SDL Wii and libaesnd

As part of his porting, tueidj made a few custom modifications to SDL Wii and libaesnd. The source and compiled libraries of SDL Wii (incorporating the modified libaesnd) can be found here: http://hendricks266.duke4.net/files/eduke32-wii-sdl-wii-mod-2-with-aesnd.7z

To install the compiled libraries into the devkitPPC folder, type make install.

The modified libaesnd itself is necessary if you plan to compile your own SDL Wii. The patch, the patched source, and the compiled library and include header file can all be found here: http://hendricks266.duke4.net/files/eduke32-wii-libaesnd-mod.7z

Building Instructions

These instructions require Windows or WINE.

  1. Set up Building EDuke32 on Windows using MinGW.
  2. Download and install devkitPPC.
  3. Download the modified SDL Wii. If you want to compile it yourself, at the devkitPro shell, type make clean then make. Either way, type make install to copy the libraries to the devkitPPC library location.
  4. Run wiibuild.bat.

Debugging

Gets the disassembly interspersed with line numbers:

powerpc-eabi-objdump -d -l boot.elf > eduke32.ppcasm

Gets the addresses of various data in the executable:

powerpc-eabi-nm -l boot.elf |sort > symbols.nm

Simplified PPC instruction set

To-Do List

  • CONTROLS!
  • Crashes. It appears that the game crashes whenever the player dies, which at least will help fix the problem.
  • Saving preferences.
  • Compile libogg, libvorbis, and libvpx.
