Full Text Bug Listing

New version of snes9x out, 1.5 also includes "Add support for saner directory
structures under Unix " which may be useful.

this is also supposed to work natively under amd64, finally bringing a good
snes emulator to amd64.

attaching a nice, working ebuild would speed this along...

wonder if anyone tested this shit before "releasing" ... fails to build in a
few places due to structure changes

Sorry in advance for the long message (and doubly sorry if 4 attachments and
the comment resulted in 5 emails to everyone).
I have an ebuild, and I think it should definitely be attached to this bug for
gentooers who want snes9x-1.5, but putting 1.5 in portage might be premature.

Basically only the X11 target works in this version.
svga, opengl, and ggi are confirmed broken
(http://snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2890) and I can tell that glide is
too. Most will build but not work quite right when 1.51 comes out.
Of these, we supported the opengl target (but no others).

I'm still contributing an ebuild --- for my purposes 1.50 is still a huge
improvement! --- which survived some playtesting on my laptop. (~x86,
USE="joystick opengl zlib -debug -dga"; I also tested a build without the asm
cores in lieu of trying on non-x86 architectures.)
Patches which are still relevant have been updated.
The build errors are fixed by new sed commands in the ebuild: one fixes an
obvious screwup in offsets.cpp; the other *partially* fixes the opengl version:
it builds and runs (quickly), but has obvious graphics glitches.

In case anyone else spotted a "snes9x-1.5-linkage.patch" on the openSUSE
mailing list
(http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-commit/2006-Jul/0322.html), it's
irrelevant. (The only occurrence of dspemu2.c is a #include into a .cpp file...
WTF)

So for now the ebuild has a warning about osnes9x and is tagged as ~x86. It's
supposed to run on at least ppc and amd64, but I can't test those.

snes9x-1.50-build.patch

sorry, should have posted my patches earlier

Working on PPC for me but I get the same error with osnes9x as I got with
version 1.43.

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  23
  Current serial number in output stream:  24

Debian tackled that problem at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/07/msg03370.html but when I tried to
apply their patch to 1.43, it still didn't work. But then I am trying to run it
on pretty old hardware, an ATI Rage IIc using the mach64 driver.

Sorry wrong link.

http://www.usenetlinux.com/archive/topic.php/t-477051.html

From that page, it looks as though they didn't resolve it but their changelog
seems to suggest that they did.

The opengl version doesn't work at all for me so that's why I haven't added
this yet.

Thanks for the update. "It doesn't work" is a fair reason. =)

Only time I'd expect the GL stuff to fail outright is if you can't supply a
visual with 16 bpp, doublebuffering, and either truecolor or directcolor.
(Reporter from the other thread could, and anyone who can run 1.43 with GL can
too.)

Can't reproduce any error myself, only minor (temporary) graphics glitches.

Maybe 1.51 will add upstream GL support some time soon. It sounded likely 2
months ago... *shrug*

snes9x-1.50-opengl.patch

This allows OpenGL to build. It's a patch I made essentially based on, what my
friend told me, Arch Linux uses (Didn't look at it).

I get the Badwindow thing with OpenGL though, so someone else might want to
try.

Thanks.

If you unwind the way everything's defined, you'll see that the ebuild I posted
has a sed line with the same effect. (Well, unless the extra pair of
parentheses from the patch stops a compiler warning during build.)

Regardless of which solution you like, the patch and the ebuild as posted won't
work together.

Your ability to reproduce the badwindow bug, if anything, sounds like a reason
you're in a unique position to help fix it! =)

snes9x-1.50-r1.ebuild

slight alteration for building under ppc64
I've tested this on the PS3 (64bit) seems to work okay (not sure about 32bit
ppc)
Looking at the Makefile, offset isn't always built for every arch

snes9x-1.5.1 out now.

I have an ebuild "ready" modulo testing. If others don't mind (i.e. aren't
already at that point themselves) I'd like to claim this. Ebuild should be
ready by this afternoon, except maybe with a temporary SRC_URI.
Thanks. =)

This is undoubtedly a higher-quality release than 1.5 was.
The current ebuild worked with "+dga +debug +joystick +netplay +zlib", "-dga
-debug +joystick -netplay +zlib" (my default settings), and with all flags
turned off plus a "without-assembler" stuck into the configure flags.

The netplay USE flag is new. I'm unable to test it now and would appreciate
some help seeing whether it works. (Shouldn't be too much of a chore =)
The opengl build is now giving me the same problem mentioned in comment #12.
Now that I can reproduce I'll try to figure out what the hell is going on.

Thanks to anyone who tests or helps out. If opengl can be fixed and the SRC_URI
can be finalized this bump might happen.

snes9x-1.51-porting.patch

Probably not needed since 1.50, actually...

Just a couple of things I've spotted for the ppc64 arch on the PS3
1. for 1.50 distcc needs to be disabled, for 1.51 not a problem

2. when I tried 1.51 on the PS3 the sound was fairly crappy
1.50 is okay no problems
1.51 has problems with the sound output

it mentions in the changes file
"- Unix: Sound now defaults to 32KHz, Stereo, Interpolation
so Snes9x finally sounds like a real SNES by default.     (Nach)"

I suspect this could be the problem but I've not found a way to override it in
the configuration that actually makes a difference
it could be something just unique to the PS3 I'm not sure (it could have an
issue with sound being output at odd frequencies)

Opengl build w/1.51 doesn't work for me either, giving the same error message
as the others who commented here. #29: -r 6 or -r 7 on the command-line should
work for you.

Oh, sorry for not mentioning this earlier. I sent patches upstream to fix
opengl.
http://www.snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3450
The first patch posted by me ("brickroad") is for opengl. The second one should
help if you experience crashes in the x11 (not opengl) build while resizing the
game window.
The end result has been working very well for me, as a matter of fact.

Thanks, but your patches aren't applying for me. Perhaps because the forum code
is putting a space after each line? In any case, would you mind attaching them
here? I also rewrote the ebuild; once I'm able to test with your patches I'll
post it here.

New 1.51 ebuild incorporating patches from that forum thread. Kai, please feel
free to obsolete this if your rewrite is better. (I'm dropping -porting.patch 
; I didn't realize it was just meant for x86-64.)

snes9x-1.51-x11.patch

I got it successfully working on amd64-no-multilib.

So "amd64? ( app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs )" can be removed from DEPEND
and package itself can also be removed from amd64 multilib mask.

What did you have to do to get it to work on amd64 no-multilib?

(In reply to comment #37)
> What did you have to do to get it to work on amd64 no-multilib?

I added "games-emulation/snes9x" to package unmask, removed the
"app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs" dep and just emerged snes9x (1.51)

I also played Final Fantasy III a bit ;)
