pinmame windows/linux SDL2 about pinmame HOT 7 OPEN

Hi and sorry, somehow i didn't notice this issue.. :/
Do you have any new insights by now?

from pinmame.

I got sdl2 somewhat working. ( in my unixsdl2 branch )
There is still a segfault I cannot find but palette shows normal and the debugger is working.

@gnulnulf Any further news here?

Yes, the segfaults were caused by something on my UB20.04 dev instance.
SDL2 Sound is recognizable but it sounds terrible.

I'm not sure where to start on replacing directX7 with SDL2 on windows.

@gnulnulf , You might talk to @francisdb as he did a sdl2 port in Jan that might be relevant - #203

There's a reason why it's still a draft PR.

This is my first modification of C source code. If I remember correctly there are 2 ways of providing sound to SDL2 and I just picked the simplest model to get going. Also don't plan on working on this in the near future. Feel free to take over.

I was distracted by other things ;-)
The linux part works but I think that replacing directX7 with sdl2 would make it more future proof. Personally I use pinmame to test and debug roms.
