Hi,
Having been a RISC OS user for many years but now many years ago,
when I reluctantly decided to become an
Apple user earlier this year (with a new 2009 iMac running Mac OS X
10.5.6) I was very keen to trial RPCemu. I
successfully managed to install spoon edition v0.8.3 using RISC OS
4.02 ROM images, following the
instructions on http://www.riscos.info/index.php/RPCEmu_Mac_Guide
(and a tweak of administrator permissions which were necessary).
I've migrated applications and data from an A5000 running RISC OS
3.10, and given the difference in
software, OS & CPU, I was expecting some challenges. I'm still
trying to get to the bottom of a number of
them which I might have to raise here in the future if that's ok?,
but in the meantime I'm planning to do
the following:
- upgrade (from MAC OS X 10.5.6) to 10.6 Snow Leopard;
- upgrade to Mac OS 10.6.1;
- upgrade RPCemu to 0.8.5.
I'd like to ask if anyone has succesfully run RPCemu spoon on Mac OS
10.6.1 yet at all please?
I particularly question it as when I run RPCemu (from Terminal), it
currently shows a message "Warning
once: This application, or a library it uses, is using
NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps
should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz" which I guess is
regarding Allegro-4.2.2 (??). I did
some web searches on that message which didn't suggest anything
serious but of course I want to make sure Snow Leopard won't
introduce problems. Has anyone done this upgrade and/or resolved
that error message?
I can't answer your question directly, but the warning about
NSQuickDrawView appears on Leopard as well.
I have been (slowly) working on patches to RPCEmu to add a Cocoa GUI
and Mac OS X networking support, and my changes are nearly ready for
initial release. At one point I think I had a quick go at using
Allegro 4.9.x but it looked non-trivial because some of the API had
changed.
