Rice's Last Video Plugin?

[Draconicus]

Rice has released the source of his 6.1.1 beta 10 plugin. This is apparently his last release and varies quite significantly from the 6.1.0 plugin that's coming with the latest mupen64. His source is very win32-oriented but could easily be ported, I think.
I've been wondering why this hasn't been ported for Mupen64. Texture loading has improved massively between the versions, and the texture loading in the current one doesn't seem to work right anyway.

It doesn't need to be ported to Mupen64, as Mupen uses the standard N64 plugin architecture, it should work as is.

I sort of meant for Linux. It's not like I could just rename the libraries from .dll to .so and expect it to work.

Hacktarux released the source to his port of Rice, so it's just a matter of getting someone like Mudlord to update the Linux port with the latest port

Hmm. Would you be able to give me a direct link to that source?

Ok this thread is completely incoherent. The relevant issue is making the plugin inherently portable, starting with porting it to Linux again. Can someone please change the title of the topic so that it makes any sense? Or even better, delete it and start over.

Mudlord, you are da man, as they say. I appreciate your kind attitude toward the community, and in being so generous with your time during your busy school schedule. I completely support your efforts to modernize Rice and I have helped port the last Linux version (6.1.1 beta 10) to MacOS. ( http://emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=41210 )

Mudlord, do you have any interest in porting to Linux? I would be glad to help you set up a virtual machine for the initial porting effort so you can at least make it compile, and I'd be glad to test it for you. Likewise for MacOS, and you can always have a shell on my system.

If you're willing to try, please post something on your existing dev thread to replace this incoherent mess. And then if it gets underway, I guess maybe you'll start a new thread for testing and feedback.

In the meantime, I'm trying to get your current plugin working in wine on MacOS. Thank you so much for your most talented efforts.

Thanks, words like this make me want to continue working on this. I try to prioritise things, so me fitting in this in with university life isn't that much of a problem. Unless I get swamped with assignment work, that is.

Cool. Thats pretty awesome. Sure thats not the plain 6.1.0 version, and not the latest one?

Yes, I have interesting in porting to Linux. The problem is though with my limited Linux experience, and the resources to do so. So, for me, porting to Linux is quite a learning curve. Although, it wouldnt hurt to try.

Sure thing. If you are interested, I'll put up your MacOS port in my SVN code tree in a seperate branch and you can have SVN access, if you want. Same goes for other devs, the offers there on the table.

Oh okay, thats cool, and thanks for the compilment.

I would say something witty and rude in response, but that would only drag me down to your level.

The search function for these forums isn't the greatest. It doesn't handle keywords very well. I often find threads in repeat searches that didn't show up previously.

I don't mean to gang up, but honestly, man... It's listed on the first page of mupen64 threads. The forums are organized hierarchically. Also it was said that Hacktarux released it and you can search for all posts or threads made by Hacktarux.
