ZSNESW Installer

Truth Unknown · Post by **Truth Unknown** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 1:55 am

This is a Installer of ZSNESw made with NSIS.

:UPDATED Jan. 6 2006:
Full:
Contains ZSNESw 1.42, 1.42n & 1-5 WIP; ZSNES Documentation; NSRT 3.2; NSRT Frontend 0.2; and Source Codes
DOWNLOAD - 6.34 MB
Lite:
Contains ZSNESw 1.42 & 1-5 WIP; ZSNES Documentation; and Source Codes
DOWNLOAD - 3.25 MB
EDIT: These downloads are no longer online, out of date and hardly used.

I previously wrote:I made a installer for ZSNESW, version 1.42.
It includes the ZSNESW application, updated documentation, and the License.
I used NSIS to make it and it will be on my site (my site uses PNGs so title is not viewable on IE6 and below) in the download section (currently disabled thru there).

I just have a question, is it conflicting with the license.
You can download it here.
I wan't to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.

As long as the NSIS is GPL, I don't see anything wrong with it...

then again, that's my opinion, someone clarify this.

It matter not whether NSIS is GPL. However, you have to offer the source somewhere - either as an option in the installer, or on your site. The easiest way to make sure you're complying with the GPL would probably be including the source in the installer.

Would a URL [in the Start Menu] to the site work?

May I ask why you wanted to make a Zsnesw installer anyway? I'm guessing because not everyone knows how to use .zip files?

Ok, I kind of thought so.

The GPL wrote:3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

A link in the Start Menu might fall under b), but can you guarantee the link will be valid for at least three years?

I used ZSNES.com so it's ok, right?

OH yeah, I remember that, but the file is removed.

Anyone with a connection should soon be able to build his own zsnesw from source using a nifty "ZSNES from scratch" package Nach is making.
