-Package: games-emulation/fceultra-0.98.12
-Simple Fix: create the "cheats" directory in ~/.fceultra
# mkdir ~/.fceultra/cheats
-Details: FCE Ultra exits with the error "Error saving cheats." and
fails to save the cheats that were entered during gameplay.
This error is always reproducable. The error stems from
the fact that fceu looks to save data into the ~/.fceultra/cheats
directory without ever creating it, and does not check for its
existence before trying to save. This can be verified by viewing the
"cheat.c" file for fceu, it is a very simple code fix if someone
would like to patch it.
-To Reproduce: Start fceu and any nintendo/famicom rom then press 'F2',
this will take you back to the console and a menu. Select
option '2' "New Cheats...". Then select option 1, 7, or 8
to add a new cheat. Follow the promts to add the cheat then
select 'X' " Return twice to return to the game. Upon exiting
the game the error "Error saving cheats" occurs and the cheats
fail to save.
