    @dfreer
    Thank you, I made it rather quickly with GIMP. As for making time, save states might help

    @kevindubrow
    dfreer gave the command you need. build-dep does work though, I'm not using medi-buntu, but the command is exactly:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get build-dep zsnes
    No space between the hyphen. Try and see if that does the trick.
    Also,
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install autoconf
    that should take care of the autogen error

    @mister_k81
    Yes, there are a lot of great commands and tricks... You just kind of stumble upon them though... Unless you read a lot of manual pages.

    As for rom, and yes I know the forum rules, this is not a link to the rom itself, just a patch file:

    http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/197/

    It's fun and extensive zelda III hack (requires the original zelda III rom), much harder than the original... Although a few save states and cheat codes I made balance things out

    Anyway, zsnes supports soft patching.
    So just put the ips file with the same name as the rom, and you'll be good to go.

    P.S. Dfreer, hope you don't mind me copying your response style

    Re: Anyone having trouble with Zsnes?

    I'm really sorry, these codes are still not working. I now have a lot of new errors. I have gotten the repo that dfreer made but I don't know how I use that to get ZSNES. I thought it would be in the package manager, but I do not see it.

    Oh and thanks for the info FranMichaels!

    You are very welcome.
    Let's get this working.

    What do the errors look like.
    Did zsnes used to work before, maybe you should backup the config files stored in .zsnes

    Okay, well it might be the new zsnes doesn't like your old config.

    In nautilus, press ctrl + h (or view hidden files) go the .zsnes folder

    rename your zsnescfg (or some file like that) to zsnescfg.old or move it to the Trash can. Try launching zsnes, and see if it works

    Other options, you are close to compiling it, just missing libsdl-dev stuff according to the error.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev

    Ok, well I already had whatever your code was going to give me:
    libsdl1.2-dev is already the newest version.
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    libnl1-pre6 libnm-util0 dhcdbd
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

    I deleted the zsnesl.cfg file and when I opened zsnes, it rewrote the file in the .zsnes folder and I had the same issue occurred (zsnes opened with a black box and closed).

    Hmm it must be another libsdl dev dependency, I installed mine more than 1/2 a year ago, so I don't rememeber exactly what's missing. Installing dependencies normally a one time thing.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev
    Darn.
    What happens when you type zsnes in terminal
    does it show an error message?

    EDIT: One other thought, did you change anything in your upgrade to Gutsy? Maybe enabling/disabling desktop effects will make a difference?

    I don't know if this helps, but you can get aclocal by typing: "sudo apt-get install automake".

    Re: Anyone having trouble with Zsnes?

    Woh! The code mister_k81 gave me did the trick! I Ran the code, ran an uninstall on ZSNES, reinstalled it and all is well! Thanks so much for all of your help, all you guys are great! And thanks for all of your time, FranzMichaels!

    I don't understand this....it is doing the same thing again!

    Output:
    ZSNES v1.51, (c) 1997-2007, ZSNES Team
    Be sure to check http://www.zsnes.com/ for the latest version.

    This is a work in progress build. It contains code which
    May or may not be complete

    If this is supposed to be an official release, you forgot to
    run configure with --enable-release, go rebuild.

    It runs fine in the terminal, it tells me that it can not find a mouse, but mine still works.

    Re: Anyone having trouble with Zsnes?

    It will run fine if I run it from the terminal, but if I open it in the menu it will crash. Any clue what that is about?
