RPCEmu run in Haiku

For special geeks, I compiled RPCEmu 0.9.4 for OS Haiku

I doubt that it will be necessary for someone other than me :)

EDIT: You can download fresh build on my RISCOS page

EDIT: Network suppot now. You need build dated 21/02/2022

VERY NICE!!! :) I like Haiku a lot.

Neat. I had the BeOS 3 demo, followed by the BeOS 5 “Personal Edition” back in the day and liked it. Haiku beta 4 is supposed to be out “any day now” so I’m probably going to give it a try when that happens :)

I am running it in Haiku now. Didn’t the JIT build? I will have a look on it.
EDIT

Recompiler builds just fine.. I wonder if it makes any difference. Can’t really say right now.

EDIT2

Recompiler crashes , didn’t build it proper at first.

@ Michael

I wonder if it makes any difference. Can’t really say right now.

The recompiler seems to make a big difference in a lot of cases, look my tests of the recompiler vs native interpreter on the Apple M1 Max. I was executing the JIT generated x86 binary through Rosetta, so double jit and it was still way faster than the pure interpreter, post with info here:

Scroll down for measurements of the recompiler.

Yes I know , but the JIT crashes instant on Haiku. I find it hard to debug :) But who knows. I just found a Haiku compatible gfx board. Was using VESA at first.

the JIT crashes instant on Haiku

I’ve had that several times in the past¹ on Windows, and as I recall it was something related to a corrupt cmos file.
Having fixed it, I then couldn’t reproduce the problem to be able to say definitively “this bit in this file”

¹ A couple of Windows revisions ago, and a few RPCEmu too.

Working now. I just needed to add haiku to the places where linux was ifdeffed in ArmDynarec.c.

My Haiku box is a rather old Core2Duo pc, but I get 100+Mips. That is
about twise the mips I get without JIT. During benchmark I get ~230Mips.
Alll happy!

@Sergei do you want to update your archive?

Small tweak to the key handling to make the Menu key more useful:

	//Extra: handle windows sh-menu key as being left mouse button
	if((Qt::Key_Menu == event->key()) && (event->modifiers() & Qt::ShiftModifier)) {
		emit this->emulator.mouse_press_signal(Qt::LeftButton);
		return;
	}
	//Extra: handle windows Ctrl-menu key as being right mouse button
	if((Qt::Key_Menu == event->key()) && (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier)) {
	emit this->emulator.mouse_press_signal(Qt::RightButton);
		return;
	}

Insert in “main_widow.cpp” before:
// Special case, handle windows menu key as being menu mouse button

NB. Not a programmer, just a twiddler…

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I added all options:
rpcemu-interpreter
rpcemu-interpreter-debug
rpcemu-recompiler
rpcemu-recompiler-debug

I have updated the build 20/02/2022. You can download on my RISCOS page

I can build RPCEmu with NAT network support in Haiku, but network don’t work :(

If someone wants to test, then you can download rpcemu-0.9.4-haiku64-net_20220220.zip

Network worked now in build dated 21/02/2022 (rpcemu-0.9.4-haiku64-net_20220221.zip)

Nice with networking.

It seems like HostFS is broken on Haiku. Many writes fails. So I gave up on RO5 and went with RO4 to get adfs drive support. A mess to get networking running. A good thing is that SunFish works, makes it quite easy to transfer files , despite the lack of ShareFS.

There is a error in keymap haiku. TAB should have 0×01000001 as scancode.

You also want to add:
{ 0×0000005c,{0x5d}},

Without it imposible to write | with usa kbd and # with uk.

When I configure RISC OS to use Swedish keyboard the key with <>| is dead , no reaction RPCEmu doesn’t even register the key press.
