"It took a whole lot of a while but here is finally the 0.5.0 release. This is the first release with AMD64 support. The are also a lot of smaller bug fixes and compilation problem fixes."
"version 0.5 (released 13. July 2011):
- slightly better code for lmw/stmw opcodes
- use "GNU as" instead of nasm
- use -mdynamic-no-pic on *darwin
- fixed some strict-aliasing problems
- JITC: AMD64 support
- compiles with gcc 4.3, 4.4, 4.5"
This is incredible, after so many years And it works, but still has quirks like locking up with mouse movement etc. But it feels faster somehow. Perhaps I upgraded my PC during the long wait? Can't remember.
The JIT still doesn't compile for OSX. Whether that is due to some silly missing include (I get a XXX not defined) or the assembly still not being compatible, I don't know.
I sent a note to Sebastian Biallis who develops PearPC, point out this thread and the build you did. I mentioned that the JIT doesn't compile. Maybe he will share some thoughts, or make it possible to build in his next release.
Wow. I just finished compiling it. Time to try it out. Anyone want binaries? I can give OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc BSD, and Ubuntu(not windows, that is not in my grasp) If anyone could build it for windows, that would be good for windows users. Honestly, I have no clue how to do it on win. By 'small bugs', does anyone think that that may include running OS 9? If so, that would be interesting. My guess is that that will require a ROM file. I thought that PPC was out of dev for good like SS, B2, and Softmac. I had come to an early conclusion that Mac emulating was coming to an end, mostly because of Apple's switch to Intel(hackintoshing).
