Visualboy Advance

This is a double post, but I wasn't getting any responses in the "games" section so I'll try here. the download link is here. http://vba.ngemu.com/downloads.shtml I didn't have any luck with any of the versions. I'm pretty bad at installing files onto the AA1 so I don't know if it's me or if this program doesn't work right with the AA1. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I haven't tried VBA but I have been trying to install an Atari emulator on my AA1. The acer version of linux is missing alot of packages/modules that would be pretty standard in other distributions. Using the command line you can figure out some of what is missing. I'm not skilled enough to advise you about specifics. I'm basically giving my self a crash course in Terminal use so I can figure out these things myself.

The point is that you probably need to figure out what dependencies are missing and install them.... Hopefully someone else has more info....

 

I used the Fedora RPMs available at the URL below and it works OK. Sound is a little choppy. I like the VBA express front-end.

Got the same "unhandled exception" This is merely 1/10th of the total error message. hopefully someone can diagnose it.

Well, it looks like something's screwy with your package database.

How did you try to install? Pirut shouldn't even get called when doing rpm -U.

You might try:

Code:

sudo yum autoremove
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install fedora-release

and then try installing again. But use rpm -U, not yum or pirut.

EDIT: clean needed an argument, and autoclean I think is actually an apt command.

 

Installed and working. Thank you.
