How to use netplay with the 1.51 version from Debian Testing

Post by frenchn00b »

Hello

I would like that my friend connects to my pc, but the net play is not available in 1.51 version of debian. Hence how to use netplay with the 1.51 version from Debian Testing Squeeze?

Thank you if it is possible

Run this script ;) for Ubuntu and Debian

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
mkdir zsnesnet
cd zsnesnet
wget -N "http://linksadventure.no-ip.biz/programs/zsnesnet.tar.bz2"

sudo apt-get install nasm  libsdl1.2-dev

tar xvf zsnesnet.tar.bz2
./configure
make 
make install
cd /tmp
cp -a zsnesnet /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/zsnesnet/zsnes  /usr/bin/zsnesnet

then :
server side:
Server needs no keypad
$ zsnesnet
configure the input #1
$ zsnesnet
netplay > connect server

client side:
Client needs a keypad
$ zsnesnet
configure the input #2
quit
$ zsnesnet
wait that the server choose a game !!

Play, enjoy !!



It is a bit tricky, but I hope that the programmers of zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) will read this post & realize how complicateed it is to play under Ubuntu Linux

Compile/Install an older version of ZSNES that supports netplay.
Configure Inputs.
Start netplay on one machine then connect with the other.

Ok


I am glad that you are coding for the Linux community and making zsnes. It is one of the best emulator of our Linux repositories (I have to said: zsnes is the very best emulator, ever (personal opinion))
