I didn't know you can compile ZSNES32 on 64-bit Linux. :lol: The last time I read it, the tut still said i386 only. You can't compile a 64-bit binary, however you can compile a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system. I'd recommend setting up a 32-bit chroot and compiling in there, it isn't that complicat...

If you wish, you can run it without the chroot, just install the 32-bit libs somewhere the system can find them (/usr/lib32) and it will run just fine. OP: Run ldd on the binary you have downloaded, and if it uses libao create symbolic links from the shared objects in /usr/lib32/ao/plugins-2/* to /u...

Anything above 30 FPS seems fine with me, I know if I get any lower than that on Counter-Strike: Source my aiming goes to shit. I remember only getting about 30 FPS with ZSNES back in the day, I think it was ok back then (playable).

Setting to i586 is only if you plan to distribute the resulting binary and cannot assume any special instruction set beyond the typical mmx stuff. I *am* planning on distributing the binary, in 32-bit/64-bit debian packages for Intrepid, sorry if I didn't make that clear. I'm not nearly qualified t...
