Emulators

Seems you are right, but those were in /sbin/ folder. Needed to perform commands from there..

 

I'm in the same boat. Any gurus want to help?

 

try

Code:

rpm -ihv [url]http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm[/url]

Emulators in linpus linux I've tested which run well on the AAO:

1. zsnes, perfect, 60fps all games (v1.51 SDL version) Select full-screen opengl video mode (the 'custom' one right at the bottom) NB do not try to set the resolution yourself, just click on the top button that says 'set'. In the filters tab select Bilinear Filter and 2xSAI Engine to get really nice graphics. You should use sdl sound by launching zsnes like this

Code:

zsnes -ad sdl &

For great sound set 48000hz Sampling Rate, 8-Point Interpolation and Hi Quality Lowpass, then RESTART zsnes. USB joystick is auto deteced (provided you have loaded the joydev.ko kernel module - see earlier post in this thread) but must be configured in the 'Input' config screen.

2. gens, perfect, 60fps all games (v2.15.5 for Linux) Select OpenGL mode under Graphic, toggle full-screen with alt+enter

dgen (Sega Genesis), pretty good +40fps all games, use

Code:

sudo dgen -S2 -jfR <game.rom>

(use j option only if you have a usb joystick connected)

EDIT: gens is the best emulator here, not dgen as I previously stated

3. xmame, very good, most games at full frame-rate (search for my thread on configuring this one)

4. pSX (playstation emulator), pretty good, over 50% games fully playable (incl FF7, Oddworld, Resident Evil 2, GT)

 

Thanks a ton sideways, this worked for me!!

 

This is sort of a strange problem. I have installed zsnes and snes9x with no hitches using the package manager. I can load a rom fine but none of my keys work on either program, so can't play anything. I'm guessing i'm doing something stupid, but i can't figure it out.

 

For full speed emulation on gens in full screen mode download this rpm of gens and install with software installer.
Link:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/g/ge/gens/gens-2.15.5-1.i386.rpm
Enjoy!

 

That still doesn't do fullscreen, just a little box in the middle of fullscreen, and it crashes the xserver on my machine.

Have you seen my post above on running dgen fullscreen, did you compare?

 

Yes! i compared, look at options first b4 complaining shortcut key 4 fullscreen is ALT + ENTER.
Dgen dont have a gui this one does.

 

Hi

just wondering if someone can repost the joydev.ko file? The attachment on the original post has expired and I'm getting the same problem using the joypad...

Many thanks,

stumpy

 

joydev.ko

 

Hi there

I'm afraid that i can't get the following link to work in the terminal

rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

I basically get the error which the people before were having with the old link.

I guess these rpms get updated quite quick or something?
Anyways, can someone please find a working RPM for the emulators please, as when i try myself in google, i'm worried i'm going to get one which isn't going to work on acers limpus linux (Linux noob here sorry)

Cheers

 

On Mame I use PgUp to enlarge the screen, is there anyway to make it fullscreen?

Thanks

 

Anyone else have any joy getting these links to work these days?
If anyone else knows another way to get emulators onto linpus then please share.

Emulators on this little machine would be fantastic

 

Hello,
Iam new using linpus and after using this method nothing happend :
"sudo cp joydev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/kernel/drivers/input
"cp: cannot stat `joydev.ko': No such file or directory"
so after reading several times this topic I add kernel module 2.6.26.8-57.fc8.i686 from add/remove software and try :
"sudo cp joydev.ko /lib/modules/2.6.26.8-57.fc8/kernel/drivers/input
cp: cannot stat `joydev.ko': No such file or directory"
At ths point Iam stuck...i miss somethng? or i left something behind?
Any ideas?

 

If any ones interested i got ZSNES going by going to this page http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 6.rpm.html

And downloading the first download link.

 

Well, not to be picky, but I think you should use: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 6.rpm.html
The reason is that the link I posted is for Feodora 8 which linpus lite is built on and the one you posted is for the newer feodora 10.

 

new link?, the original seems dead

 

Thanks all ; I could configure the emulators correctly, and they are now working very nicely. I realize that playing retrogaming on AA is really good.

PS : sideways, your tip about the sound on Zsnes is amazing :=)

 

I have read through the posts and I am a little confused. I would like a DS emulator running on the AA1. I have tried to download and install Desmume but without success.

Can anyone recommend a DS emulator that works on the AA1?

Thanks for any help you might give.

 

thanks a lot for these hints sidewways.
i'm wondering where to find a pSX emulator for th AAO. Can anyone help? :geek:
