    Re: Gens 2.12 (genesis emulator)

    I was able to build this in a 32-bit chroot, but for some reason it wont build AMD64 natively. Anyone know why?

    this emulator requires nasm to compile therefore it may be doing some code down on the machine code level stuff that is very arch dependant

    I know you're being a smart ***, but BS. SEGA has many great games and was one of the best producers of arcade games.

    I've been trying to get it to at least compile (working would also be great), but I can't get it to work, and I haven't gotten some vague message about compatible libraries, but
    Code:
    gens_core/cpu/68k/cpu_68k.c:27: warning: initializer element is not computable at load time
    gens_core/cpu/68k/cpu_68k.c:27: error: initializer element is not constant
    gens_core/cpu/68k/cpu_68k.c:27: error: (near initialization for `M68K_Fetch[1].offset')
    gens_core/cpu/68k/cpu_68k.c:27: error: initializer element is not constant
    gens_core/cpu/68k/cpu_68k.c:27: error: (near initialization for `M68K_Fetch[1]')
    Frustrating. I've tried changing the hex values and adding some leading zeros, but I think AMD64 is less lax about something I don't know about.

    Re: Gens 2.12 (genesis emulator)

    Does anyone here know what extension the roms for Gens usually are?

    I found a Genesis rom with the zip extension .7z, but Gens won't load it. So I assume I have the wrong file type.

    Thanks.

    .7z is like .zip. I don't know if linux handles 7-zip.

    Re: Gens 2.12 (genesis emulator)

    Yes you'll have to unpack the 7z files, but gens does support zipped files (.zip).

    The roms should be in .SMD or .BIN format if memory serves!

    There is also DGen which is a pretty good genesis emulator if anyone has trouble with this - I installed it through synaptic but I think it's in universe - let me know if you need help finding.

    just install like this
    Code:
    unzip gens.zip
    sudo dpkg -i gens_2.12a-i386.deb
    and there you go just type gens to launch or make a launcher for it

    please tell me if you have any problems
    Sweet, thank you so much. I could not get the damn thing to compile, but this works like a charm!

    The sound is delayed for me, the effects happen about .5 secs after the action. Any know how to fix?

    Just one more issue - and its probably related to me using compiz. If I say fullscreen the window just moves to the center of the screen - it doesnt get any larger. Would really like to fullscreen it, and any help is appreciated.
