It is trivial. Grab the SDK, my source package, and the newest source tarball. Reapply patches. Fix the (usually) trivial failed patch. Ship.

I am waiting for some consensus on the libsdlttf2.0-0 topic.

Well, new version is up. I personally never upgraded to the "problematic" libsdl-ttf2.0, and this worked for me, so I guess it will work at least for everyone who also did not.

On the good side, I was impressed by the noticeable speed bump in at least one commercial game. Do note that my expectations are usually low, though.

NOTE: You should ensure you have access to older versions of the package before upgrading. If you find it breaks "your favorite game", all I will be able to say is: "Sorry. Try again in a later version" _unless_ the regression was caused by me (for example if it doesn't happen on the Pandora).

I've got latest libsdl-ttf2.0-0 installed and had no issue updating. Plays perfectly and Mario Kart 64 (only game I had time to test) has had a noticeable speed bump.

Very quiet in here. Probably because everyone is going nuts over the Rollercoaster 3D demo (played it, its average).

javispedro thanks for the update :)

I really don't see the speed upgrade tho...
I wonder if we will see someday StarCraft64 playable.

5-10% isn't exactly so noticeable but its a step in the right direction. I am getting at least 2-3FPS more in several games and load/save state will come in handy.

As for StarCraft64, I recall reading it was fixed in most recent version (which Adventus hasn't released) perhaps I am imagining it, however.

Tried Mario 64, It seems a mite bit smoother/faster. Not able to load my save game in Zelda OoT but I understand that's the config issue still. I have tried a few games that would not work before (Indiana Jones/Bangai-o) and they still don't.

But we have an update.....woot. There is still life in the project:)
