zsnes help

valke,

Honestly, I would just stick with 1.42 as it's in the repos. Any special reason you want to compile 1.50 from source?

[valke]

no, honestly not really. is it in synaptic? and just to remove 1.50 i delete the folder zsnes right? i thank you so much for helping me.

valke,

Yes, you can install it through Synaptic if you have the multiverse repos enabled. I'm sorry, I would have suggested this earlier if I knew you weren't just wanting to test out 1.50.

How did you install zsnes 1.50? Which options did you pass to ./configure, and did you `make install` it?

[valke]

belive it or not all i did was this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential nasm autoconf automake libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev subversion mesa-common-dev
cd ~
rm -rf zsnes
svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes
cd zsnes/src
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

it was so easy and quick, now mind you i have absolutely no experience with terminal or its language, nor do i know anything about ubuntu. i have only had ubuntu for three weeks. i love it though.

valke,

Before you install zsnes from the repos, what does this command output?

$ which zsnes

You should be able to just delete whatever file it spits at you to uninstall zsnes 1.50. After that, `rm -rf ~/.zsnes` to get rid of the old config files, and install zsnes from the repos.

Tremendous change log...

Anyway, Valka, don't give up man.

open up a terminal

type

rm ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg

Give it a go.

BoyOfDestiny,

Yes, I do realize that it has a tremendous changelog, so big that I didn't bother reading it. 1.42 works perfectly for me though (perfectly as in no issues whatsoever), so why upgrade?

[valke]

/usr/local/bin/zsnes

thats what it tells me.

Well 3 only are meaningful for me.
1 is it keeps the ratio for for widescreen (meaning I get two vertical bars instead of distortion)

2) No funky white line bug on the top of the screen in super metroid.

3) Multiple ips softpatching.

If it works for you, and you don't need the new features, keep it. But to discourage someone just because the older package is there... I'd rather they give it a shot... Didn't mean any harm by it.

hey its all good, no worries. ok so now what?
