    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.

    yeah the docs need to work

    select state with numbers 0-9.. save with f5, load with f7

    Angry Re: HOWTO: Install (G)FCEUX 2.0 NES emulator

    Greetings,

    I just tried installing from the source file, and I came across a huge problem in doing so.

    I copy-pasted the long sudo apt-get install command and installed the necessary packages. I also extracted the fceu and gfceux folders to the home directory.

    When I ran the sudo scons install command, the entire process failed. I was getting not found errors for every file it tried to work with.

    I would include an entire terminal entry, but it ran way longer than the terminal length before it starts cropping the oldest lines.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks much,
    Redmage913

    PS Running Xubuntu 9.04 on a Dell Mini 9.

    Re: HOWTO: Install (G)FCEUX 2.0 NES emulator

    I just installed the latest version of FCEUX from source and I'm having the same input problem described a few pages back. I have liblua5.1-dev installed, and I even tried running sudo apt-get install liblua5.1* and with all the packages it still doesn't accept input after config.

    Can anyone help?
