bleh their tarball isnt that great ...
they left out proper opengl targets in the makefile :/

they plan on making a small service release so we'll wait until then

could you guys try that package out ?
snes9x seems a little flaky on my box ... then again, so does 139 ...
it's probably related to the fact that i'm running gcc-3.3.1 + glibc-2.3.2 +nptl with very high optimizations ...

their webpage says that star fox 2 is supposed to work ... it doesnt on my machine, but then again it could be related to the fact it isnt the 'good' version ...
f-zero 2 gives me a splash screen and then shows garbage ...
stunt race fx just quits after the front page ...
sound stops workin after a little bit in all games ...

buuuuuuuuuut i have the same problems with the binary 1.40 release ...
the 1.39 has the same problems except that f-zero 2 doesnt spit out garbage ...

hopefully someone here can test it out and show that these problems do not occur  on a saner system than mine :)

Using the ebuild (compiles successfully - no blaring errors) - running as a
regular user in the games group I get a normal successful checksum of a rom,
but dies with this error:
jeff@milhouse snes $ snes9x F-Zero\ \(US\).smc
Rate: 22050, Buffer size: 2048, 16-bit: yes, Stereo: yes, Encoded: no
Found ROM file header (and ignored it).
"F-ZERO" [checksum ok] LoROM, 4Mbits, Type: ROM+RAM+BAT, Mode: 20, TV: NTSC,
S-RAM: 2Kb, ROMId: ???? Company: ?? CRC32: AA0E31DE
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:  17

Using hand built from source (no patching, just plain ol ./configure && make),
runs fine so far.  Any idea why?  I'm playing around with it now to try and
figure it out.  starfox 2 and f-zero 2 are both listed with bad checksums for
me (and do more or less the same things in my hand compiled version), so I
can't give more feedback there.

2.6-test3-mm1
gcc 3.2.3-r1
glibc 2.3.2-r1

Emerged with USE="-opengl" and the above problem went away.

------- Comment #9 From SpanKY 2003-08-13 15:45:54 0000 -------
hmm, ive seen that error with xfree + software with doomlegacy ... 
 
try re-emerging with opengl support and running osnes9x instead of snes9x 

------- Comment #10 From handsomepete 2003-08-13 16:19:28 0000 -------
Same result with osnes9x

------- Comment #11 From SpanKY 2003-08-13 16:28:01 0000 -------
hrm, my f-zero works just fine ... what version of xfree ?

------- Comment #12 From Ernst Persson 2003-08-13 16:36:16 0000 -------
>Same result with osnes9x  
  
Yes, beacuse the ebuild builds both snes9x and osnes9x with OpenGL.  

------- Comment #13 From handsomepete 2003-08-13 16:43:30 0000 -------
Using:
xfree-4.3.0-r2
nvidia-kernel and glx 1.0.4496
kde 3.1.2

No problems running any other opengl programs (mainly testing glxgears and xmame, though).  Same errors if compiled --with-opengl by hand.  No one has complained yet on the snes9x forums, so it may be unique to me.  I'll continue fooling with it until I can figure out what's going on; it's probably a local problem that doesn't need to be discussed on bugzilla.  If I find anything useful, I'll report it.

------- Comment #14 From SpanKY 2003-08-14 19:24:19 0000 -------
hmm, i'm using 4.3.0-r3 over here ...
ill post a tarball of it for you (i believe i compiled it when i had gcc 3.2.3 and glibc 3.2.3-r1) ...

that way all you have to do is `quickpkg xfree ; emerge xfree-4.3.0-r3.tbz2 ; <test game> ; emerge xfree-4.3.0-r2.tbz2` and nothing should be messed on your system ;)

------- Comment #15 From handsomepete 2003-08-15 20:17:14 0000 -------
Sames results with xfree 4.3.0-r3

------- Comment #16 From handsomepete 2003-09-01 16:07:02 0000 -------
I just reemerged my system and my problems went away.  Some package somewhere
down the line must've been screwed up.  Oops. 

------- Comment #17 From Ernst Persson 2003-09-11 15:57:54 0000 -------
So what's happening? Succeeded in creating an ebuild that produces both a 
opengl osnes9x binary and a non-gl snes9x binary? 

------- Comment #18 From SpanKY 2003-10-03 13:54:08 0000 -------
ok, 1.41.1 is in cvs

it makes all the binaries cleanly thus you dont get the mixing ...
that is, snes9x is only X libs, osnes9x is only GL libs, and gsnes9x is only
3dfx libs

if opengl doesnt work for you then use the X version ;)
