Basilisk II SDL2 port
Posted by: DLudwig255 on 2017-07-22 19:19:38
Hello!

I've been spending the better part of my afternoon trying to cobble together a port of Basilisk II to SDL2. I've been able to put together a somewhat functional port, although there are some bugs.

If anyone is interested in it, I've posted a pre-built Mac OS X binary at https://github.com/DavidLudwig/macemu/releases

Code for this port is up at https://github.com/DavidLudwig/macemu

Feature-wise, the main thing is probably the support of Mac OS X's "Spaces" feature. If and when Basilisk II is launched in full-screen mode, it'll attempt to work with OS X's desktop manager, to create a separate desktop for Basilisk II. On devices with multi-touch enabled trackpads (MacBooks, etc.), this allows one to do a multi-finger swipe from an OS X desktop, to a Basilisk II desktop.

There are new bugs, some of which I am aware of, many of which I probably am not. I'll see if I can get some of the known ones fixed, when I next have a free weekend for computer work. I'll attempt to list a few of the known ones on Github.

Cheers!

Nice work! Fixing up my OS X box, but hope to take a look once it's back running.

I'll be following this closely. Thanks for putting the effort in!
