# ES-DE Frontend - Haiku documentation

Note that support for Haiku is currently experimental as the operating system itself is experimental.

There are currently no pre-built packages available so you'll need to build ES-DE yourself. Detailed instructions are available in the _Building on Haiku_ section of the [INSTALL-DEV.md](INSTALL-DEV.md#building-on-haiku) document.

## Known ES-DE problems

* Attempting to use the theme downloader crashes the application when using a nightly Haiku build, this is seemingly caused by an OS or libgit2 library bug as ES-DE runs correctly on R1/beta4 (but with other issues on that release)

* The video player behaves erratic and videos may randomly hang or refuse to play

* Key repeat doesn't work in text editing fields (but it works elsewhere in the application)

* There is no 3D acceleration as the operating system does not support that

* The system configuration has not been fully populated yet so game system support is limited (this will get done eventually)

## Emulator problems

In contrast with all other platforms which ES-DE runs on, on Haiku emulators which are not working correctly are still included in the configuration. This is done with the belief that things will improve in the future as the operating system matures.

**Atari800**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension, and does not seem to be able to correctly emulate any games even if they are uncompressed? (The emulator starts but the games don't.)

**Beetle Lynx**

Games don't start, just displays a black screen.

**blueMSX**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.

**Caprice32**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.

**DOSBox-X (Standalone)**

Games can only be launched if ES-DE has been started from the command line, i.e. from a _Terminal_ window. And when existing a game the OS screen resolution is sometimes not reset back to its previous state meaning it has to be manually reset to the correct resolution using the operating system's _Screen_ utility.

**EasyRPG**

Crashes on game start.

**Flycast**

Too slow to be usable in practice, possibly due to lack of 3D acceleration?

**FS-UAE (Standalone)**

This emulator does not seem to accept command-line arguments, meaning games can't be launched from ES-DE.

**Genesis Plus GX Wide**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension (it works fine in Genesis Plus GX).

**gpSP**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.

**Hatari**

Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension, and IPF files are not supported.

**MAME (Standalone)**

When existing a game the OS screen resolution is sometimes not reset back to its previous state meaning it has to be manually reset to the correct resolution using the operating system's _Screen_ utility.

**PUAE**

Crashes on game start.

**ScummVM (Standalone)**

Games can only be launched if ES-DE has been started from the command line, i.e. from a _Terminal_ window.

**Stella**

Crashes on game start (Stella 2014 works fine).

## Supported game systems

The **@** symbol indicates that the emulator is _deprecated_ and will be removed in a future ES-DE release.

Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00			`# ES-DE Frontend - Haiku documentation`

			`Note that support for Haiku is currently experimental as the operating system itself is experimental.`

			`There are currently no pre-built packages available so you'll need to build ES-DE yourself. Detailed instructions are available in the _Building on Haiku_ section of the [INSTALL-DEV.md](INSTALL-DEV.md#building-on-haiku) document.`

Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`Table of contents:`
Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00
Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`[[_TOC_]]`

			`## Known ES-DE problems`

			`* Attempting to use the theme downloader crashes the application when using a nightly Haiku build, this is seemingly caused by an OS or libgit2 library bug as ES-DE runs correctly on R1/beta4 (but with other issues on that release)`
Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00
			`* The video player behaves erratic and videos may randomly hang or refuse to play`

			`* Key repeat doesn't work in text editing fields (but it works elsewhere in the application)`

			`* There is no 3D acceleration as the operating system does not support that`

Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`* The system configuration has not been fully populated yet so game system support is limited (this will get done eventually)`

Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00			`## Emulator problems`

			`In contrast with all other platforms which ES-DE runs on, on Haiku emulators which are not working correctly are still included in the configuration. This is done with the belief that things will improve in the future as the operating system matures.`

Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`Atari800`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension, and does not seem to be able to correctly emulate any games even if they are uncompressed? (The emulator starts but the games don't.)`

			`Beetle Lynx`

			`Games don't start, just displays a black screen.`

			`blueMSX`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.`

			`Caprice32`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.`

			`DOSBox-X (Standalone)`

			`Games can only be launched if ES-DE has been started from the command line, i.e. from a _Terminal_ window. And when existing a game the OS screen resolution is sometimes not reset back to its previous state meaning it has to be manually reset to the correct resolution using the operating system's _Screen_ utility.`

			`EasyRPG`

			`Crashes on game start.`

			`Flycast`

			`Too slow to be usable in practice, possibly due to lack of 3D acceleration?`

Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00			`FS-UAE (Standalone)`

			`This emulator does not seem to accept command-line arguments, meaning games can't be launched from ES-DE.`

Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`Genesis Plus GX Wide`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension (it works fine in Genesis Plus GX).`

			`gpSP`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension.`

			`Hatari`

			`Can't run compressed game files such as those with the .zip extension, and IPF files are not supported.`

Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00			`MAME (Standalone)`

			`When existing a game the OS screen resolution is sometimes not reset back to its previous state meaning it has to be manually reset to the correct resolution using the operating system's _Screen_ utility.`

			`PUAE`

			`Crashes on game start.`

			`ScummVM (Standalone)`

			`Games can only be launched if ES-DE has been started from the command line, i.e. from a _Terminal_ window.`

Documentation update 2024-08-27 16:41:28 +00:00			`Stella`

			`Crashes on game start (Stella 2014 works fine).`

Documentation update 2024-08-26 20:39:50 +00:00			`## Supported game systems`
