |

Cheers aha, when I first unpack libspectrum the file libspectrum.h exists, but when I run the configure program it renames it to libspectrum.h.in (happens on both a x86 and arm build). very odd. I also thought I would have a go at the latest xmame/mess build, got it build on linux x86 with sdl, so there's hope for the arm build. so many projects, so little time! |

Hmmm, not sure if I'm being much help here but this is included in the comments at the top of libspectrum.h:- CODE /* NB: This file is autogenerated from libspectrum.h.in. Do not edit unless you know what you're doing */ Straight after the unpack I have a libspectrum.h.in as well. |

I got Fuse running a few years ago. It was still too slow. Not much better than the java emulators, to be honest.
Maybe someone with more time than me can optimise it, but I was very dissapointed with it. |

Merli compiled Fuse for pdaXrom, see:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18284&hl= He didn't complain about speed, but X is a different world, I guess. |

is there still any interest in this? I'm interested!
I have tried out a few of the standard unix emulators on my 3100 running cacko, using meanie's peerless pdaXQtrom and gcc images. Ideally I'd like something that executes in full screen (so I am aiming mostly at SDL) and at full speed.
