RE: ubee512 macOS - kazjim - 13-11-2023
16" Macbook Pro (2021) running Sonoma here (M1 MAX) If you are looking for another tester
(I did work experience at Microbee in Koala Cres and Erina street in Gosford in the late 80s!)

I am progressing along and have built MacOS binaries back to High Sierra ( in VM that is ) from the Makefile
These are Intel builds though and not for Apple Silicon
When I have a bit more time, I'll see whether the Xcode version can be made to spit out a universal binary
Thanks
Tony

Great to have ex-Microbee employees here, welcome aboard

uBee512 v6.0.7 dev has arrived
Source can be found at https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=B32DC7ED1E16A876%212972&authkey=!AMvJkuPOZ-fp0SI
Binaries can be found at https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=B32DC7ED1E16A876%212973&authkey=!AI7lMIC-8v0bOZI
Successfully compiles using Make on
* High Sierra
* Mojave
* Catalina
* Big Sur
* Monterey
* Ventura
* Sonoma
The above builds are Intel only.
Apple Silicon binaries will come later ( or you can roll your own )
I have used MacPorts to provide libsdl, libdsk and libzzip libraries
One thing to note : neither building from source or using MacPorts/HomeBrew install the header file zzip/__hints.h. This can be found in the source file under src/zzip
The High Sierra build using SDL1.2 and will resize the window properly under OpenGL mode
Others use SDL12-compat and exhibits the behaviour discussed earlier in this thread
You might get some odd error messages from the different builds
Unable to obtain graphics context for NSWindow (Mojave behavior)
or
Unable to create basic Accelerated OpenGL renderer.
Core Image is now using the software OpenGL renderer. This will be slow.
Doesn't seem to make any appreciable difference to function
Binaries have been built to look for dynamic libraries in /opt/local/lib
Copy the provided .dylib files there or install your own via MacPorts/HomeBrew
Keen for people to give the binaries a whirl before I submit the code to the official repository
Thanks
Tony

Thanks for that Tony, how does one actually install it on a M<ac as I know zero on a Mac use ? Do I just drag the folder to the Macs desktop, add ROM, DISKS, etc + their files ?
RE: ubee512 macOS - fathertedcrilly - 10-12-2023
Here is the Apple Silicon build of v6.0.7
https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=B32DC7ED1E16A876%213044&authkey=!AIHV17o4cdtaKsw
Copy the *.dylib files into /opt/local/lib
Copy the folders under share into /usr/local/share/ubee512
In both cases, you may need to create missing subfolders
Copy the necessary rom and disk files (from the MSPP repository) to ~/.ubee512/roms and ~/.ubee512/disks
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Tony

Father,
Do you have plans to upgrade ubee512 to use SDL 2?

That is the plan
As well as a GUI wrapper around app
Most likely once I forward the v6.0.7 code and binaries to the original developer ( ubee ) to post on the MSPP repository
Thanks

RE: ubee512 macOS - fathertedcrilly - 22-12-2023
Santa-related activities have delayed submission of ubee512 v6.0.7 source and binaries.
However, I have built v6.0.7 on Debian 12 arm64
and on a RPI3B+ running Raspberry Pi OS ( Debian Bookworm 32bit )
I will try and get a build for Windows working as well
Seasons greetings
Tony

When you have successfully built it, please do publish the procedures used to do so.
