Hatari UI
---------
Hatari UI is an out-of-process user interface for the Hatari Atari
ST/STe/TT/Falcon emulator and its built-in debugger which can
(optionally) embed the Hatari emulator window.
Having the UI in another process allows doing it with a higher level
language while avoiding adding GUI toolkit dependencies to Hatari
itself. The UI is done with PyGtk i.e. in Python language, using the
Gtk widget set.
The main points of this new UI over the Hatari internal one are its
configurability and providing a GUI for the (console based) debugger
included with the Hatari emulator.
Note: this is an additional UI, the built-in Hatari SDL UI isn't being
replaced or going anywhere!
Requirements
------------
My guess at the required versions for the dependencies are:
- Python >=2.4
- PyGtk >= 2.8 (on Ubuntu PyGtk is in python-gtk2 package)
Hatari UI is included with the Hatari sources:
http://hg.berlios.de/repos/hatari/file/tip/
Hatari UI has been tested only on Linux (Ubuntu v7.04 and Debian Etch
& Lenny). I would assume it works also on other unix systems such as
Apple OSX. It won't work on Windows as the required Windows socket
support is missing from the Hatari emulator.
Embedding the Hatari emulator window is currently supported only for
systems using an X window system (from libSDL sources it would seem
that Windows would also support window embedding, but support for that
would need to be added both to Hatari and Hatari UI).
Running
-------
Being a Python program, Hatari UI doesn't need to be built.
You can just run it from where you extracted it (or checked
it out of BerliOS HG repo) by calling its wrapper script:
/path/to/script/hatariui
Or you can run just the debugger:
/path/to/script/debugui.py
But you can also install it to system along with Hatari:
make install
There's also a command line interface for Hatari's remote API
called hatari-console.py.
Notes
-----
Hatari UI runs a Hatari version found on $PATH. If you want
to use a version of Hatari that hasn't been installed, you
need to modify the search path, for example like this:
PATH=../src:$PATH hatariui
If UI is started without the embedding option, the actions
(in menus and toolbars) have also shortcuts. They cannot
be used when Hatari window is embedded because then those
shortcuts couldn't be used with Hatari.
