If you do compile from source (as opposed to just copying over your files from your Leopard system), you will need to force both Allegro and RPCEmu to build in 32-bit mode, and edit one of the files that Allegro installs. I tried installing the binary of 0.8.2 that I built a while back. It ran fine (using RISC OS 4.02) and got to the desktop, where I discovered that the mouse doesn't work (the keyboard is okay, however). There is an Allegro demo program (in allegro-4.2.2/demos) named "exmouse" - if I run this, it tells me I have no mouse. Which is useful. I tried re-compiling from scratch (both Allegro and RPCEmu) and the mouse still did not work. I am using USB Overdrive to tweak the mouse behaviour, so that may be interfering (though, having said that, I used the Microsoft mouse driver on Leopard, and it worked fine). In conclusion: worth a shot, but don't hold your breath... -- [email protected]
