Hatari UI
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hatari UI is an out-of-process user interface for the Hatari Atari
|
||
|
|
ST/STe/TT/Falcon emulator and its built-in debugger which can
|
||
|
|
(optionally) embed the Hatari emulator window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Having the UI in another process allows doing it with a higher level
|
||
|
|
language while avoiding adding GUI toolkit dependencies to Hatari
|
||
|
|
itself. The UI is done with PyGtk i.e. in Python language, using the
|
||
|
|
Gtk widget set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main points of this new UI over the Hatari internal one are its
|
||
|
|
configurability, more usable file selector, internationalization
|
||
|
|
support and providing a GUI for the (console based) debugger included
|
||
|
|
with the Hatari emulator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: this is an additional UI, the built-in Hatari SDL UI isn't being
|
||
|
|
replaced or going anywhere!

Requirements
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My guess at the required versions for the dependencies are:
|
||
|
|
- Python >= 2.6
|
||
|
|
- PyGtk >= 2.12 (on Debian/Ubuntu PyGtk is in python-gtk2 package)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hatari UI is included with the Hatari sources:
|
||
|
|
http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari/file/tip/python-ui
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hatari UI has been tested on several Linux versions. I would assume
|
||
|
|
it to work also on other unix systems such as Apple OSX. It may work
|
||
|
|
with the Hatari Windows version, as long as it is built with socket
|
||
|
|
support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Embedding the Hatari emulator window is currently supported only for
|
||
|
|
systems using an X window system (from libSDL sources it would seem
|
||
|
|
that Windows would also support window embedding, but support for that
|
||
|
|
would need to be added both to Hatari and Hatari UI because SDL's
|
||
|
|
own embedding disables all keyboard events in SDL program).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are instructions on installing the dependencies for non-Linux
|
||
|
|
platforms (neither tested nor supported as I don't use/have them):

Running
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Being a Python program, Hatari UI doesn't need to be built.
|
||
|
|
You can just run it from where you extracted it (or checked
|
||
|
|
it out of TuxFamily HG repo) by calling its wrapper script:
|
||
|
|
/path/to/script/hatariui
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or you can run just the debugger:
|
||
|
|
/path/to/script/debugui.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But you can also install it to system along with Hatari:
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hatari UI runs a Hatari version found on $PATH. If you want
|
||
|
|
to use a version of Hatari that hasn't been installed, you
|
||
|
|
need to modify the search path, for example like this:
|
||
|
|
PATH=../build/src:.:$PATH hatariui
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If UI is started without the embedding option, the actions
|
||
|
|
(in menus and toolbars) have also shortcuts. They cannot
|
||
|
|
be used when Hatari window is embedded because then those
|
||
|
|
shortcuts couldn't be used with Hatari.
