ZSNES board

What's the URL for the current source repository? Private . Wow, that was three years ago - if there has been three years of closed development, I guess bugs and problems with the last public version must be pretty uninteresting. What's the state of the private repository these days, by the way? An...

You are missing the required libs or you really don't have your video drivers installed. There are no missing libraries, according to ldd (see listing below). Does ZSNES dynamically load other GL libraries at runtime? linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00577000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00625000) libSDL-1...

Upgraded to Fedora 12 from Fedora 10 (both 64-bit) recently, and after this upgrade, ZSNES refuses to use any of the OpenGL video modes. When I attempt to do it, ZSNES prints " Could not set < width >x< height >-GL video mode. " to the console. ZSNES is the only program that can't use Open...

I recently built a custom made controller based on the Xbox 360 controller electronics, and while testing it, I noticed and fixed a bug in ZSNES. The dpad on the 360 controller sends "hat" events, and when assigning these to Up/Down/Left/Right, one has to center the stick after hitting a d...

BTW, can you try the new -ad oss option and tell me how that works for you? (must configure with --enable-libao, and make clean first) Tried -ad oss and -ad sdl, and they both seem to work fine. I'm using ALSA, though, so I'm not sure how valuable my -ad oss test was. At least I can say that it see...

Sounds good now. Thanks for applying this so quickly!

Found the source of the scrolling bug, too. This regression was introduced in 2625. As with the sound bug, it's an attempted optimization that didn't work. The commit comment says: Optimisation to frame draw code, only draw frames that change Apparently, the code doesn't detect changing frames very ...

Well if you can narrow down certain emu bugs to a particular revision, I'll gladly take a look. But please do tell me if any other audio options help you at all. Progress report: The audio bug turned out to be a regression that was introduced in revision 2757. By applying the following patch to the...

If you're having sound issues, I recommend trying latest SVN, using --enable-libao (requires libao and libao-dev) to configure, and then trying one of the audio drivers you can pass to -ad, see zsnes --help. It's getting very late here (almost 03:30 :), so I'll have to try this tomorrow. Thanks for...

Could you at least mention your specs, and Linux distro you are using? Sure: (I was going to eventually, but I thought I'd put some more effort in myself before filing a regular bug report) Software: Distro: Slackware 11.0 Kernel: 2.6.18.5 Libc: 2.3.6 ALSA: 1.0.11 X.org: 6.9.0 NVIDIA driver: 1.0.96...

Not every commit is perfect, however I don't think literally "every" commit within that range is causing those problems. I don't think so either, but somewhere in those 485 revisions, the two bugs started occuring, and I can't easily determine where because of the link issues. The piece o...

If you're using strictly 1.50, then you need to compile with --enable-release passed to ./configure. Makes no difference, aside from taking forever to compile. Also, I think the unresolved symbols is a result of a failure to make clean in many instances. No, seems to be caused by these lines in cpu...

Just tried out 1.50, and noticed at least two serious problems in Linux (the Windows version still works) that weren't there in 1.42: 1. The sound started making crackling noises (seems to be related to the volume level - clipping perhaps?). Btw, I have read the FAQs regarding this issue, and none o...

Did you try setting SDL_DSP_NOSELECT=1? I don't know if it still does anything in SDL 1.2.8, but it's worth a try. I tried it, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I don't think ALSA is what Fedora's SDL is using by default. The reason is if I export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa and then run ZSNES, ...

Try this: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp Type this at a terminal and then run zsnes from that terminal (not from the GUI). If it fixes the problem, then add the line to your .bash_profile, log out and log back in and it'll be set "permanently". I'm not sure why this is necessary--/dev/dsp sho...

This is what the intro to Super Star Wars sounds like on Windows:

This is what it sounds like on Linux:

Clearly, you don't have to be an audiophile to tell the difference. :-)

I know this may or may not apply to you, but I use FreeBSD and I found the only way I can use sound in ZSNES without it being messed up or causing ZSNES to not freeze is to use either Gaussian or Cubic Spline sound interpolation and no low-pass filter.[...]. Thanks, but this didn't solve my problem...

I haven't tried a single Squaresoft game, so yes: This problem is general.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions so far!

I know close to nothing about Linux, but I have seen various topics on the Linux Ver. of zsnes referring to sound issues. Have you tried a search? :? Yes, I have searched, and I think I have skimmed through most of the other bug reports, but I couldn't find anything that seems to be related. By the...

I have a laptop with an Intel 82801DB-ICH4 sound controller and an ALC250 codec. It works perfectly with other Linux applications I have tested, but in ZSNES (tried both 1.36 and 1.42), the sound is badly distorted (I can make some samples if you'd like to hear it). I also tried running the Windows ...
