Making a Zsnes. I need help on what files on each website...

[KingHanco]

I need. Where do these files go in the MinGw anyway? This very confusing reading the install.txt. I'm a new at this Zsnes making kind of thing.

Windows port with MinGW:
- GNU Make : it comes with djgpp - http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
- NASM v0.98.39 : http://nasm.sf.net/
You will need to add the GNUWIN32 patch.
To find the patch though, you'll have to do some searching.
- MinGW : http://www.mingw.org
- Latest Win32API : http://www.mingw.org
- zlib : http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
- libpng : http://www.libpng.org/

Do I need to download all the files on each website and unzip into the MinGw all together?

This link don't work btw. - NASM v0.98.39 : http://nasm.sf.net/

What files version I'm looking for?

I try the MinGw easy pack from the MAMEDev.com and it doesn't like it.

Thanks. That should do it.

I had alot of people telling me never compress any programs. Other words keep it same amount of RAM. So I won't compress the Zsnes.exe.

Files you need:

[ZSNES Source]
MinGW-4.1.0.exe
w32api-3.5.tar.gz
dx80_mgw.zip
nasm-0.98.39-win32.zip
zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
lpng128.tar.gz

I had alot of people telling me never compress any programs. Other words keep it same amount of RAM. So I won't compress the Zsnes.exe.

They aren't very smart. Compress away.

That only really relates to libraries and regularly loaded programs. For instance, with libraries that are used multiple ways, you lose the shared code and read-only data sections. More likely to affect resident libraries and executables, code and data sections supposedly won't be paged out to the swap file, but instead can be referenced from the disk file.

Those concerns should not keep you from compressing ZSNES, but it may not be a good idea to test compressing your Windows or System32 directory with anything more than NTFS file compression. And even that may not be a good idea.

It seem that it not picking it up. My computer is lagging and freezing. I need to reboot now. There are problems. I wonder why this is happen...

Use zget. It's all you need, ignore everything else.

E:\MinGW\bin - Edit. Ok I rename it to nasm.exe. It works. Thanks.

[KingHanco]

Everymine. It move to here at - C:\MinGW and screwup my Mame MinGW.

I knew something is going wrong.

[KingHanco]

I wasn't be able to make a zsnes.exe because of the other nasm.exe. The other nasm.exe will not stop from downloading the files. There noway to stop that from doing keep on doing it. I like wtf is a matter with this stupid thing. I already download those files and it doesn't check to see the files already download and then start on making the zsnes.exe. I think it is broken somehow where it won't make a zsnes.exe.

Ether someone is confusing me here or it won't work at all because of the 2 nasm.exe issues.

Maybe I better off downloading the zsnes instead.

[Nach]

It redownloads the files, let it.

Next version will check if you already have the files or not.

[KingHanco]

I done it now. I use the ZSNESS_0319.tar (source). It about 3.51mb after it been made.

Thanks Nach.

Now I need to try offical zsnes 1.42 source again.

Here! Read this if you want to build the Windows port...

If that isn't the simpliest method for Windows then God help us all.

Same zsnes offical source error. I think my windows xp don't like it. The wip the only thing that does work for me to build the zsnes.

I just don't know what else to do. But just build the wips for now until someone solve the problem on what is going on here.

The "cd desktop" doesn't work ether. It doesn't know that one.

I got it to make this time.

Thanks to Nach for that source on his website.

There no errors on make at all on this one.

zsnes 1.42n source is the one that works.

[Bahamut_ZERO_Clue]

I have XP and it works for me.

He renamed zget.exe to nasm.exe, draw your own conclusion.

v1.42 didn't have standard MinGW+NASM support, only standard way to build it was MSVC+NASM, so no, it in fact does not work for you.

Not this time around. I leave as it is and never put it into the C:\MinGW\bin again. I done the changes yesturnday.

I just run the zget.exe like this to download the MinGW.

set path=c:\mingw\bin
zget.exe
pause

Then I run the zsnes make.

set path=c:\mingw\bin
make -f makefile.ms PLATFORM=win32
pause
