Improving the NES Emulation Scene on Ubuntu

[punkrockguy318]

Hello,
Since I figured this project was actually useful, I decided to work on my HTML/CSS skills are work up a website. Check it out: http://punkrockguy318.no-ip.org/gfceu/

New releases and things will be announced there.

PS: If you can't tell, I'm running off of a slowish connection, and a slowish server. If someone can help me out with some hosting, that would be GREATLY appreciated

I told you I'd help with hosting. Check your PM's.

Ah great! I replied! Sorry, I thought email notifications were on, but they weren't.

Good news everyone! I've been accepted as a FCE Ultra developer. I've already begun work on the netplay server, and later on this week I'll be moving all gfceu upstream.

If I get a chance, I'd like to improve some things of fceu. The input configuration system and the binary configuration files can be improved. I hope to make fceu a killer emulator

I would be hacking away in the svn right now, but it's off to band practice. Stay tuned guys, good things on the way!

I use rocknes for linux its currently my fav nes emu. Unfortunatly it does not contain network play. I have rocknes so if youd like I can post the deb file. Good work with yours though youve improved it much

Hey guys! I'd suggest you all check out the newest version: 0.2.2. The previous releases has a minor issue with the *.desktop file that you many have found quite annoying. It associated itself with text files in nautilus.

For the newest release, check out http://punkrockguy318.no-ip.org/gfceu

Thanks a lot for you work on this! It works great but I have one problem. I had to install the server with the --force-depends option because it complained about failed dependencies for libc6 and some others. The server works great. But now synaptic wants to remove it anytime I go to install packages.

Is there a way to tell apt/synaptic to leave fceu-server alone and ignore the dependency issues?

Heh, I didn't even notice. Though oddly, when I purge the old one and install the new one, it reassociates itself with ASCII-based files. Even deleting the commented MIME type thing doesn't seem to work -- only by deleting the desktop shortcut. Remaking a shortcut via Alacarte seems to make it work fine.

Odd. Not a big deal though.

EDIT: OK, when I did a sudo mv gfceu.desktop fceu.desktop it worked fine, so GNOME must be somehow "remembering" the old desktop file or something and reacting to it.

This is awesome!!!

I really love this. The only thing that I am having trouble with is the Fullscreen. When I check "enable fullscreen", I get a full screen, but the game is still in the center of the screen surrounded by a large black frame. I mean the game does not stretch to fill the fullscreen. Could someone help me with that?

Great program, God Bless, Jereme
