Free pearpc 0.4 with sound software for linux

PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems.

This release fixes an ugly partition mapping bug which prevented PearPC to boot OpenDarwin. But the fix might cause regressions: so if your image is no longer booting and you can compile pearpc yourself, please talk to the pearpc-devel mailing list.

Installation:

-Get the Mandrake Installations CDs from a near mirror.
-Read the getting started document first.
-Join the club.
-Make sure you have configured with a big harddisk (3 GiB should do) and a CDROM with the Mandrake 9.1 PPC CD1 inserted. Select a 15 bit video mode. (ppc_start_resolution to 1, 4 or 7)
-Boot and you should get the yaboot menu.
-Press enter and wait.
-At some point, a graphical installer will show up.
-I wont partition your disk for you so you have to do it on your own
create 2 partitions: Apple bootstrap and a Linux onecontinue install.
It will ask you to insert another CD. Click "Change CD" and choose a different .iso or simply insert a different CD. Continue.
-Something bad may happen in the end of the install. Nevermind.

While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).

Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)

Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)
A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).
Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Dont rely on benchmarks made in the client.

PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.
No Altivec support yet but being worked on.
No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

VoiceApp records sound from soundcard (or any file) and converts it to frequency domain via FFT, showing the result in a window. The result is thrown on the screen in matrixish colors.

AstWar project is a terminal based 2D space shooter.
Astwar is a ncurses based simple space shooter; two little ships (asterisks), each on one side of the screen, try to shoot each other.
There is network support with several multiplayer options and user extension with Scheme (via Guile) to program the little ship to do some things automatically are in the works.
Provosional keys for now:
Ship 1:
- UP q
- DOWN a
- FIRE e
Ship 2:
- UP i
- DOWN k
- FIRE y
Enhancements:
- astbeep.c (playsound): added #ifdef __linux__
- shoot.c (shoot): added some #ifdefs
- Makefile.am (astwar_SOURCES): added *.h
- shoot.c (shoot): added new thread for each player sound.
- astbeep.c: added pthread_exit

SMPEG is SDL MPEG Player Library.

SMPEG is based on UC Berkeleys mpeg_play software MPEG decoder and SPLAY, an mpeg audio decoder created by Woo-jae Jung. We have completed the initial work to wed these two projects in order to create a general purpose MPEG video/audio player for the Linux OS.

Based on our initial work, SMPEG is able to playback MPEG video with sound on Pentium II based systems. SMPEG does not achieve adequate performance on slower systems.
SMPEG is offered under the GNU Library Public License (LGPL).

We hope that by making this tool available to the open source community that others will be able to use it for their own products, and that this tool can be expanded and enhanced for everyones benefit.

smixer is a command-line and scriptable program to control and display the mixer volume levels on a sound card in linux. smixer is ideal for setting mixer settings on startup or to switch between multiple configurations quickly.

Distrubution of smixer is under the GNU GPL. See the "COPYING" and/or smixer.c file for more information.

Usage is explained very good in the man page.

smixer may be invoked with the following command-line options:
-a When printing current settings include all devices.
-p Print out the current mixer settings, then exit.
-f file Process commands from file, then exit.
[no options] Process commands from stdin (interactive or from a pipe), then exit.

amaroKportable theme is based in iamarokPod:

Unpack, install eurostyle font and launch it.

Buttons:

*left button of digital joystick is preview
*right button of digital joystick is next track
*"sound" button is mute
*X button is play/pause
*vol + increase volume
*vol - decrease volume

LingoTeach project is a language-teaching program with sound and various translation sets.

LingoTeach is a language teaching program and library that use a session-based concept to teach languages from definable lesson files.

It currently supports more than 16 languages, and sounds of native speakers for English, Spanish, and German exist.

Kpacman project is the Pacman game for KDE.
Multiple game modes/schemes are available, including Ms. Pacman. Sound is not yet supported.
Enhancements:
- Almost a real KDE3 application.
