STonX TODO List

Work-In-Progress is marked with a ``*''.

Things that need to be done

• Add better support for S.u.S.E. Linux integration, for seamless upgrades. Make S.u.S.E. (latest version, 5.2 at the moment) the reference distribution to avoid the usual libc/gcc/kernel combination problems.
• [*] Fix CPU emulation bug in BCD arithmetic (?) or CC settings during shifts/rotates.
• Add Joystick support.
• Add MIDI support using Linux's MIDI device.
• Fix portability/compilation problems using an ANSI C compiler with strict conformity checks.
• Fix bug in audio module which causes STonX to hang if the audio device has problems.
• Fix bug in audio module which causes problems with newer Linux kernels due to an increased buffer size somewhere.
• Add better (less obscure) configuration possibilities, better command line options, perhaps a GUI with tk/tcl (there is a curses port, so the problem with both terminal and X support in a controlling GUI could be solved without different GUI frontends).
• Try lcc-win32 for a Win95 port.
• Remove or rewrite the xlib-vdi code.
• Re-design the `native' modules (gemdos.c etc.) for better interoperation with the emulator.
• Check the huge backlog of bug reports for things that need to be fixed.

Resolved issues

Patches and fixes for problems that have not been integrated into the distribution

syscalls.c:

• Compilation fails on Digital Unix 4.0:

  cc: Error: syscalls.c, line 42: Invalid expression.
  };
  ^
  cc: Error: syscalls.c, line 87: In this statement, "gemdos_calls" is not declared.
  	if (n<0 || n>=(sizeof(gemdos_calls)/sizeof(gemdos_calls[0])))
  	------------------------------^
  

  Fix: change the lines 40-42 to read:

  static syscall_desc gemdos_calls[]=
  {
  	NULL
  };
  

• Monochrome displays show a 320x200 window for monochrome mode instead of 640x400.
• SHMMAX is undefined.
