Although this post is quite old it seems still relevant and it shoud be nice if it could be added to RetroPie.
I did some investigation about the Philips P2000.
The fastest way of emulating the P2000 is to use DOSbox and the P2000 emulator for DOS.
This is my directory structure :
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/EmuOnDos/Philips_P2000T/M2000.exe (emulator)
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/EmuOnDos/Philips_P2000T/games (.cas files)
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/EmuOnDos/P2000T (all executable .sh starters for .cas files)
An .sh starter contains the following, were as "leeg.cas" can be any .cas file :
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/EmuOnDos/P2000T/leeg.cas.sh :
#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -fullscreen -scaler normal3x -c "@echo off" -c "mount c: ~/RetroPie/roms/EmuOnDos/Philips_P2000T" -c "cls" -c "c:" -c "m2000 -verbose 0 -boot 1 -tape games/leeg.cas" -c "exit"
I also tested the source code on raspbian stretch.
The source code is 22 years old but it still works.
I've got the UNIX/X version working again by adding bpp!=24 in X.c.
Compiled with :
make -f Makefile.X
Installed alsa-oss for OSS emulation though alsa
sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
A proper command, that works from every directory, can be (aoss is for sound):
aoss /your/emulator/dir/m2000 -video 1 -boot 1 -tape /your/emulator/leeg.cas -font /your/emulator/dir/Default.fnt
Beware, the emulator stops if the window is not active, so click on the emulator window.
By the way : "I'm not that good in C programming, still learning".
But it seems that for running this code in RetroPie there are a lot of to do's.
To Do's :
make one universal version that can be run in X and also in RetroPie;
if in a window, add more windows scalablility;
add SDL video and audio;
if SDL audio is a problem then add Alsa audio;
remove SVGAlib version.
Who has a good idea of making the source code work in RetroPie ???
