[hatari-devel] Next Hatari release for OSX

Troed,

We definitely need people who can build UI components for the OS X version. Right now, if Nicolas adds any new options that should be added to the GUI, we do not have anyone to add it to the OS X version.

We also need someone who can look at why SDL2 does not work with the OS X version of Hatari. It currently causes crashes if you compile Hatari with SDL2 and the OS X interface.

Hi Bob,

Will try to take a look at it as soon as possible.

I haven't followed or looked into the Mac GUI - am I correct in understanding that we need someone who can build UI components for OSX? There are Atari sceners who currently work as software engineers at Apple ... :) Should I ask?

Anders,

Based on Jerome’s response, I do not expect the 68060 and TT-RAM preferences to be added to the OS X dialog. I have tried to add preferences in the past, but I do not know enough about the Xcode interface builder to do it successfully.

I have seen the same SDL menu problem when using the Falcon emulation. I do not see it any other time. I do not know what causes the problem.

Troed,

I have created a new nib file that translates the French text that Thorsten found in the OS X interface. You can simply copy over the existing version at hatari/src/gui-osx/English.lproj. If this nib file looks good to you, I will ask for it to be put into the repository.
