I honestly didn't get it to work at all before applying the patches (I found the SIGNED_SAMPLES and POKEYSND_BIG_ENDIAN defines after patching), but I did later on boot to what I *think* was a kernel before the patches... I say "think" because I'm not entirely sure I didn't overwrite that kernel with the new patched kernel at some point during this whole process.. but I am fairly sure that it probably would have worked the same, and that this problem has always been there (ie, you didn't introduce it, AFAIK).. so it's either a problem with the sound implementation in LinuxPPC or in Atari800... but, since Atari800 is primarily developed for the Atari Falcon (m68k, I believe) and not x86 (although x86 support is certainly more carefully monitored than PPC I'm sure), I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies.. .ugh, sorry for the rambling.. I just got off work and it's 3am already so you'll have to excuse me.. :) But, if anyone who does know more about kernel hacking than myself would care to make some attempt at building Atari800 I would really appreciate it.. I could send the latest sources (0.9.9h) plus the required roms to whomever is willing to try. Regards, Jonathan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
