BTW, I compiled Open Sonic on Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and it works great on it. Unfortunately it's a very old game and there are some sound issues on modern Linux distributions.
Download:
opensnc-linux-powerpc.tar.gz
I have also sound on Void PPC!

I am happy!
I installed the packages
alsa-oss and
allegro4-4.4.3.1_2 and deleted the
liballeg.so.4.4 in the
opensnc-linux-powerpc folder.

I installed the packages
alsa-oss and
liballegro4.4 and deleted the
liballeg.so.4.4 in the

Hi All,
I released the
stable longterm kernel
5.10.133 for the X1000 and X5000 today.
It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04. It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.
Download:
linux-image-5.10.133-X1000_X5000.tar.gz
Please test the kernel.
Cheers,
Christian
