GTK/X11 Port (aka Linux/UNIX GUI)

[zombie_ryushu]

Fullscreen works perfectly.

[inukaze]

Hi There someone can tell me , the website i can get the last Xvideo Libs for my Ubuntu Jaunty plz, i dont have that render in the version compiled by myself

Jeje and i dont found in the net :s sorry for that
Well thanks for readme and thank you

[BearOso]

I've put up a new revision with the translations and the fullscreen bug fix.

inukaze:
I think you just need the libxv-dev package for XVideo support.

[inukaze]

Well well well, thanks for the info, i have now all options i wanna :=)

:O My translation its now included :=) Thanks for that

well bro i try again test netplay but i dont know why the emulator Freeze in both Case

myself be server (gnu/linux)
another be server (ms/windows)

Freeze Too , but i dont know what its i had restart the pc , check filesystem (fsck) , and dont know why now the NetPlay cause me Freeze on GTK GUI.

Well thats its all for now , thank you ^^

Hello,

I'd like to know if the executable stack is needed for snes9x-gtk to work or not ?

Adding these sections at the end of the assembler files makes the executable stack go away, but i've not tested the resulting binary yet...

Jeje sorry man , but you can say me if i must edit what file in specific ??
Plz , i recompiled again just for tests :=)

^^

Or if you can explainme how to patch some file of source with the command

$> patch -p0 < patch_sne9x-gtk

or something like that or well you can explain more specific :$ sorry by that :$

Thank you

[littletux]

Re,

If anyone want to help with testing, full patch is here :
http://zarb.org/~littletux/snes9x-gtk-1 ... tack.patch

Use this to patch :

Code: Select all

patch -p1 < snes9x-gtk-1.51.75-no-exec-stack.patch

Best regards,

ltx

:=) i just put the patch file in the "snesx-1.51-src" folder and execute the patch command :=)

[inukaze]

I have half good news xD jeje, the NetPlay works fine if im the server (Linux Machine)

But if the another be the server (windows machine) , the GTK Interfaze FREEZEE , but the Snes9x-gtk says "connected Player 2"

[GoodOld16bit]

Hi, I really like this port, (I belive it's better than other related projects), but I would like to tell that in my opinion the scanline filter is not so practical in use.
I use to like scanline filter with other emulators, because it helps giving old low resolution games a nice look, but to do so it have to work well, and displaying evenly spaced scanlines, by providing someway to scale the output image to an optimal size to keep a good pixel aspect.
With Snes9x i can't find a practical way to resize the window to get evenly spaced scanlines...
To explaing better I would like to post an image showing side by side tcomparison of the same game emulated by Sn/es9x and Gens/GS, The difference should be clear enough this way, but I don't see a way to post an image here (but I can send it by email if it can be useful). Will this kind of problem be solved?
Thanks for the great port and best regards[/img]

[GoodOld16bit]

Forgive me... I found it by myself...
Was View -> Change size -> and one of the options under "Correct Aspect".

[inukaze]

Hi there my emulation brothers xD , dont worry about that ^^ , well i wanna know if in the new version of Snes9x-gtk , came with the Patch ???

And I wanna know if you dont think to make the GUI but QT3 or QT4 Version i think if you can make in QT3 , i prefer QT3 instead of QT4 , but you know the QT4 its the lastest version , well, its desicion of devs ^^

[BearOso]

inukaze:
Even though I have netplay available, it is still fairly broken. Snes9x has a freeze-file sync issue where it always sends a "fail." It also has a problem with an inverted success code for sending the ROM image to clients. You'd have to recompile the Windows version to fix these, and I don't suggest doing so.

Your best chance for success is to make sure when your Windows port is a server is to ensure "Sync by Reset" is set and "Send ROM image to clients," or whatever it's called on Windows, is NOT set. It looks like you're hitting the freeze file sync bug.

I'm not really interested in changing toolkits. If you want QT, bsnes uses QT4 and is pretty much where the future of SNES emulation is at. You might not have the speed to run it, though.

littletux:
Are you disabling the executable stack because of kernel security? If this is the case, I'd just disable the assembly cores. The only cores actually used are the CX4 and SuperFX ones--the assembly for the main CPU is broken/out-of-date. You're not going to see much of a speed drop (if any) by disabling them.

I have a non-critical fullscreen bug.

Basically, it seems the way snes9x-gtk fullscreens, it resizes the desktop/KDE in the process. So if you have open windows when you launch full screen, it moves them, or it resizes them.

[Tukuyomi]

Try to uncheck "Change fullscreen resolution" in "Options -> Preferences", tab "Display"

This would be an issue with kwin not handling XRandR events properly. It assumes the desktop is resizing when the video mode changes and resizes all existing windows regardless. You can bug the kwin developers to fix it, or just not use mode-changing like Tukuyomi suggests. If you're using OpenGL or XV then you won't see a speed loss by using the desktop resolution.

[BearOso]

A new revision is posted.

*edit*
And for some reason, the forums won't allow me to post accented characters (even though the preview works fine?). Tiberio's name with accents can be properly read here.

Hi, new at these forums (thanks to this thread!)

I think your work on this GTK version is totally awesome. It's got tons of features and works amazingly! But I have stumbled upon something really inconvenient...

When I try to configure the keyboard settings, it won't accept control keys like shift, ctrl and alt. These keys are used in my favourite (keyboard) control scheme, so I can only set up snes9x-gtk to use Z, X, in other words, for me less convenient keys. I tried editing the configuration XML manually but it uses long numbers instead of key labels. Could you fix the input please?

I'm not actually sure which is more preferred: having modifiers keys apply combos to normal keys (e.g. Shift+F1), or having them act as independent keys on their own. I suppose I could provide an option to switch between behaviors.
