This project is currently dead, so we might consider removing this package
in the future.
rather than PKG_FAIL_REASON, so that they provide useful error
messages in build logs, and so that they continue to work on platforms
where they aren't broken.

Change most pkgs to depend on either
emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application (normal pkgs) or
Makefile.common (suse91 and suse themselves) to filter out Operating
Systems without Linux ABI support. Use CPU masks to limit the pkg to
supported platforms.
rely on counting of played samples, which can get out of sync.
This may work on other platforms too, but I cannot test it.

aalib-x11 and aview-x11.
SDL dependencies change, so bump PKGREVISION (and BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED)
for affected packages.

Changes from 1.101:
- Everything from MAME 0.102 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.102 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- Fixed a bug that could afflict MESS console emulations by preventing
the keyboard from working.
- The default ALSA buffer size is now 50000ms instead of 250000ms,
which reduces lag.
- Advancing frame-by-frame using shift-P works again. Bugzilla bug 787.
- When the setup menu is closed, the keyboard state is cleared. This
prevents the key press that closes the menu from affecting the
emulation. This replaces the fix from 0.97, which wasn't working
anymore and caused the frame-by-frame advancing to break besides.

XPM reader, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially
crafted XPM images (CVE-2005-3186, CVE-2005-2976).
Thanks to <smb> for the notice.
- Fixed several compilation warnings and errors for different platforms (Volker)
- Fixed FPU tag word restore in FXRSTOR instruction (Stanislav)
- Added missing scancodes for F11 and F12 to BIOS translation table (Volker)
- Bochs disassembler bugfixes (h.johansson)
- About 5% emulation speed improvement (h.johansson)
- Handle writing of zero to APIC timer initial count register (Stanislav)
- Enable Idle-Hack for 'TERM' GUI (h.johansson)
- Reduced overhead of BX_SHOW_IPS option to minimum. Now every simulation
could run with --enable-show-ips without significant performance
penalty. (Stanislav)
- Fixed pcipnic register access (Volker)
- Limited write support for TFTP server in 'vnet' networking module added (Volker)
- Changed some timing defaults changed to more useful values (Volker)
- WinXP/2003 style common controls now supported (Vitaly Vorobyov)
- Updated LGPL'd VGABIOS to version 0.5c (Volker)
- New floating point emulator based on SoftFloat floating point
emulation library.
- improved x86-64 emulation
- Cirrus SVGA card emulation added
- status bar with indicators for keyboard, floppy, cdrom and disk (gui dependant)
- many improvements in Bochs emulated I/O devices (e.g. PCI subsystem)
User-visible change between release 0.3.6.2 and 0.3.7 include:
o) The experimental PowerPC emulation mode is now working well enough
to allow NetBSD/prep 2.1 to be installed and run inside the emulator.
It is not 100% stable, and it is not optimized for performance yet,
but hopefully enough for simple experiments.
o) I finally took the time to implement a DEC 21143 NIC; this brings
network connectivity to NetBSD/cats. (The userland "NAT"-like
networking layer is still a bit buggy, and does not work with
everything. However, NetBSD/cats can now be installed via ftp.)
o) CD-ROM images can now in some cases be detected as ATAPI CD-ROMs
instead of IDE harddisks. It works for at least NetBSD, OpenBSD,
and Linux on CATS, and NetBSD on hpcmips.
Internal (code related) changes include:
o) Cleanup of the PCI and ISA bus frameworks; in practice this means
that more code can be shared between different emulated machine
models than before, and that adding new machine types will become
easier.
o) Dyntrans updates; 32-bit PowerPC mostly, but also many performance
related updates for ARM.
