This morning I imported my current work on Kamefu into KDE SVN
It’s located into: /trunk/playground/games/kamefu

How to access it:

svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde//trunk/playground/games/
cd games
svn up kamefu
svn up
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure –enable-debug
cd kamefu
make
su -c “make install”

I decided on only focus on Kamefu and I forgot this idea of a KDE module only for emulation. Why ? I’m a human student after all

On the geek side:
-I’m now on KDE 3.5 beta1. Why I wasn’t before on KDE 3.5 SVN ? Two words: fucking dial-up! Source packages, Gentoo ebuild and 512M USB key to transfert the source package are the key to success.
What I’m thinking of it ? Like every major KDE 3.x upgrade, I love it I got some problems with KDevelop 3.3 beta1 which was too buggy(100%CPU usage so I returned to KDevelop 3.2 instead which is more stable. Sorry KDevelop guys.

-Emerge sync of a dial-up is teh evil. Well I needed KDE 3.5 beta1 packages so I made this “fatal” command on my system. And my connection has a tendency to f*** while “emerge sync” is still working. So my portage tree is now kinda broken because “emerge sync” didn’t have time to finish and god I tried multiples times, and the process is taking more than 1 hour. I blame the telephone company who don’t offert ADSL line to my village. Damn I really need a ADSL line

-Kamefu prototype is now ready to be imported into SVN, I started a thread on kde-devel and kde-core-devel about creating a new extragear module to host KDE emulation related projects. But now I think this proposal is a bit too ambitious, maybe I should just put it into playground/games.

On real life:
-For the year, I’m a member of the school theater group as a comedian. It’s the first time for me as a comedian. In Secondary School, I was more the backstage technician guy. I finally make the jump to the other side of the scene. Anyway, today we received a copy of the piece we will play, and this will be awesome and really funny.

-School is someting kinda boring. This semester I have three course related to .NET Framework that all using VB. NET. First course is for the VB.NET language, another for the ASP.NET part and another for ADO.NET part. The problem is… I learned the .NET Framework 3 years ago with C# by myself. Also, its happend that the teachers teachs us the same thing that another teacher already told us. They are these days that I would like to dropout from school and work 40h/week of projects that I love to work on. But that’s just a un-realistic dream

Man that was a productive weekend. I decided to concentrace my weekend freetime to make progress in Kamefu, the KDE All-Machine Emulator Frontend (and collection manager) for UNIX. Note that is NOT a frontend to XMAME like LinuxReviews guess it (see this article about aKademy 2005) The best part is that I wasn’t in Spain to attend aKademy 2005. Heh, that’s the power of the blog planets

First of all I worked on the SystemManager that handle System plugins(example of systems: NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, MAME). So far I have only NES and SNES plugin. The only thing that they are doing is register to their mimetpye
Today I worked on Collection Building and Access. Collection Building use KDirLister class and support recursion into sub-directories. The only thing missing from Collection Building class is support for ZIP file and related to that support for RomMetaData Factory.
Collection Access can now insert a new ROM into the database.

Still it’s not ready to be imported in SVN (playground), I want to have a usuable version before to import. When all the importants parts of the framework will be there. Also I still have some hardcode into my sources
