It is a highly experimental branch that has not even been offered to the main repository, let alone merged. The people in this thread are manually compiling it from the fork, which one of them can provide.

Again, it is highly experimental, and while the results posted thus far do show promise, I cannot imagine it is very stable at this point.

Is anyone even actively developing that branch? It looks like the last commit was in february. I've been thinking about helping out on the dynarec. I was reading this post on pcsx2:

It doesn't even seem too difficult... or perhaps hes painting a very basic painting of how it works. Does anyone who knows more want to give me some pointers? Why do people always say dynarecs are so hard to write?

Reading a 100 ft overview of something and actually doing it are very, very different things.

Sure, it sounds easy enough to fly a plane. Just steer and hit some flashing buttons. But you actually need to go through tons of training to be able to fly one with any real chance.

ok, guys, it seems visual studio update 3 DOES NOT compile this correctly. it IS compiled, but it is not ran properly as executable, closing with error c00000022
Also, i'll leave a couple of instructions to gopalsr here about how to "build" this thing in linux with the minimum ammount of errors.

here are the instructions for a build in linux with only one linker error:
first of all create an environment variable called LLVM_DIR, like so:

Code:

export LLVM_DIR=/usr/share/llvm/cmake

then, remove ConvertUTF.cpp and ConvertUTF.h from Utilities
then remove LLVMRecompilerTests.cpp from Cell
then remove the lines that contain ConvertUTF in emucore.vcxproj
on a certain line in LLVMRecompiler.cpp there's a misname (Filesystem.h) rename it correctly:

Code:

#include "llvm/Support/FileSystem.h"

on line 2795 of file SimpleIni.h remove the include line there and replace it with this one:

Code:

#include "llvm/Support/ConvertUTF.h"

Afterwards just replace the content of CMakeLists.txt in rpcs3 folder with this one:

Don't forget to build llvm by creating a directory inside it, compiling and installing it:

Code:

cd llvm
mkdir b
cd b
cmake ..
sudo make install

when it asks for password input it
after that, try to build it, you should only have this error:

hope i helped
