SheepShaver on Raspberry Pi is ... yellow

Post by foobarney »

This is weird.

I just built SheepShaver on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ using vanilla, just-installed RasPi OS. Built and runs without much issue except that it's ... yellow. The whole screen has a yellowish-green tinge from bootup. (I'd share a screen shot but I don't think I can).

I know it's not the boot image, because it's yellow even if you boot without any volumes--just a sad, yellow, flashy floppy disk.

I've searched but was shocked that I couldn't find this happening before. Did I just miss something obvious?

This sounds like you're doing an SDL 1.2 build. Specific versions of SDL 1.2 have this bug.

What happens if you build the SDL2 version?

Sounds like a solution, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that. Install 2.0 runtime binaries and rebuild? Is there a separate config flag?

Thanks!

Yeah; there's a seperate config flag; I can't remember what it is for Raspbian. But you have to set the target to SDL2 instead of X11 or SDL.
