ANN: mednafen frontend / launcher

[MonkeeSage]

Hi folks,

Here is a simple mednafen frontend / launcher, written in python and GTK+. No .debs yet (I'll make some soon...promise).

Screenshots:







In planning (or at least up for consideration) are an input configuration dialog and a cheat code editor. But those are prolly still a ways off. See the INSTALL file in the tarball for install instructions (standard python distutils installation), but installation is not required; it should run from any directory in which you unpack it.

OMG! awesome! i can't till you make deb packages. i await in anticipation.

i know this is a far shot, or a shot in the dark.....but do you think you could also make a qt4 version of your frontend?

Alright, a deb is up at sourceforge.

I've never used pyQt, so I'm probably not going to make a QT version (unless a lot of people want it). But the source is MIT licensed (which is basically just public domain with a legal disclaimer), and people are welcome to hack it all they like. It should be fairly quick and easy for someone familiar with pyQt to knock out a GUI in Designer and change the glade / gtk stuff in mfe.py.

Slight bugfix up (ver 0.1.1).

* Fix spacing issues with glade widgets (minor)
* Trap signals (SIGTERM, SIGINT) and exit cleanly
* Fix code to de-/sensitize "Force Mono" checkbutton on init

New deb up at SF.

Very nicely done!

I had just started working on a similar frontend for Mednafen a few days ago. Now I don't have to!

Nice work.

1) I would made the window resizable since I have issues with options spilling down over the elements below them.
2) Change your source package to extract to its own directory, instead of the current directory.
3) The ROM selection should be made a bit more obvious; being at the bottom of the second tab is a bit odd.

Just constructive criticism, nice work so far.

dang! i test intrepid & there are dependency problems, so i can't install this package.
(python conflicts & whatnot).
