    HOWTO: Install (G)FCEUX 2.0 NES emulator

    These steps should work to install the latest version of the FCE UltraX (FCEUX) NES/Famicom emulator in Ubuntu.

    1. Install necessary dependencies.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install scons libsdl1.2-dev subversion libgtk2.0-dev
    2. Open a terminal (Applications... Accessories... Terminal) and obtain source from subversion.
    Code:
    svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/fceultra/code/fceu/trunk fceultra
    3. Change directory into the fceultra folder.

    Code:
    cd fceultra/
    4. Build and install fceux.

    Code:
    sudo scons install
    And that's it! You can also grab an older version of fceux from the Ubuntu repositories, but the latest and greatest can be obtained and compiled from subversion.

    If you would like to contribute, or run into any issues, feel free to join us in #fceu on irc.freenode.com. You can also file bugs to our tracker (http://sourceforge.net/p/fceultra/bugs/). Please note that you may not receive an immediate response in IRC -- idling is key.

    Enjoy!

    i just changed the dependency in the tutorial to libsdl1.2debian-alsa instead of libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. The esd driver seems to work better with fceux and is still compatible with pulseaudio, so I would suggest installing that if you're having trouble with sound.

    thanks, worked with no problems on my end.

    I have a question though:

    How can I save on this ?

    I presume there is save state support since fceu had it, but I couldn't find any mention of it in the documentation

    thank you again for your work on FCEUX.

    I installed fceux from source due to sound not working properly in the ubuntu-packaged fceu -- and it works, but after about 10 minutes the sound suddenly becomes very garbled and static-y and remains that way until the rom is closed. Any ideas about what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated! I am running hardy with pulseaudio removed, and esound and libsdl1.2debian-alsa installed.

    this has actually been fixed in subversion, which will be released in version 2.0.4. this release should get put out sometime this month i believe, but if you really want some nice working sound check out the svn repository on sourceforge

    Oh AWESOME that's great news -- it's always very satisfying when a problem I'm having turns out to be a known bug that's been fixed I'll check out the svn version tonight -- thanks!

    The problem i have with the one from the ubuntu repository is in full screen mode the mouse cursor remains in the center of the screen. Does anyone know if that is fixed in the newer version?
