Linux support? about rpcs3 HOT 42 CLOSED

Yeah ;) I would love it.

I just grab the git and playing a round with it...

But stdafx.h and other things make it complicated... (for me)

But i think rpcs3 was built with (possible) Cross Platform Support in mind? (see wxWidgets,OpenGL, WindowsMouseHandler.h and co)

I hope we will see RPCS3 running on Linux in the Future. ;)

from rpcs3.

Can you please write either GNU or cmake build system?

The point is (and that's just my personal opinion, not DH's one) our main goal should be to improve the emulator. After that we could talk about fancy GUIs or making RPCS3 multiplatform. Of course, if someone wants to do it I guess he will be welcomed (e.g. @Mike-PM started a branch for Linux support). However, as I said, working in the emulator is preferred, since currently there is no reason for end-users to use RPCS3.

I hope we will see RPCS3 running on Linux in the Future. ;)

Of course! 😄

from rpcs3.

I did start a branch but I only converted the git-version-gen file, so not much. I would appreciate it if someone else could do something more though!

from rpcs3.

i think you can close this issue now (it wasn´t really an issue) , i think for these questions we have the Rpcs3 forum

from rpcs3.

Well, imo this is in fact an issue, rpcs3 doesn't compile on a Linux environment and this should changed, so I guess the issue can be left opened. It will just stay (probably) open for a long time. 😄

from rpcs3.

@AlexAltea
It won't stay open for a long time 😉 I will do it... I just hoped someone else would spare me from doing so 😢

I just wrote a makefile (it is trivial to do that) but obviously it won't compile just yet. rpcs3 uses some visual studio-specific stuff which I will port later today...

from rpcs3.

@krofna I'm happy that you decided to do this 👍

from rpcs3.

Can someone test if 6026f56e684d7542317869de2aa794a9914cac8b breaks anything?

from rpcs3.

Turns out that mesa currently supports only up to opengl 2.1 for all drivers but intel (which is at 3.3)... which means you'll need closed source driver to run this if you have radeon/nvidia card 😢 ... Closed source radeon is currently uninstallable on my mix of Debian unstable and experimental so porting will have to wait for few days untill I have more time to deal with it...

Aside from that, make -i produces 10k line error log so patches are more than welcome :/
Does 421814a933531646f08f5cfd7cfd9719392ea711 compile on windows? :)

from rpcs3.

Can someone explain what is INFINITE in rpcs3/rpcs3/Emu/SysCalls/lv2/SC_Semaphore.cpp line 69? Is it safe to #define INFINITE (~((u64)0))?

from rpcs3.

declaration on VS
#define INFINITE 0xFFFFFFFF // Infinite timeout

from rpcs3.

Any progress?

from rpcs3.

@afischer15
My fork compiles on linux (I didn't send pull request with last commit because it's kinda hacky, I used GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES instead of loading extensions propertly...). Try it: https://github.com/FGRE/rpcs3

from rpcs3.

Oh, and one more thing: If you want to compile it without wine, you need to remove winapi code which I didn't bother porting.

from rpcs3.

@krofna
How do you compile it with winelib?

from rpcs3.

@NotKit
cmake . -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/wineg++
But you also need wine build of wxwidgets

Is much better idea.

from rpcs3.

Huh?

Huh?

from rpcs3.

I don't understand what you posted, Is that an update to a file in your repository?

from rpcs3.

Its a hack I suggested to @NotKit (and others) to build rpcs3 without wine...

from rpcs3.

okay, Thank you

from rpcs3.

Could you send me the .diff file you created? Unless it was some other kind of file, Because, I tried making one from that text, And it didn't work for me.

from rpcs3.

... diff contains exactly that. You can apply with with patch < file.diff

from rpcs3.

Applies on 6fa17e1

from rpcs3.

@krofna These are the changes I had to make to finally compile it without Wine:
http://pastebin.ws/f2075a
Strangely, some files were missing from CMakeLists.txt and I had to undo your move of Module::AddFunc to Modules.cpp for GCC.

from rpcs3.

@NotKit
Thanks for that patch! I modified it a bit: 1d318f4

• It is not zlib, it is ZLIB (Because of FindZLIB.cmake file)
• Since you are finding ZLIB with cmake then it is also good idea to link it with cmake

from rpcs3.

In the above closed bug (#45) Alex mentioned why this bug is still open despite rpcs3 compiling under linux. I've copy & pasted it here for posterity:

"Note that even if RPCS3 compiles, the emulator won't be able to run any ELF files due to Windows-only lines in the VFS among other reasons. Until these problems are fixed, issue #20 should remain open."

from rpcs3.

Btw. the VFS issues are pretty much fixed, there's some issues with the memory system though. For some reason most homebrews run into a memory related issue. Reading a NullBlock, getting an invalid opcode or similar.

from rpcs3.

Thank you Bigpet, that is valuable knowledge.

Those do seem like odd issues to be hitting on linux only. Wouldn't those be far into the emulation and past the platform specific components? Either way thank you for working on this.

from rpcs3.

@daniel-dressler They should indeed be beyond platform specific but I wasn't able to compile rpcs3 under Windows with GCC or Clang (not that I tried hard). So I can not tell you whether this is an issue with Linux or with any non-MSVC compiler.

I have tested it with both GCC and Clang on Linux though, and they both behave consistent (fail for the same reasons).

from rpcs3.

It's no surprise that it runs into a run-time issue. It currently builds with -fpermissive -w which is generally a bad idea™. I added those options because I couldn't fix all errors in one shot.

from rpcs3.

@krofna I compiled it with Clang without -fpermissive and the only thing that's stuck is the decompiled lz implementation which I fixed locally and that doesn't help matters.

from rpcs3.

Latest builds of RPCS3 will run the gs_gcm_cube.elf :) - if you manage to get lucky and beat the race condition!

from rpcs3.

I don`t see any elfs/games apearing under game list on linux. Is this normal, is this a bug specific to linux or should I run the elfs in a commandline way or something ?

from rpcs3.

@otenki The bundled samples don't appear in the game-list on any platform, you need to manually open them.

from rpcs3.

Linux is fully supported now. Only blocker for me is #564 as it will make the emulator pause every time it encounters OpenGL non-Core profile calls.
This would be the same on OSX.
You can get around this by disabling RSX_DEBUG or just removing the Emu.Pause().

from rpcs3.

Does anyone plan to package this for ubuntu/debian and make a PPA? If not, i'm an ubuntu developer and could host a PPA, then eventually get it into the official archive

from rpcs3.

It's probably a really bad idea to get this into a PPA atm, in such a "alpha" state. People would assume it's somewhat usable to emulate PS3 games..

from rpcs3.

Noskcaj10, While I think that it would be a bad idea to try to get rpcs3 into any kind of: "official" repository, I think a private PPA would be totally fine! I would totally add it to my system!

from rpcs3.

can this project compile now on linux without any problems? Are some features not working on linux? I dont know since i dont use linux, but if there are none, this issue can be closed imo.

from rpcs3.

It has been successfully ported with no lacking features or other differences to my knowledge and in my experience.
