Emulator brings x86 Linux apps to ARM devices


ingoreis said:
Hi there is a newer Exagear Version out.
I installed it with Ubuntu14.04 and the Sound Problem is still there.
Will try that 3D Part with Glshim Remote these Days.
Yesterday i startet the first little Things like:
- a RpgmakerVX Game(slow because Sound Error)
- YugiOh for PC(good Playable)
- Tirtanium3D Benchmark(not working yet)
-WindowsVersion of Steam(had connect Error for now)

Next Steps are to try:
-get the Sound better working again
-get the 3D System up with Glshim
-try the Linux X86 Steam Version
-when 3D work then a fresh compile of the latest X86Wine
-then try Ragnarok and Descent3 again :)

@lunixbochs
@Ptitdeb
Is there a Way to zoom Games from 800x600 to the Pandora Display with 800x480 with Glshim?

The Sound Error in. Exagear is with the Dmix again and an Error about Audio Timing.
Maybe you have a Hint here for me?
Google helped me not much here.

Ragnarok

I put some informations on the ragnarok thread, it seems that we can use some way to make it Linux friendly. We can also set a local serveur to play alone without Internet.

But i want to play on the Official Servers :)

A Local Server is not realy a Solution for me because the Ragnarok Online Data Files are Copyrighted.

First i have to try to solve that Audio Error again.
I made that in the Past with an older Exagear Version but unfortunaly i do not renember how i did solved this.

I see! To me, the best thing to do is to find a client launcher that allows you to connect to every server (iRO client) in case official RO server closes.

It would be really sad not to be able to connect to another server and to be obliged to download data again, with an other client launcher.
 
@ingoreis: I could use steamcmd with Exagear (I don't remember if it was linux or windows version, I think it was the Windows one). I've used that to retrieve the Jedi Outcast files.
If you compile the glshim stuff, could you provide the binaries ?
I still haven't updated exagear, and I'm not sure when I'll have time to do it, but if I get time I could do some tests on my side.
 
I enjoyed playing King of Dragon Pass, and it allowed me to install Gog and Steam games that don't have a Linux version but can run on the Pandora.
 
As far as games are concerned, the list of non D3D/OpenGL games that don't have a port and can't be run through Dosbox is pretty limited. I guess it's the best way to run Fallout 1 and 2, though I haven't tried. With the 3D support it might get a bit more interesting.

So nobody has tried Fallout so far?
 
I found a custom version of wine called CrossOver on the web, maybe it could works, but it has to be ported first.

CrossOver is not really a custom version of Wine, it's the dev branch of WINE - the developers of WINE (most of them) develop CrossOver.

Oh, I see! It seems to work on some softwares that don't work with wine. They released the version 15.0.1's code source. Maybe we can have it ported on Pandora /Pyra.

CrossOver is the version of wine that comes with paid support by CodeWeavers (the company that employs several key wine developers). It is not the development branch. Even though it contains several (suitably licensed) changes on top of upstream wine to make supported apps work better, these are usually not adopted directly by wine, because of their hacky nature. Buying CrossOver is probably a good method to support the wine project.
 
Hi,

I installed exagear using the pandora-inst.sh script. Everything went fine.

But when i run exagear now I'm getting an error /usr/sbin/service: No such file or directory.

Would anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what might be going on.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Shaun.

Hi all, sorry to revive this thread..
I had to make some effort to get me a new download for exagear as the old one I had and never installed had an error in it.
The latest version is 2.1 and it came out on the 12th of april. There should have been an email about it from eltech but I never got that, now I do ;)

But anyway, the Pandora installer by @dimag0g is not good anymore. I edited some stuff in the script to represent the right filenames that came with the latest exagear and it installed fine but exagear doesn't run as it says the installation is corrupted and I need to re-install. I then simply tried the install script that came with exagear but that says I need to uninstall the old version first. I'm lost now, can some one tell me how to undo this
Code: 
#!/bin/bash
