I started working on porting FBA to linux using one GUI code across multiple oses with Qt support. By now I only have emulation of video (no inputs or sound), for this I'll use SDL backends for portability. But at moment I'm focusing on reconstruct FBA GUI... the code is still at early stage.

This is a little demo:

Very nice work - I would be interested in this being applied to the main source tree when you ready if you are interested.
-
That's very cool. I'd also be interested in seeing this in the main tree, i'd also help out building it if I had any time.
-
That would be great, but there's a lot of work to be done yet.
My source tree is here:
https://bitbucket.org/zxmarcos/fba-qt
Rom scanning and reporting errors on load implemented...

Wow! Looks great!
-
It looks very nice. Keep up the good work. :)
-
I'm trying to get sound but even with SDL backend it doesn't work.. :(
I don't understand how nAudNextSound, nAudSegCount, nAudSegLen and nAudAllocSegLen work together. That's very confusing...
And what is the fps magic? I didn't see any code related to that...
:S
-
FYI, I am not sure that SDL audio driver was ever fully tested.
As for the FPS stuff, that will be to make it frameskip and/or run without sound depending on which bit you mean.
Is there an easy way to get this building on OSX? I could take a quick look if so.
-
Well, the source tree is here:
https://bitbucket.org/zxmarcos/fba-qt/src
To compile you'll need QtSDK (http://qt-project.org/downloads).
Dependencies are: SDL, libz and libpng.
EDIT:
I've got sound running (very buggy :)) with my QtMultimedia backend :)

I have it building and running on OSX. I had to make a few patches as it seems that clang is a bit harsher on certain bits of code when it comes to casting and type sizes than MSVC and GCC. Also there were a few things I had to do with regards to OpenGL as some of the headers are named slightly differently. Also, I had to change the build to include the version of libpng thats in the FBA sources.
I may now be able to help :)
And good work with the sound. In fact good work with the whole Qt thing :)
-
Looks nice! However that is the first version of code :D
I fixed sound backend using multithreaded code. The sound and fps are okay, however CPS-3 sound is not good, it seems to be playing slowly :S

All changes are committed to bitbucket.

This is awesome! Is it possible to update the source code with your patch? Mac has been waiting for FBA for years!

Yeah, I can probably work on a pull request for Romhack. I just need to work out how to make the Qt creator project have some mac specific lines and get his latest code. there are also a few things that stop it being really usable with regards to rom loading. it seems that Qt on the mac likes to have a different path setup for accessing outside of the application package than Linux. Still, it is possible to run most of the games with a bit of messing around. I may spend some time on this later today if I get chance.

You can use Q_OS_MAC macro.
Or use platform scopes in project file: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmake-language.html#platform-scope-values
EDIT:
Inputs are working (keyboard only). I would use SDL but it requires a visible window (created with SDL_SetVideoMode) :p The good news is that joysticks don't need that.

Well, maybe compile Qt by yourself or use homebrew to install Qt would be easier to solve the PATH problem, install the binary from the official site may cause some issues.
BTW, I don't know which version of Qt is for this port, 4.8.x or 5.2.1?
-
Nice work RomHack :) A port of FBA on Linux is something a lot of people wants to see!
-
Here is a test build for linux64.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z8yp5gj3fksztr8/fbaqt-linux64.tar.bz2
I'm implementing fullscreen support. At first raster render was a bit slow (1920x1080), but with QGLWidget it's running smoothly :)
-
Building with Qt5.2.1 on OS X, no good :(
-
Yeah, that's not Qts fault that clang being a bit harsher than gcc. I have those fixed in my local tree but wanted to check against the latest version of FBA before I did any more with it.
I'll try and get a pull request done asap. As usual time is my enemy.
I also can't attach a build as it's more than 6mb zipped.
-
kev, http://sharesend.com is nice for swapping larger files :)
-
I've made a branch here: https://bitbucket.org/kjarmstrong/fba-qt
Also sent a pull request to Romhack.
I've only tested it with the latest Qt Creator. The only other dependency is the latest SDL 1.2 build, installed as per the instructions on the SDL site (i.e. make sure you have the lib in your frameworks directory)
-
Build here (thanks for the suggestion Dink)

This build doesn't work on my Mac(10.9.3 13D61), trying to build the source in my own environment, it works!
But it looks...
-
Hiko: Did you get any error messages with my build? Also can you post your build somewhere so I can take a look here?
-
Thank's for the patch :)

I'll need to move emulation code to another thread. When I hide menu, go fullscreen or move window the UI thread is busy doing these things and doesn't call emulation handler in time, as side effect sound emulation thread is running and continue to request more sound, so we got a lot of buffer underflow...
-

Hi Kev, it seems your build is not static, I show you the error message screenshots, and I attached my build here:

Rendering into QGLWidget from another thread is a hell! And performance is bad, the thread always block on swapBuffers :P
So I left Qt drawing system. I am now using ruby (http://byuu.org/programming/ruby/) for videobackends (audio/input in future :)), and for my surprise it's incredibly fast for rendering (OpenGL backend has shaders support for free :)). Now I have a responsive GUI and rendering is smoothly even when resize/move the window. All these things without another thread!
-
Awesome. That sounds like a great idea :)

Damn that's cool :) seems like it should be in the native windows build too :)
-
How is it going now?
-
I'm putting together another patch for romhack to get the latest additions building under osx. Also going to take a look at building under Windows.
-
It's so good to know.
EMU in Mac's world is far behind windows, although the trend is for multi-platform. Can't wait for an OFFICIAL FBA on Mac... :biggrin:
-
I'm working on a new project file, much more robust with dependencies(m68k, perl scripts, etc...) generated in build time and support to enable/disable drivers by system (this is good for devbuilds because reduces compilation times)...
-
Any news? :S
-
Lately I've very busy :(
Anyway, last addition was dips dialog, next thing to do is input dialog.
Also I need to work on building with FBA_DEBUG flag, it's broken...
-
QtMultimedia backend on Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't work properly :P problems with multithreading code...
I wrote a pulseaudio driver with simple API, now it's working fine, actually better than QtMultimedia.

Are you from Sao Paulo, Romhack? Have you ever been in touch with the emulation scene running in the Garoa Hacker Clube?

I am from Assis/SP, so I've never been there, anyway it seems to be an interesting place.

I improved and fixed some bugs on interface.

Hello
please can you upload FBA for Yosemite.
thanks...
-
Great work romhack,
I'm really envying you, not for KI but for your linux/qt port of FBA!!
Any hope to get the qt ui released/merged in the main source for poor linux users? :)
Thanks
Manlio

I download the code and compile it succeed in ubuntun 14.10(installed in vmware), but fba shows black screen and it can not play the roms.like this:
Starting /home/chenzm/work/backbup/build-fbaqt-Desktop-Debug/fbaqt...
QXcbInputInit
Ruby Succefully initialized
QtSoundStop
QtSoundInit
QtSoundSetCallback
QtSoundGetNextSoundFiller
QtSoundSetCallback
RubyVidInit
QtSoundPlay
using null output device, none available
does anyone can help me ? I knonw it maybe a audio issue, but I do not know how to do next .please help .
-
Please use lastest source code available here (http://www.barryharris.me.uk/fba_downloads.php).
Ruby was dropped from FBAQt because byuu won't update it anymore. Now FBAQt uses its own OpenGL3.3 render.
QtSound driver doesn't work on newer Qt versions, I don't know why. Lastest version uses PulseAudio.

Hello Romhack
as you said, I got the latest code and build it with qt on my ununtu OS, I run it and found it shows:
Erro ao carregar o shader: 0:2(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ES
Erro ao carregar o shader: 0:2(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ES
does it means my system OpenGL is lowe than the fba wanted ? I found in the fba code said it would need the opengl 3.3 core.
so how to do this, need I update the OpenGL to 3.3 version ,but I think this ways maybe not a good idear, here is my grahic version:
chenzm@ubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on SVGA3D; build: RELEASE;
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.3.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 10.3.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
could you advise me how to do next ,thank you very much .

I was wondering, is FBA-Qt on linux having any issue with colors on konami games ?
-
Is this port dead? I was really looking forward to using FBalpha in ubuntu/linux mint :confused:
-
I don't know if this port is dead, but you can still run fba through retroarch + libretro-fba port on most platform (including linux on pc compatible)
-
The port is not dead, but I need to sync qmake project to FBA .37.
