i can't google any binary of atari800 port. i wonder if there is any...

the closest hits i found are here:
http://svn.akop.org/filedetails.php?rep ... ev=78&sc=1
http://svn.akop.org/filedetails.php?rep ... PS2&rev=78

is there anyone with toolchain that can try to compile it? or lack of port is because that it will need aditional coding? i will appreciate any suggestion.

ive not heard of a atari800 port for PS2

On my site http://ps2emu.dcemu.co.uk/ i have all the emulators detailed, but if you find a release i havent seen ill be interested

Accordingly to the first link, there seems to existed a port : :

Code: Select all

To compile use ps2dev from ps2dev.org
Additional libraries neeeded&#58;
gsKit
Additional Modules
usbd.irx, kbd.irx, audsrv.irx
Convert irx modules to *.s via bin2s,
Copy *.s files to src directory.

./configure \
--target=ps2 \
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
--host=mipsel \
--disable-stereosound \
--disable-monitorbreak
make

To install read DOC/INSTALL.ps2

Thanks Piotr of atari800!
Thanks ps2dev! Esp NeoVanglist, author of gsKit.

but the sources at this svn are for the PSP port. I presume the PSP is a port from the PS2 version, but I haven't investigated further...

btw, i was wondering - is there a generic guide on porting software that depends on some open source libraries (that are not part of ps2 toolchain) to ps2?

right now i'm trying to learn C, so that i can at least start to attempt such things.

No, there isn't. Porting software can be fairly complex (not always, but sometimes it's the most complex programming there is). It's not the recommended method for "learning" anything. Learn normally, get experience, and THEN try playing with alternative platforms. If you just HAVE to play with other platforms while learning, use something geared for that, like LuaPlayer. C is not something that can be learned by cross-platform programming.
