Description Heikki Orsila 2004-09-05 16:53:06 UTC

These two patches will fix a bug in uae 0.8.22 sdl sound target, and add ALSA support. uae > 0.8.22 are a fork of the uae main line and these patches do not concern them. However, users of the mainline uae should apply these. I am not sure, but the forked line may probably have applied these already since the maintainer told me so.

The ebuild author should apply those patches with something like -p1.

Is there any reason to support Bernd Schmidt's UAE any more? He does not seem to support it any longer.

Yes, there is a reason. The newer versions which are backports from WinUAE are too experimental. UAE 0.8.22 doesn't have all the features, but it's a solid packet.

If no one else cares about 0.8.22, I might volunteer to submit necessary ebuild changes for it.

Comment 3 Heikki Orsila 2004-09-11 08:03:14 UTC

I downloaded the latest and greatest winuae backport from drummond, and saw that they have not yet merged ALSA support into it. Hence for alsa users it is not a choice but a must to use uae 0.8.22 with the alsa patch. This is an immediate reason why uae 0.8.22 shouldn't be removed now.

Don't worry, you had me convinced with the stability argument. I switched to ppc recently and UAE is not much fun without a JIT so I haven't used rcdrummonds fork that much :(

I will add your patches later today.

Comment 5 Heikki Orsila 2004-09-11 09:51:53 UTC

David, don't add the patch yet. I have a new one coming. Noticed that that patch doesn't work on newer alsa versions on amd64. The new one does.

Comment 6 Heikki Orsila 2004-09-11 10:03:28 UTC

Here's the new ALSA patch:

The first version broke on amd64.

Thanks, I finally added it to portage. E-UAE now has its own ebuild and you can have both installed at the same time.
