snes9x (Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator)
|
|
|
|
Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
|
|
emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES
|
|
and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation. The
|
|
games include some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.
|
|
|
|
When you first run snes9x:
|
|
|
|
- The first thing you'll want to do is configure the controls. By default
|
|
there are *no* controls set up; you'll be unable to play any games! The
|
|
config is under Options -> Preferences, in the Joypads tab. You can
|
|
configure either keyboard or joystick/gamepad controls, but not both.
|
|
|
|
- If the game audio is choppy or distorted, try setting the sound driver
|
|
to Pulse or ALSA (Options -> Preferences -> Sound tab). Specifically,
|
|
avoid SDL audio (unfortunately it's the default if PULSE=no).
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- The package can optionally include the snes9x libretro core, for use
|
|
with RetroArch. By default, the core will be built if RetroArch is
|
|
installed. You can set RETROARCH=yes to force the core to be built,
|
|
or RETROARCH=no to forcibly disable the core. Note that RetroArch
|
|
doesn't have to be installed to build the libretro core, but it's
|
|
useless without RetroArch installed.
|
|
|
|
- Starting with 1.56.1, you might notice some user interface
|
|
differences. This is because 1.55 used GTK+-3.0, but 1.56 and newer
|
|
require a version of GTK+-3.0 that's newer than Slackware 14.2
|
|
provides. So, starting with 1.56, this build uses the GTK+-2.0 UI.
|
|
|
|
- Starting with 1.57, OSS audio is disabled by default. Most users
|
|
won't be affected, since pulseaudio is now the default audio system on
|
|
Slackware, and ALSA is the fallback option. If you *need* OSS support,
|
|
set OSS=yes in the script's environment. You may also disable PulseAudio
|
|
by setting PULSE=no in the environment.
