Description Filipe Saraiva 2011-05-10 01:33:05 CEST

Hello,

Excuse-me, but is possible a SNES emulator in Mageia repository - Tainted repository? If yes, I recommend zsnes, snes9x and snes9x-gtk frontend.

Thanks.

zsnes is already there in Core i586

Thanks José!

But, the problem with ZSNES is he has only i586 version. snes9x and your frontend snex9x-gtk has i586 and x86_64 versions.

The links to Mandriva x86_64 package versions this softwares in PLF repository:

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/plf.zarb.org/plf/mandriva/2010.1/free/release/binary/x86_64/snes9x-1.51-1plf2008.0.x86_64.rpm

I reopen this bug report.

Thanks.

@ D Morgan
Sounds like someone is working on it. Can you assign this request to him/her?

I don't see new versions for snes9x for a while, a find some info about bsnes which is maintained. Have you tried it?

Comment 7 José Jorge 2011-11-11 17:44:15 CET

snes9x is now on cauldron. From my tests, it does not work as well as zsnes, so I recommend using zsnes even on x86_64 systems.

Comment 8 Filipe Saraiva 2011-11-12 02:43:16 CET

Hello José, thanks for your work. But, exist a problem in installation of the two packages. See:

# urpmi snes9x snes9x-gtk

Installation failed: file /usr/bin/snes9x-gtk conflict between trying to install snes9x-gtk-1.53-1.mga2.i586 and snes9x-1.53-1.mga2.i586

(I translated the error message from brazilian portuguese to english).

I will reopen this bug report.

Thanks.

Yes, dmorgan has done the same work on another package. It is being removed, and now you can urpmi snes9x snes9x-gtk.

Comment 11 Filipe Saraiva 2011-11-12 23:04:01 CET

Thanks José, is ok now. :)

I had a problem with speed of emulation, but I just set up the sound driver to ALSA (in main window of snes9x-gtk, Options->Preferences->Sound) and now is very good.

Kudos, mages.
