Hello,
?
I’m trying to write a simple frontend for mame and mplayer in Linux. I do not
want to use X so i opted for the fbdev.
?
I have setup SDL properly and apps compile and run correctly, however…
I have built a simple menu system to select roms/movies, when a user selects
one the code fork()'s and calls an external app (via execv) e.g. mame the
child process goes into the “background” and the parent process stays on the
screen in the foreground. I’ve also tried a simple system() call, same
result.I know that in X a new SDL window is created…
?
Has anyone ever tried anything similar? Any help would be appreciated.
?
Cheers,
Lee
