ZSNES board

It may be expecting a specific lib version and/or you are missing the lib altogether. The former sounds like the answer.

For the record, no dev is able to build for OS X, but we can attempt to fix it. Krade is around to build+test it, so you would have to address it with him just so you know.

Yeah, that's what I thought, I linked something I shouldn't dynamically. I'll fix it once I get home (or when I find a power supply).

Sorry about that. Gotta love incompetence.

EDIT: D'oh! That's not the problem, it should be able to find the libSDL dynamic library just fine. I just read your posts and you're right. I moved the framework outside of the Frameworks folder at one point when I was building the dmg image and forgot to put it back. The process I was using to making the DMG was following the symlinks inside the .app and copying everything, making duplicates of all the stuff, so I moved the framework out and put it back manually in the end. I put the in the wrong folder when I was doing that.

I'll fix it once I get a couple of minutes of free time.

EDIT #2: Oh, forget it, on top of that; I linked against the wrong libSDL. There goes another 20 minutes worth of another --enable-release compile.

EDIT #3: Sorry, I'm a longtime Linux user, new to OS X. Turns out linking to shared libs is OS X is a lot different. That, and the (non-MacPorts) SDL installation should also include an sdl-config script and the compiled libSDLmain.a, but whatever... I have the problem fixed, it now links against the SDL framework properly instead of the libSDL I had installed with MacPorts. I'd --enable-release it and upload it right now, but I don't think my battery would make it. Once I can sit down for a while near a power supply, I'll do it.

EDIT #4: Uploaded a new dmg to http://www.krade.com/zsnes/ZSNES-1.51.dmg . This time I tested it on another Intel Mac, I happened to be right next to a guy who just bought a MacBook when I was compiling this.

Just wanted to say, Krade's build is the best of ZSNES for OS X I've seen since this project started. The major OpenGL problems that were present before seem to be gone and no issues as of yet. I'm using a 17" iMac with Intel Core Duo (ATi X1600).. Mac OS X 10.4.8.

My bad on that one.

Well, not actually.

Unexpected hard drive crash and personal mental issues aren't exactly something I should be blaming myself for.

Well, preliminary work on getting it going under OS X again (with the Terminal. I figure that Xcode out some day. I promise!):

The configure script does not work anymore. One of the reasons is because OS X comes with bash 2.05b, which does not support adding on to variables with a += operator (the oldschool BLAH="$BLAH asdf" style still works). I could install a newer bash, but I prefer my bash-completion working the way it is now.
The other problem is that after the SDL_CFLAGS are added to CFLAGS, the configure tests do not have the "SDL.h" header included that uses macros to change main() to SDL_main(), so they get a nice "multiply defined symbol" error from ld. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get around that....

Or just patch it and carry on. It's merely one feature I'm missing out on.

The other one's the real buzzkill.

Hey, thanks for the link. 1.51 is niiice.
One problem is that certain games crash when using mode 7 graphics. Try Actraiser II.

Deathlike2 · ZSNES Developer Joined: 28 Dec 2004 Posts: 6982

There aren't any issues with Mode 7. Actraiser II has issues for a different reason if you search the board thoroughly.

When is that Intel mac being donated? I looked at the mini's but they still want like $600 for it. I could buy an iPhone for that much.

I'm having problem with the 1.51 build posted by Krade. Uncompressed games run fine, but when I try to open a rom file that has been gzip'd, ZSNES crashes and gives the following error in the console:

ZSNES could not find any joysticks.
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _gzdirect
Referenced from: /Applications/Games/SuperNes/ZSNES.app/Contents/MacOS/ZSNES
Expected in: dynamic lookup

dyld: Symbol not found: _gzdirect
Referenced from: /Applications/Games/SuperNes/ZSNES.app/Contents/MacOS/ZSNES

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

Complain to Apple to fix their broken zlib, yes this is their fault.

(Sorry, didn't see this)

I could try compiling zlib into a static library myself and make ZSNES link against that rather than use Apple's dylib, I suppose.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I do that with NSRT, it's pretty easy to do.

Any hope of getting the NTSC filter to work in any modes besides 512x448 DR W?

That's pretty much my favorite feature of ZSNES, and is the only thing not-perfect about the Mac version of SNES9X.

I took a look at the algorithm to see if I could transplant it or something, but it's beyond me. Spending my days programming in Python has given me a terror of C.

Just one question...
How far away is ZSNES actually going to post an official, stable release of ZSNES for intel macs, pre compiled and ready to go, like the other versions of zsnes?
