I start said programs with analog mode already on, hit any direction on the d-pad, and the program segfaults.

The linux kernel joystick API is just an I/O protocol, so jstest can handle basically anything without problems.

If you can or already compile yourself, you can help fix the problem by generating a stack trace. Instructions are here: http://snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3703&start=37. This will identify if the problem is in SDL or if there's something I need to fix here.

Your instructions aren't working to create debug symbols. When I run gdb snes9x-gtk, it says that there are no debug symbols found.

Hi man, excelent JOB for Snes9x , i dont like the version without GTK i thinks is horrible xD

Well i had download and installed Snes9x-gtk

Im trying to compile Snes9x-gtk , with Cygwin or MinGW under Windows XP SP2 , but i cant

Someone can compile it , i wanna the version with GTK i dont like the actual version of Snes9x 1.51 for Windows with MFC GUI , i wanna the GTK GUI :=)

Well another thing is , the Chat for NetPlay , someone can add this function ?

Well in this moment im making an translation from French file .po , to es_VE.po (Spanish Venezuela) to add it :=) when i finish i post it :=)

Well byebye

Arch Linux's makepkg utility was stripping the debug symbols out, even after I enabled them. I turned off that config option, and now you have your backtrace:

HI There, man i try to compile the SOURCE , with my file of Spanish Translation

you can Download from :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RO6PK96V

I dont know, why when i compile the SOURCE , the Source dont make my file called "es_VE.po" to "es_VE.gmo" but the file fr_FR.po yes, someone can explainme what i should do to use my own translation plz ?

Well i cant transtale the Text of
Options > Preferences

In the Window Called "Settings of Snes9x"
In The Tab "Emulation"

I cant translate the next Texts :

"Window Behavior"
"The ESC Key should :
a ) Toggle The Menu Bar
b ) Exit Fullscreen mode
c ) Quit Snes9x "

That texts not are in the ".PO" file called "fr_FR.po" , because that i dont translated yet

Well, this confirms the problem is in SDL. If I guessed, I would assume it's going out of bounds on the joystick->hwdata->abs_map array. It looks like they're using the ABS_MAX constant for setting up the array when they should be using ABS_CNT. Can you do a

when the program crashes?

See the section in the first post about translating. Basically, instead of copying the existing .po, you need to generate a template file so the new strings are translatable. If you want to add a new language to the compile, you just need to add es_VE to the ALL_LINGUAS line in configure.ac, then run the autogen.sh file to rebuild the configure scripts.

Well i see before the section but i dont understand at all the steps, in the first case i generated the translation with a file "snes9x-gtk-pot" but before was the same , jeje i dont knew are need to add lang in the configure.ac thanks for the information

sorry for all, its my first translation :$

Thanks for all :=)

Hi there :=) , I've finish the Translation for Snes9x-gtk to Spanish
you can download the "po" file from

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJ4KOCLL

This is my final actual version of this translation
if you wanna compile with this lang you should

1 - download the SOURCE of snes9x-gtk-x.xx.tar.bz2
from : http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gtk/downloads/list

2 - Extract the Sources

$> tar xfvj snes9x-gtk-x.xx.tar.bz2

3 - Edit configure.ac

Now with a text editor open the file
snes9x-x.xx-src/gtk/configure.ac

4 - ALL_LINGUAS=""

you seek the line ALL_LINGUAS="fr_FR" and now just add and space and es_VE by this way

ALL_LINGUAS="fr_FR es_VE"

5 - Save the file and build

$> ./autogen-sh
$> ./configure (--with(out)-option)
$> make
$> sudo make install

6 - run snes9x-gtk and now see the Spanish Menu :=)

Don't worry about that, inukaze; Bearoso will do all this for you for the next release so it will be straight forward for end users =)
(btw, I think I should update the fr_FR translation a bit)

- EDIT - : updated the fr_FR.po file: http://kuro-hitsuji.net/~tukuyomi/stuff ... v75.po.zip

Hi there, well i try to play over the "Internet"

ME = Server (Linux Ubuntu Jaunty , Snes9x-gtk 1.51 port 75)
Friend = Cliente (Windows XP SP2 , Snes9x 1.51)

Well we are in the same room but diferents ISP . This was just for Testing

I see 2 Important things

1 - The Windows Client is too slow for the netplay , my machine normal play

1.1 - If i be the client my machine is some slow , but the windows machine are much slow

2 - NetPlay dont have Chat , this is very usefull
Or a VoIP funtion how ioquake3

Well someone can add chat to netplay plz ?
just that

Well if someone can make the VoIP will be much better using the "mumble" sources , someone can compile the snes9x-gtk 1.51 native for windows that is just for try again the netplay

Thanks for read :=)

zombie_ryushu:
I'll try to find a fix that works. Thanks for testing.

inukaze:
Thanks for the translation. I'll include it in the next release.
Regarding your problems,

for 1. - The server is responsible for handling the speed of gameplay. If it slows down, all the clients have to slow down to the same speed. As the server, there is also an additional CPU usage, so on lower-end systems, the speed will be lowered even more. There's not much you can do except get better machines, and always have the fastest one act as the server.

for 2. - The NetPlay protocol is very simple. Adding chat would require a new, non-backward compatible protocol, and would require new versions of all the ports to support it. I should also mention that NetPlay isn't "officially" supported by Snes9x. I don't think the Mumble project is license-compatible (GPL not LGPL), and it's probably easier to just set up a VoIP connection outside of Snes9x.

As for your last suggestion, Snes9x-gtk for Windows is unlikely to be useful. This is a GTK+/X11 port, so you'd need the Cygwin X11 server running, and that would add a good deal of overhead and not allow OpenGL or XVideo.

Tukuyomi:
Thanks for the updated translation.

inukaze · Post by **inukaze** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 2:33 pm

Thanks for the info brother

well you can't use the part of source code of Zsnes 1.42 to see how to work the NetPlay of that emulator ?

For use the same protocol in the Snes9x , and maybe this allow the netplay betweens Snes9x and Zsnes

Well i dont knew the Cygwin X11 was need it to run Snes9x-gtk , well i going to download just for testing :=). and after the test i told you my experience XD

Well its just an idea , but if impossible , just forgot it
==================================
Another things :
Well the NetPlay i know its not offical supported yet, when i run the "./configure" the NetPlay not active still when i saw that i search more info about Snes9x NetPlay. The Best netplay was be of Zsnes 1.42 but under Ubuntu Jaunty dont work, when you try to run it you see a message of "Overflow" and all libs the emulator try to use.

The Zsnes 1.36 Works , but i see the next errors with NetPlay using the "ZBattle.net" (Software to search anothers players to use netplay)

1 - If me be the server (linux) when an windows machine try to connect to me , never found my IP

2 - If another pc is server (windows) well the connection is make when the ROM begin the emulator , exit inmediatly

3 - In the zbattle.net they gave a pre-compiled Version, in case of Errors they recommend , try to compile the version for myself , but the source code of 1.36 requieres nasm 0.98.x , and i dont know why i can't compile

Without the Zbattle.net , I dont have test yet

==================================

Thank you to you for Included my translation :=).

Well man i dont use Snes9x because just its for CLI , in my particular case the Snes9x dont Support use OpenGL Render, too yet XVideo Render Just Software

The Pre-Compiled Version come with much Options , you can download the Snes9x-gtk from : http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gtk/downloads/list

Someone can sayme where i can get the last libs of Xvideo , plz under ubuntu Jaunty i can't compile with that Option.

Looks like a PulseAudio problem. It crashes, corrupts the mixer settings, doesn't output sound, or consumes huge CPU time on all my machines, so I'm not even going to try and debug it. I highly suggest you disable it.

On the other hand, if you get crashes or no sound without PulseAudio, I'd be interested in the settings you're using.
