You mean, MAME cannot be incorporated into Mednafen? Since Mednafen is GPL, there would be no problem with incorporating Generator, or Gens, or DGen into it.

That's why I said I hadn't discovered it. Thank you. But the other issues still remain.
>I would try to fix your sound setup, because SDL can output to ALSA, ESD, whatever you like. See: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fenvvars
Erm, that page is not clear enough. Do I have to write a program to set those variables?
>Anyway, Generator isn't dead, it's just dormant.
Oh.
>I assume you can't use Gens because you're non-x86?
I don't want to use Gens because:
1- They don't offer precompiled binaries for GNU/Linux, unlike Generator.
2- Compiling it from source is a pain in the rectum - at least with the last GCC version.
3- Even when I manage to get it compiled, the sound is SOOO crappy.
4- Even if I managed to ignore that the audio quality is poor, the sound output lags about one second behind the video.
Yes, I have complained about that in the Gens forums. There's only ONE GNU/Linux user there (Tomman, using FC4), and he says everything works fine for him, so no luck. After many failed attempts at solving my problem (use CVS, change the audio driver, and so on), one guy told me to use Kega. With WINE.
No way. I'd rather use Generator than Gens, but I would like it to work. |
