[Bug 2429] Review request: gens-gs - Sega Genesis, Sega CD, and Sega 32X emulator

https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2429 --- Comment #4 from Jeremy Newton <alexjnewt(a)gmail.com&gt; 2014-01-02 01:56:28 CET --- Hello again, I've decided to pick this back up after my abandonment a year and a half ago. Here's some new files: SPEC URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42480493/gens-gs.spec SOURCE RPM URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42480493/gens-gs-2.16.7-3.fc20.src.rpm Everything is debundled, some notes: - I disabled lzma support because it bundles what appears to be 7zip, though it seems to build it as a library. From what I know of p7zip, it's just an executable, not a library. I would assume he adapted the code to make it into a bundled library. As it is not vital, I've decided to just disabled the support. I can look into this if it's of interest or if I'm misinformed on 7zip. - I disabled mp3 decode support as I don't quite understand what this library actually comes from. It appears to be custom library with some code derived from libmpg123. Yet again, as it is not vital, I've decided to just disabled the support. I can look into this if it's of interest. - Also to address some of Andrea's questions: Well it seems he's working on Gens-gs II, which is definately a "work in progress". The purpose of this is to rewrite gens gs with a QT GUI, various improvements and higher portability by various means, such as removing 32bit assembly code and adding cross platform support for libraries like opengl. The developer is actively working on it, but it seems he's going at a slow pace and I can't imagine there's a release date set yet. Here's a wiki page outlining his progress (note he has updated it since May 2013): http://segaretro.org/Gens/GS_II That would be a good idea, but with his rewrite, I would assume it's a very low priority for the developer right now. I'm sure if I approach him now, he would just shrug it off. When Gens GS II is has a more foreseeable release, I will approach him to see if he would be interested in using a more free code base. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
