Well, it's a cute little trick; you have to know how dropscript works in order to figure it out

When dropscript bundles up the executable, it actually sticks it in the Resources subfolder, and calls it script. The Dropvj file in the MacOS subfolder is really a shell app that calls the real vj. So, all you have to do is move the rest of the stuff that is normally in the same folder as the vj app into the Resources folder. Everything then runs smoothly (from a MacOS standpoint -- the emulation is still dog slow).

OK, I take all that back with this latest compile
I had to stick my vj.cfg file in ~/vj.cfg and my roms in the same dir as vj in order to get anything to work.

[quote=awarlock@eaglec]I'll try this in the AM.

The U-Man: You say (Copy your folder "virtualjaguar-macosx"). Where do I place the "virtualjaguar-macosx" Folder? On the desktop or where? I have (2) hard drives. The first is named "Macintosh HD" and the other hard drive is named "Macintosh HD 2".

Sorry , you must place the "virtualjaguar-macosx" Folder in your User Folder on the same Hard Drive of your start-up system (!):

For example if Macintosh HD is your boot Hard drive then :

Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/vj.cfg (with the modifications in my last post !)
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx/vj
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx/bios
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx/bios/jagboot.rom
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx/ROMs
Macintosh HD/User/UserFolder/virtualjaguar-macosx/ROMs/Alien vs Predator (1994).j64

is it clear this time ?

[awarlock@eaglec]

OK!!! :bounce: I'm in!!

Thanks to The U-Man!! That worked!!

I can quit bothering everybody now!! vj is up and running!!

Messed around with avp and one or two others. The frame rate was a little low so that's probably what is screwing up the sound on avp as well.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

Yeah, there's a small(!) problem in VJ with respect to locating the vj.cfg file--at the moment it simply has to be somewhere in your path (ugh). A fix should be in CVS shortly. Also: can someone with MacOSX run the following in a terminal window and post the results here:

echo $OSTYPE

[Shamus]

Adam: CVS has been updated with the new unified Makefile and the OSX changes you added. I need to you check it out and make sure that it works for you.

I've also fixed the config file locating code. Now it will look in the CWD, then the $HOME directory, then in the $HOME/.vj directory, then anywhere in the path. If it doesn't find it, it uses defaults (BIOS, EEPROMs, ROMs under the CWD).

Here is my result (I am on Mac OS 10.3.3) :
darwin7.0

awarlock: I am happy to help you !

Strange, it gives me just "darwin" (10.3.3)

% echo $OSTYPE
darwin

Whoops... that's under 10.3.3 workstation.

10.3.2 server appears to return the following:

$ echo $OSTYPE
darwin7.0

[_Em]

Also:
echo $MACHTYPE
powerpc
(under 10.3 workstation)
echo $MACHTYPE
powerpc-apple-darwin7.0
(under 10.3 server)
--just in case you were curious

[_Em]

Oh well... might as well do this:
OS X 10.3 Workstation:
HOSTTYPE=powermac
VENDOR=apple
OSTYPE=darwin
MACHTYPE=powerpc

OS X 10.3 Server:
HOSTTYPE=powermac
VENDOR=apple
OSTYPE=darwin7.0
MACHTYPE=powerpc-apple-darwin7.0

and for comparison:

Debian 3:
HOSTTYPE=i386
VENDOR=pc
OSTYPE=linux-gnu
MACHTYPE=i386-pc-linux-gnu

[_Em]

Under OS X 10.2 Workstation:
MACHTYPE: powerpc
OSTYPE: darwin
HOSTTYPE: macintosh
VENDOR: apple

[The U-Man]

Very strange !!!!

On my PowerMAC G5 Bi-2GHz with Mac OS X 10.3.3 (standard not server !)
It gave me this :

echo $OSTYPE
darwin7.0

echo $MACHTYPE
powerpc-apple-darwin7.0

echo $HOSTTYPE
powerpc

echo $VENDOR
(nothing)

:-(

A fix for the inversed coordinates was just committed to SDL CVS (it was a bug after all), so you can pull out the fix and the ifdefs are no longer needed. The makefile I put up is fine for inclusion (just take out -DMACOSX or whatever define I used, I can't be bothered to check ).

[The U-Man]

Happy to see I was right !

Can we expect a new binarie for Mac OS X to be release soon ?
