Testers needed for BSNES

[Squalphin]

Hi

Could some ppl please test my RPM Package (it's my first) of the SNES Emulator BSNES so it could be later uploaded to the contribs. The Packages can be downloaded here:

rpm : http://www.filefront.com/14284959/bsnes-0.48-1pclos2009.i586.rpm/
srpm: http://www.filefront.com/14284983/bsnes-0.48-1pclos2009.src.rpm/

_{Edit: Updated SRPM & RPM. Thx to slick50 for fixing}

Downloading now..  Is it pretty self explanatory (Its been a few years since I've used one of these..  it was on windows)?

I think I still have some old ROM's on a HD somewhere.


EDIT:
It seems to open just fine..  menu item is as expected.  How do I start a ROM?  ..mine are all in zip format;  I tried loading one, but nothing happens..  do I need to unzip them (..I don't think I did with my windows emulator ..back in the day)

slick50 is a life saver.

I tested by selecting the zipfile of a pacman clone and it opened right up and played it without unzipping.

..it must be my roms;  i tried them in the other emulators from the repo..  snes9X gives the following output:

Code: [Select]

snes9x /share/Games/Nintendo\ Games/emulaters/zelda.zip
/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Error opening: /share/Games/Nintendo Games/emulaters/zelda.zip
Port 1: Pad #1. Port 2: <none>.
Sound device open failed
Invalid Zip archive.

snes9x returned error code 1
..On to other things.

I was pointed to this page where I got the pacman clone that I used to test.

Google led me to this page:

..but I haven't had time to test again yet (..anybody want to build/fix kchildlock for me   ).

it´s works for me 

[Squalphin]

I have checked the repository and it looks like bsnes has been included
Thx to all for testing

I just wiped / on my kids PC and did a fresh install, but bsnes is missing from the repos...   anyone still have the SRPM / spec?

Did you search this?

[travisN000]

Yes...  that is the one, and it built just fine for 2010 (..sent to Tex's dropbox).  

Now the new version (0.72) is giving me more diffuculty..  

[travisN000]

..just in case anyone is interested, here is my current (working!) spec for bsnes v0.72:

%description
bsnes is a Super Famicom (Super Nintendo / SNES) emulator.

The purpose of this emulator is a bit different from others:
it focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean code.

The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy,
as a result, the minimum system requirements for bsnes are high
compared to other SNES emulators.  The advantage to this approach
is that most all stock SNES ROMs should work without special hacks.

- Built for PCLinuxOS 2010



...I'm going to put my kids to work testing it out tomorrow morning (..its a rough job, but someone has to do it!), and if all is good I will drop the SRPM in the dropbox later in the day.
 

[travisN000]

Kids are testing version 0.72 thoroughly as I type...  

I did find one issue so far though..  this version builds support for reading its ROMs separate from the bsnes binary; when building this component it creates the following files:
     libsnesreader.a
     libsnesreader.so

In my spec I installed these to /usr/lib and then ran ldconfig at %post...  does this seem correct, or should these files be installed elsewhere?  The reason I ask, is that I still have to uncompress the ROMs in order to play them (..snesreader is suppose to give support for reading from zip, etc)
