Emulation-related sources now up on GitHub
#336709 - 02/06/15 01:15 AM


I've been trying to clear out some of my previously private sources and decided to put them up on GitHub under a BSD license:

https://github.com/aaronsgiles

Most interesting here is probably the source to my Radikal Bikers emulator, and also the sources for the VBI processor that can be used for laserdisc captures.

I'll post more when/if I find other useful things in the archives.

Is that the Laserdisc capture software that was going to be the archiving software for MAME? I'm very curious about how that was done and I would enjoy reading the source.

From the looks of it, its not a tool for capturing laser disk video but a tool to process captured video and extract the information stored in the vertical blanking part of the video signal.

Yeah, I'm trying to get it to compile (in MESS, of course). It's got Metrowerks project files of unspecified version; I've been going through the 68k compatible versions on the Garden trying to find one that works (Pro 4 claims the project is too old and needs to be run through a separate conversion utility that I can't find).

There's actually a newish GCC fork that runs natively on Linux and OS X and builds Classic MacOS applications; it might be worth converting it to that for longevity if I can find where that is again

I just read about something like that, it's called mpw:

Not it - that's the half-emulator that runs Apple's MPW tools (MPW runs well in MESS, so if I wanted to do that I'd be set already). I'm talking about a real modified GCC 4.9 + binutils + a resource compiler etc. that runs on modern OSes and outputs classic Mac OS executables.

ETA to help out anyone Googling: it's this guy.
