# SDLMAME 0.135u3
# by Olivier Galibert and R. Belmont
# Additional code by Sven Gothel, couriersud, and Vas Crabb.
#
# For Linux/Unix, Mac OS X (both PPC and Intel), FreeBSD, Win32, and OS/2 systems.
# Portable to anything remotely POSIX-y with SDL 1.2.11 or higher available.
#
# Note: the Win32 target is not intended to compete with baseline MAME - it's 
#       simply a demonstration that SDLMAME works well with that OS.

Changes from 0.135u2
====================
1) Up to date with baseline 0.135u3 (RB)


For PowerPC Macs and the PS3, you must set "BIGENDIAN=1".

For 64-bit processors and OSes you must set "PTR64=1".

For non-x86/x64/PowerPC targets (e.g. ARM or MIPS) you must set "NOASM=1".

NOTE: The makefile should be fully SMP safe, so use make -j3 for dual-core 
and -j5 for quad-core to build MAME at speeds never before achieved.

Known problems: 

* On Mac OS X you must use SDL 1.2.13 or later to avoid crash problems.
  SDL 1.2.14 and Snow Leopard are necessary to build 64-bit and get faster
  3D games (Intel only, sorry).

* Do not use -mt (multithreading) on Mac OS X at this time.  This affects only
  offloading the final blit - you will still get the full benefit of multiple
  processors automatically on the heavier/3D games.

* MAME's core has some big-endian problems still - this causes some games to 
not work or work improperly on systems with a PowerPC CPU, including older 
Macs and the Playstation 3.  In the case of Neo-Geo games, when the real 
parent set doesn't work often some clone/bootleg sets will.  For instance 
kof2003 is broken right now, but the 4 bootleg/clone sets all run fine.  
Ironically MAME's PowerPC core is not big-endian safe so PPC-based arcade 
games won't emulate properly on systems with a PPC CPU.			3

* Neither scale2x nor -prescale are supported for games with video overlays
(currently  Dragon's Lair and the American Laser Games games, none of which 
are actually playable yet).  Use -video soft to see the alg.c games run as 
they do on baseline.  (This will of course be fixed if/when video is actually 
added).


Recommended benchmark switches: -nosound -video none -nothrottle -str 90 -window
But feel free to customize.


Requirements
============
GCC: 4.0 or later (4.1.2 or later is recommended).  Older or newer 
versions may expose you to compile problems.
SDL: 1.2.13 or later.  You can get away with versions as old as 1.2.10 on
Linux/Unix, but I don't recommend it.


Build instructions
==================

Linux: make sure you have SDL and it's development packages installed via 
apt-get, yum, emerge, or whatever your distro of choice uses.  If you're 
not sure, consult the distro cookbook at:

http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=35138


For native 64-bit x86-64, you should build with PTR64=1.

For Linux/PPC (including the PlayStation 3) you should build with 
BIGENDIAN=1.

NOTE: you will now need OpenGL headers and libraries as well.  If you're 
running either ATI or NVIDIA's binary-only drivers you've definitely got them.
Otherwise you may need to install the "MesaGL" and "MesaGL-devel" packages.  

NOTE: if you do not have hardware accelerated OpenGL you should not try to 
enable it, it'll just go horribly slow.

--

Mac OS X: you'll need Xcode 2.3 or later (a free download from 
developer.apple.com) and SDL 1.2.13. Get SDL from www.libsdl.org, click the 
"SDL 1.2" download link in the sidebar, then scroll down to "Mac OS X" under
"Runtime Libraries".  Download the "SDL-1.2.13.dmg" disk image and open it.  
Click 'Macintosh HD' or whatever your Mac's hard disk is named in the left 
pane of a Finder window, then open the Library folder and drag the 
SDL.framework folder from the SDL disk image into the 'Frameworks' folder. 

Next unzip the SDLMAME source in your home directory.

For Intel Macs, type make TARGETOS=macosx 
For PowerPC Macs, type make TARGETOS=macosx BIGENDIAN=1


NOTE: if you experience issues with OpenGL mode make sure your OS X is up to 
date first, especially for Tiger (10.4.x) on Intel Macs.

--

Win32: First, download SDL 1.2.13.  Go to www.libsdl.org and click "SDL 1.2" 
under "Downloads".  Scroll down to "Development libraries" and open 
"SDL-devel-1.2.11-mingw32.tar.gz".  Assuming you have WinZip ora compatible 
archiver installed it should open automatically.  Decompress it into C:\, where 
it will create the "SDL-1.2.11" folder.  Open that folder.  Drag the "bin" and 
"lib" folders into your MinGW installation (note: it must be a mame.net style 
install, raw MinGW will not work).  Finally, create a new folder "SDL" inside
"include" in your MinGW install (e.g. MinGW\include\SDL) and copy the contents 
of SDL-1.2.11\include into that folder.

Now type mingw32-make TARGETOS=win32

Unlike normal MAME, you'll need the SDL.dll from the SDL package in order to 
run it, so don't try moving it to another machine without that file 
accompanying it.

NOTE: MinGW appears to already come with sufficient OpenGL headers and 
libraries to build.  If problems occur, make sure your video card drivers are 
up to date.

--

Other: SDLMAME should work with very little effort on other SDL targets, 
especially Unix and Unix-like ones.  Start with the Linux target and 
modify as necessary.  For non-Intel systems, turn off the X86_*_DRCs.  
For big-endian systems, use BIGENDIAN=1.  If you get SDLMAME 
running on other platforms, let us know.

-------------------------------------

Run-time options:

Most of these are the same as for the Win32 version of MAME and so familiarity with that program will
pay off here.  The video options behave somewhat differently, however, so they get special coverage.

Please see docs/windows.txt for the baseline windows options - just ignore the stuff about DirectX :-)
If you're not sure about what Windows options SDLMAME supports, run it with the -showusage switch.

-keymap: set to 1 to use a keymap file.  These are used to work around non-US keyboards due to limitations
 in SDL.  Use in conjunction with -keymap_file.

-keymap_file: specify a keymap file to use.  Must have -keymap 1 for this to work.  Supplied keymaps in the
 keymaps/ directory are:

 km-ch.txt - Swiss keyboard on Linux
 km-de.txt - German keyboard on Linux
 km-fr.txt - French keyboard on Linux
 km-fr-OSX.txt - French keyboard on Mac OS X

If you have a non-US keyboard which is not one of those types, please refer to this thread for information on
how to make your own:

http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=32956&page=1&fpart=2

Pay close attention to the posts by "couriersud".  We hope to translate this into normal text documentation
at some point as well.

-oslog: Turns on logging and shows it in the console/terminal window you started SDLMAME from.  For technical
 users / developers only.

-mt / -multithreading: Enables limited support for multiple CPUs.  This is not a magic speedup and may cause
 instability.  Do not use at all on Mac OS X or you *will* crash!

-sdlvideofps: Shows performance data on SDLMAME's video code.

-video: "soft" uses software rendering, which is slower but more compatible.  "opengl" uses OpenGL and your
 graphics accelerator to speed up many aspects of drawing MAME including compositing artwork, overlays, and
 bezels, as well as stretching the image to fit your screen.  "opengl16" also uses OpenGL, but with a different
 texture format that some graphics cards/chips may prefer.  "none" does no drawing and is intended for
 CPU benchmarking.

If your video card doesn't support OpenGL you can still get hardware scaling with -yuvmode:

-scalemode: "none" (default) no yuv overlay, current "SOFT" rendering, "yuy2": yuy2 overlay, "yuy2x2": yuy2 
overlay using x2 prescaling, "yv12": yv12 overlay, "yv12x2": yv12 overlay using x2 prescaling.

When this is enabled, you'll see a status printout "YUV Acceleration:" - if it's "Hardware" you're getting
hardware scaling and can resize the window with no worries about slowdown.

Within SDLMAME you can switch between the modes using

CTRL-F8: previous yuv mode
CTRL-F9: next yuv mode

-window: Enable window mode rather than fullscreen.  This is a fully-featured window mode where the 
 window resizes as necessary to track what the game does, and you can also resize it in the usual way.

-keepaspect / -ka: Forces the correct aspect ratio.  This means when you're resizing the window in windowed
 mode the actual game image will resize in discrete steps to maintain the proper shape of the game graphics.
 If you turn this off you can resize the window to anything you like and get funny squishing and stretching.
 The same applies for full-screen.

-numscreens: For future (SDL 1.3) use.  Keep set to "1" unless you like crashing.

-extra_layout / -layout: Specify a layout file to use instead of any built-in ones for this game.

-switchres: Affects full screen mode only.  Chooses if SDLMAME can try to change the screen resolution
 (color depth is normally left alone) when in full-screen mode.  If it's off, you always get your desktop
 resolution in full-screen mode (which can be useful for LCDs).

-fullstretch / -fs: Allows stretching in non-integer steps.  Video purists should stay far, far away from this
 option, while everyone else will be happy to know that it lets you fill the screen properly in full-screen 
 mode.

-screen0 / -screen: For future (SDL 1.3) use.  Keep on "auto" for now.

-aspect0 / -screen_aspect: Select the aspect ratio of your monitor, in colon form (e.g. "4:3" or "16:9").
 This affects full-screen mode only, so if you have a widescreen monitor you should set it's proper ratio here.
 Autodetect will only work if you use the monitor's native resolution, which can get extremely slow in 
 "soft" mode.  It's normally not a problem when using OpenGL.

-resolution0 / -resolution / -r: Select the resolution to use in full-screen mode.  "-switchres" must be
 enabled for this to work.

-view0 / -view: Select the named view to use.

OpenGL switches (no effect for -video soft):

-gl_notexturerect (set to 0 if you experience corruption in OpenGL mode.  Will reduce performance)

-gl_forcepow2texture  (set to 1 if you experience corruption in OpenGL mode.  Will reduce performance)

-gl_vbo (set to 1 if you have a newer video card for a performance increase, turn off if corruption occurs)

-gl_pbo (set to 1 if you have a newer video card for a performance increase, turn off if corruption occurs)

-gl_glsl (set to 1 to offload some more work to your video card via pixel shaders - requires OpenGL 2.0)

-gl_glsl_filter (set to 0 for no filter, 1 for bilinear, and 2 for Gaussian blur - requires gl_glsl set to 1)

-gl_glsl_vid_attr (set to 1 to have the video card handle brightness/contrast/gamma - can be a good 
 performance boost on some games)

 Joystick switches (Use mame -v to see which joysticks are recognized)
 
 -joy_idx1	<Joystick name>
 ....
 -joy_idx8  <Joystick name>
 
 Default is auto. With these options you can assign a joystick to a 
 specific index in mame. Even if the kernel will list the joysticks
 in a different order on the next boot, mame will still see the joystick
 as e.g. "Joystick 2".
 
 Similar options "-mouse_idx[1-8]" and "-keyboard_idx[1-8]" are supported 
 for SDL1.3 builds.
