Title: EUAE - Problems on MacMini
Post by: TheMud on August 12, 2009, 04:58:00 PM

I have a MacMini Intel Core Duo

I've been using EUAE on my old iMac G4 for a long time
and now that I've startet using my MacMini, the only thing
I get when I boot my "Amiga" is a green screen.

After a minut Scalos appears. But still. All in Green :-S

Whats wrong ? Anyone ? :-)

Try switching between NTSC and PAL screenmodes.

Didnt help... White is Yellow. Blue is Darkred and so on...

It now works ok. Is it because my Mac is an Intel Core ?

Unlikely, good to hear that it's corrected itself.

I had the same issues earlier.  I bet you have an x86 Mac, while the SDL libs (or the EUAE) was built for PPC.  Endian issues fucks things up, so try downloading for the right architecture and you should be good.

Edit: I don't remember what my solution was, but I think I built the latest SDL myself and everything worked fine.

Well now Im confused. I tried running in Fullscreen Mode as always. Colours are then all wrong. Tried running it in a Window, and now everything is fine :-S

How come Fullscreen doesnt work then ?? :-S

Sounds like the emulator in fullscreenmode doesn't properly detect the pixel format of the framebuffer

It sounds like you have either the PPC version of SDL and are trying to run the intel version of EUAE or you have the intel version of SDL and are trying to run the PPC version of EUAE... Either way, you need to make sure you have the intel (or universal binary) version of both.

But how would that work? For any PPC codee to work Rosetta would have to be installed. Apart from that any PPC code ran on the x86 would surley be emulated and endians reversed to account. If the SDL lib was using the wrong endian everywhere the whole thing would crash!

But I can see how a BGRA framebuffer would be messed up by an ARGB image.

Not really, as endian issues in SDL would largely be limited to very specific tasks such as framebuffer format conversion anyway.
