Ya. I would have never have come up with the BAT+TXT method without Nach's input.

As I said, it is separate from the zget package, not integrated. If it was integrated, we would not need the bat file and the txt file would be generated by the zget app. Thus my use of a workaround, which is unhyphenated.

Which means more work needs to be done on zget development to achieve what could be done anyway.

Yes.

Make-clean was added to zget, yet we had batch file workarounds for it before it was implemented. Currently, users need to be aware of these batch file add-ons and create them themselves. At least 3 users here support some sort of cfg file, so at least 3 users will use it.

If you're going to hyphenate words to make them easier to read Image you may as well hyphenate them in a sensible fashion. Work-around. It's really quite simple. Although most people tend to break words like that at line endings, not because they're all I LIKE SHORT WORDS. THEY'RE CLEAR AND EASY TO READ. Image

Somebody is sure to be killed for this post. Probably me.

at the part where it asks if you want to autopick the CPU, how about having a choice of selecting one manually? Selecting N would go for default, but you could specify a CPU too, if you're compiling for a different system.

The idea behind archopt is that you would compile ZSNES on the same system to use to run it. If you were to select it, you would HAVE to know what profile (and its name) to use. It's not exactly ideal for the automated system (there's many profiles to even consider).

I just had one idea when I found zget 4.0 on my laptop that I did not use for a few months: How about allowing zget to check for updates to itself?

For those looking to built v1.5, note that zget does not handle building releases.
However you can update to r4137 then navigate to your ZSNES source directory and do:
make -f makefile.ms PLATFORM=win32 RELEASE=yes CPU=your_cpu
make -f makefile.ms PLATFORM=dos RELEASE=yes CPU=your_cpu

Replace your_cpu with whatever archopt tells you that you have.

Note this is for advanced users only.
No complaints, just send money.

PATH c:\blah\blah.exe

how do i set a path? lol because it would just make it that much easier to compile without getting confused.

edit: i worked out with PATH /? that its the above syntax and am building it now :)

I posted a silly request here before, but I soon was embarrassed when zget started getting it automatically when it couldn't find it on my harddrive, forgive my ignorance, and THANK YOU for this amazing program, it makes life SO much easier.

Anyone tried compiling a DOS port? zget finds and validates zmingw, but not zdjgpp, and dev-c++ copy isn't valid either.
Win port compiles ok. Where can I d/l zget compatible gcc/djgpp?

Same error. I've deleted all files but the stardard one in that folder, and it recreated zmingw4.7z.nget and zmingw4.7z. Is there a way to point it directly to djgpp(just like for zmingw)?

Pointing to mingw\bin?

BTW, nget IS trying to download zdjgpp.7z from SourceForge, but gets a Connection Refused.

Edit: After hitting 100% it crashed and complained about not being able to retrieve zdjgpp.7z. Maybe the file is down? I know nget tried at least half a dozen times

"zmpath" points to your mingw installation and "zdpath" points to your zdjgpp installation.

i would blame sourceforge tho, or your own internet connection.

Problem solved, downloaded directly from zsnes.sourceforge.net/zdjgpp.7z
Now all checks are ok.

When I compile and attempt to use the exe, I get a big black box with a small square section at the bottom left with zsnes running. Any ideas?

Some recent work on adding OpenGL support to the Windows version has screwed up video scaling. It should be fixed in a few days, or weeks, or before the next release. Maybe.

Yea, I thought it was probably due to source instability. Thanks :)

since filters don't work anymore at the moment, you can use the HQ filter setting to scale the image as appropriate with imo no performance loss.

The one I compiled was slow as hell(about half the usual speed). Dunno if it's instability or some new code. Maybe I should stick to Official Releases.

I use windows normally, I just installed kubuntu 7.10 "gutsy gibbon" on my secondary hard drive. Any tips for compiling on linux?
