    No need if my package works, thanks! So sound is working ok now, and video after installing my package?

    I was very glad to help you. Just make sure to have fun.

    Anyway, maybe it's time we make a bash script that handles downloading, building, and installing for zsnes.

    Maybe dfreer you'd like to help with 64-bit (I don't have a 64-bit box at the moment...)

    I can certainly help out, but it's far easier to build the binaries on a 32-bit OS, I have yet to figure out how to compile 32-bit binaries from a 64-bit host. (You can't actually build a true 64-bit version of zsnes, due to the way zsnes is currently developed. My ZSNES packages are 32-bit binaries in a 64-bit package, because current intel/amd 64-bit processors can execute 32-bit code).

    I'll have more for you later tonight, one thing to look out for is the "can't create mcop directory" that a lot of gutsy users are having problems with. I have yet to hear a definitive answer on the cause and solution for that problem.

    Very cool, and thanks.

    My sister ran into that mcop issue after upgrading to Gutsy.
    I proposed a solution in another thread here, but can't really test it myself... Nor do I know the cause...

    Re: Anyone having trouble with Zsnes?

    I'm thinking it has to be specific to the gutsy package of zsnes in the main repos. I'll set up a virtual machine or live CD here, and see if I can replicate on a fresh version of gutsy.

    As for the script, it wouldn't be hard at all. The only issue I'd have would be how to check for if there is any errors when compiling, and halt properly once something fouls up.

    Maybe I'm bias, but AFAIK my packages already work fine for gutsy, is there a need for such a script?

    when run from the terminal, zsnes tells me:

    Come to think of it, I agree
    Considering how long zsnes 1.51 has been out.
    Maybe if a new release comes out or the svn has some obvious benefits.

    I guess I thought it might be handy since there seem to be a lot of "zsnes issues" threads in this section. Probably better handled by squashing outside bugs, I don't think zsnes is responsible for it, except maybe sound issues

    Thanks.

    Re: Anyone having trouble with Zsnes?

    @FranMichaels - That mcop error may very well be solved by using a custom bash script, but as a package maintainer I can't really (shouldn't is more correct) modify files in user's home directories. But I'm really thinking that the official package is to blame, not gutsy itself.

    Didn't we just have this same error elsewhere?? Anyways:
    My advice would be to backup, and then delete your existing ~/.zsnes/ directory. If that doesn't work, then try manually specifying the resolution you want zsnes to run in, either in your ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg file, or when launching zsnes by passing it an argument like so:
    Code:
    -v #    Select video mode :
                 0 = 256x224      R WIN     1 = 256x224      R FULL
                 2 = 512x448     DR WIN     3 = 512x448     DR FULL
                 4 = 640x480     DR FULL
                 5 = 256x224    O R WIN     6 = 512x448    ODR WIN
                 7 = 640x480    ODS FULL    8 = 640x480    ODS WIN
                 9 = 640x560    ODR WIN    10 = 768x672    ODR WIN
                11 = 800x600    ODS FULL   12 = 800x600    ODS WIN
                13 = 896x784    ODR WIN    14 = 1024x768   ODS FULL
                15 = 1024x768   ODS WIN    16 = 1024x896   ODR WIN
                17 = 1280x960   ODS FULL   18 = 1280x1024  ODS FULL
                19 = 1600x1200  ODS FULL   20 = VARIABLE   ODR WIN
                21 = VARIABLE   ODS WIN    22 = CUSTOM     OD  FULL
    EDIT: not quite the same error, I see:

    Zsnes 1.36... Why? Try using 1.51 and see if it works for you.

    Or is there a reason you want that particular version (old zmv file?)

    Hope that helps.
