ZSNES on arcade machine (framebuffer)

Post by miner49er »

Hello,

continuing from my previous post:

http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13119


..which was completely ignored (have people given up on this brilliant project?)

I now have zsnes 1.51 running on Debian Lenny linux using the framebuffer, on a console using a Matrox G400 video card! And it runs brilliantly - better than I've ever seen it - no tearing, smooth as heck scrolling and it's just lovely basically.

<columbo>There's till just one small problem...</columbo>

..and that is when the process ends (I.E. I press escape) it doesn't finish properly and I have to CTRL+C (or control and something - I always forget). It prints out something along the lines of FLAGS x00000001

So, can anyone help with this one? I'm so close to getting this nicely integrated with Advancemenu!

thanks,

m

I recently experimented with zsnes using fbcon and had some odd behaviour like crashing while exiting occasionally but not as you describe. I'd suggest trying different sdl and matrox fb kernel module versions. I guess. Framebuffer has always been kinda goofy for me especially involving zsnes.

Yes, I got it running (real nice as well). The only problem I had with it was the crashing when exiting.

Have you had any luck running zsnes (I left my brains in the womb) at 15Khz?

Nope, I quit trying it several months ago.

Best Regards.
