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 document.

Table of contents:

[[TOC]]

Known ES-DE problems

  • 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

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.

Beetle PSX HW

Crashes on game start.

blueMSX

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

bsnes

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.

DeSmuME

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 set to the correct resolution using the operating system's Screen utility.

EasyRPG

Crashes on game start.

Flycast

Too slow to be usable in practice, probably due to lack of 3D acceleration.

fMSX

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

FreeIntv

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

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 set to the correct resolution using the operating system's Screen utility.

melonDS

Crashes on game start.

melonDS (Standalone)

Crashes on game start if attempting to launch a zipped game file.

Mupen64Plus-Next

Crashes on game start.

PCSX ReARMed

Games don't run, emulator instantly exits.

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).

ZEsarUX

Crashes on game start.

Supported game systems

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