ZSNES board

The television will maintain this crystal clear image when using SVIDEO as well. The NTSC artifacts only happen when using the composite video (yellow RCA plug), or RF coax. Technically it has nothing to do with an NTSC thing, as SVIDEO is just as NTSC too but without the artifacts. Its this reason ...

It doesn't lockup my system at all, but zsnes becomes frozen in a 100% cpu coma until I killall -9 it.

Testing them now, heh.

First one works great, second one hangs at 100% cpu at the start of emulation.

Finally Super Mario World no longer sounds like SH*T!

You the man!

Cheers.

Looking great, and sounds great too. Minor issue of disable sound tickbox not working yet though, for the picky. Not that I ever use the disable sound feature. :-) EDIT: nm, dont seem like the code there to look from cfgsoundon exists yet. WIP! Heh, I tried but seems how it is if I even change Sound...

No idea, I have a hard time believing that "too fluid" argument when it comes to you gentoo users. Windows has WIP builds, due to so many people not wanting to compile zsnes themselves. We have a compiler and an assembler, and CVS, and its incredibly easy to do it yourself. I think the poi...

AND YES, NO MORE DARN CRACKLING!

Yup, I'm almost sure thats related to the 100% cpu gremlin I was talking about. I'm not sure if its related to the OSS code or something recently changed in CVS however. As it only happens during emulation, and the OSS stuff happens upon load, where the issue isnt existant. Glad it worked for you ho...

I think a nice config file with user definable resolutions and modes would rule rather then having this stuff hard coded. I haven't looked at the win32 code but the sdl code makes it look easy. Would be a far better longterm solution as you'll never ever please everyone by hard coding it.

Alright.... printf("Sample: %d\n", oss_samplerate); if (fdAudio) { ioctl(fdAudio, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0); close(fdAudio); } if ((fdAudio = open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY, 0)) == -1) fprintf(stderr, "Error opening /dev/dsp\n"); if (ioctl(fdAudio, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, &oss_for...

printf("Sample: %d\n", oss_samplerate); if (!AudioOpen) if ((fdAudio = open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY, 0)) == -1) fprintf(stderr, "Error opening /dev/dsp\n"); if (ioctl(fdAudio, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, &oss_format) == -1) fprintf(stderr, "Could not set DSP SETFMT on dev...

I need to add that changing samplerate while running zsnes will require a restart for the device to get set... sounds like an easy fix tho...

I got it working on my emu10k1. if (ioctl(fdAudio, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, "32") == -1) fprintf(stderr, "Could not set PCM format on device.\n"); fragment size should be set to something sensible... if (ioctl(fdAudio, SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED, &oss_samplerate) == -1) fprintf(stderr, ...

orly I have *never* had extra line noise with dmix, I have *never* had to kill someone's zombied daemon with dmix. In my view, it is the best option for software mixing available at this time. Sure it is, considering its the only option out there that doesn't make use of a crappy daemon aside from ...

ALSA-dmix is just as bad as artsd or esd mixing. It sounds pretty crappy. dmix is just a cludge.

I would love to see a good NES emulator for *NIX systems. Currently the crop of emulators that exist either wont compile on newer systems, lack any proper filter and gui, and unnecessarily chew up 100% of cpu time while you play them. ZSNES is a luxury when it comes to SNES for *NIX. An NES emulator...

Yeah, perhaps when all handhelds start using an x86 cpu. Of course, if you want to translate all the x86 asm to C then by all means do so.

I use OSS output for all audio output when possible. The only annoying issue is for people who have crappy soundcards that block the device while its in use. People really need good soundcards that can play multiple streams in hardware such as any card based on an emu10k1 chipset. Single stream capa...

Here's an easy place to find a sound inaccuracy.

Load up Super Mario World.

Go into any level and keep jumping and hitting a block that has nothing in it, you notice it makes variable thump noises rather than just the normal "thump" every time on a regular SNES.

Ever since I updated to the latest CVS, this happens in Yoshi's Island. Might be related to the other bugreports about the DMA updates or whatever. http://spykes.net/spike/smw2.jpg It only happens when that weird long funny snake like thing is on the screen. There are also other glitches on various ...
