Sort through compatibility list...

icculus commented 3 years ago

Awhile ago, I put a call out for software that's still known to use SDL 1.2, and this is what showed up:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u8Rq3LVQYYgu28sBuxrZ371QolbiZu5z_LjENc4ddZs/edit?usp=sharing

I haven't gone through much of this yet, but it's a good list of testable things for sdl12.-compat. When there's time, someone should try some of these games and apps.

As it doesn't seems to be available for all distributions but is probably going to be handy for others, gentoo can list of reverse-dependencies (for a lot of them there is alternate options like SDL2 though, this is anything which can pull SDL-1.2): https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-libs/libsdl/reverse-dependencies

A similar list can be produced for Arch.

Here's the output of `pactree -sr sdl`

not sure what exactly youre looking for during the test. i just check that it loads fullscreen or windowed, keyboard and mouse input works, audio plays. no errors report in the terminal output.

d1x-rebirt tested, loads fine plays fine.

scummvm uses SDL2 since version 2.5? not sure when this was changed. possibly between 2.1 - 2.2 although not all platforms (android?) might not be using SDL2 yet. scummvm_2.5.1-1_ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb

linux

quake4

built sdl12-compat:i386 library

tested with quake4.x86 and quake4smp.x86

seems to be working correctly menus, alt tab, console, in game, opengl, etc.

icculus commented 2 years ago

So a lot of the list has been tested over time, and Fedora is shipping sdl12-compat as their only SDL 1.2 implementation (and I noticed that Ubuntu 22.04 has it as an optional package you can choose instead of classic SDL 1.2), so it seems like general consensus is this doesn't suck for compatibility, and lots of people will be testing automatically for us.

Going forward, we'll just deal with specific issues in specific apps, like the OpenXcom bug in #185, etc, as they pop up.
