A few Emulator Questions

[Nythain]

A. Are there any decent Gameboy Advance emulators that support cheating (eg. Codebreaker or GameGenie codes, or with a Search feature similar to VisualBoyAdvance for windows)

B. Has anyone gotten csnes9x (a command line front end for snes9x) to install on ubuntu feisty... i try but get a bunch of errors, the first few being expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before <... i have no idea what a constructor/destructor/type conversion are since im not a programmer...

C. well actually thats it, just a and b there... thanks

for b, have u tried zsnes instead, works alot better in my opinion

downlaod the source files from http://www.zsnes.com

extract it to ur home folder

in the terminal do -> sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libpng12-dev nasm zlib1g-dev

then in the terminal write cd and drag ur new folder called src into the terminal (found at home/zsnes_1_51)

then ./configure
make
sudo make install

and it should work
run with zsnes in the terminal or press alt+f2 and write zsnes

GetDeb.net has an up-to-date zsnes package: http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=ZSNES

(not sure if you're interested in it or not since you were obviously asking about snes9x)

i havent looked to into it yet... does it have an interactive interface, or is it strictly called upon by lengthy syntax commands... the only reason i wasked about csnes9x was the fact that its a curses front end... while i love the command line, im still a little lazy and prefer not to have to type the longest commands known to man... not to mention that FINDING a certain rom on my computer and typing its name out is complicated enough... but i will definately check it out

frickin sweet, a simple zsnes command and its that oh so familiar interface... exactly the same as teh windows equivalent... thanks for the info guys

A. Mednafen handles 'Atari Lynx, GameBoy (Color), GameBoy Advance, NES, PC Engine(TurboGrafx 16), SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket (Color), PC-FX, and WonderSwan (Color)'. It has a nice cheat interface too. Handles Codebreaker codes for GBA.

http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/

Anyway, I'm used to the zsnes cheat search, this isn't too much different. You just use
alt + c to enter the cheat interface
alt + t toggles cheats on/off during gameplay

Hope this is what you're looking for.

I can't seem to find the place to add codebreaker code for GBA. just regular memory cheat.

for snes emulation, BSNES is the hands-down best (most accurate) SNES emulator in existence, if your system can handle the system requirements that is.

While accurate, it currently can't hold the 'best' title as it doesn't emulate the addon chips in certain cartridges yet.

true. however, very few carts use those. i, as well as most think that its accuracy outweighs the lack of emulation of those special chips and makes it the best.
