Linux build. Please report if it crashes or loads incorrectly.

thaks for this wonderfull feature
and all the time and coffee you guys put in there
(and all the stress with your ladies. complaining that she feels so lonely and why the heck is no coffee left??...)

in case there is a "comatibility list", i tested the windows version with prince of persia without any problems so far

Where is DOSBox configuration for this version? My game requires a memory size of 32

It loads fine. There is no libpng12:i368 on ubuntu 18.10 so I had to search for it and install it manually from Ubuntu 16.04 packages.

One simple (I hope) request. Could you make a text appear on the screen when changing the saveslot so I know which one is active?

Btw: Works fine on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Works fine with Syndicate and Mortal Kombat 2 so far.

Crap .... "save_states_4176_diff.patch" explodes when I try to apply it to SVN r4334. *sigh*

Has anyone by any chance updated the patch to a more current dosbox?

I'm thinking the people who know how to manage this have moved on.

Fairly mechanical update of the mentioned patch to current SVN. Only build-tested (on Linux). Specifically I did not check if additional machine state items were added that would also require saving and restoring.

EDIT: Also pushed here because all this shuffling of huge subversion diffs is really annoying: https://github.com/Ringdingcoder/dosbox-stagi … mits/savestates

Awesome! I'll have to make some time to compile a build for Windows and see how goes.

I was not even aware of the MAME stuff that you mentioned earlier in the thread. I’ll take a look if I find time. This is exactly what I meant with "additional state".

But before that, I will definitely split up the patch a bit in order to make any sense of the individual parts.

Is there a static build of 4176 or later with saves states? Because of the missing shared libraries, when trying to execute the binary, I receive the following:

1dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

even though the file exists and I have libSDL-1.2 installed:

1/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL-1.2.so.0
2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.4

Executing dosbox_r4019_SAV_Linux_Static_bruenor or the latest dosbox release has no such error.

It's probably a 32-bit build, install the 32-bit SDL libraries.

Of course. That was easily installed:

1apt install libsdl1.2debian:i386

However, further dependencies are required from Debian distributions no longer supported.
libpng12.so.0 is the next dependency required, and that hasn't been supported since Jessie.

Given current distributions are on 1.6 and have been for some time, I'm not willing to bring in a deprecated package, no longer supported into a current distribution.
I've tried out r4019 and that seems to work for my situation, so I'll stick with that.
