Hi,
I downloaded and compiled the complete sdk and some libs from cvs. However I can't get anything to work with sdl. I tested several programs such as reminiscence ps2port and a few others, but all I get with my own compiled versions is a black screen. Could someone please give me some pointers or try the latest sdl version out. Probably I've just forgotten something obvious. I'm developing on linux btw.
SDL CVS working?
No, just started using print_scr in case there was any SDL errors, avoiding printfs. It seems like printf using the method I like (no ps2link, just good and old uLaunchelf and a pendrive) is not a good thing, it gives a black screen often, so just avoid it.
Here is the test code I compiled and works fine:
