ZSNES updated to 1.4.20 (DotPup v002)
(thanks Alucard_the_dex for reminding me about that Smile

)

Click the icon in my-roxapps to run ZSNES. Drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut. Right click the icon for help. Installs in /root/my-applications/emulator/zsnes

You may want to change screen resolution to 640x480 (Start --> Setup --> Xvesa Video Wizard) for better game play. If you use Xorg you don't need to do this, the options you set in ZSNES (CONFIG-->VIDEO) will change the resolution for you.
To configure your input device, click CONFIG-->INPUT #1 (for player 1)

Roms are needed to play games. To uninstall, right click the zsnes icon in /root/my-roxapps,
choose 'Uninstall Zsnes'.

===============================================

These libraries are required:
libGL.pup, libsdl.pup (DotPup by GuestToo)
If you have installed Mplayer, you already have them.
Also need libstdc++.so.6.

If you have installed ZSNES before, you may want to backup your /root/.zsnes folder (just rename it).

Puppian, what does zsnes do? Or what is it?

Oh I forgot Embarassed

ZSNES is a very good emulator for SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System): http://www.zsnes.com
This is the second zsnes dotpup I made (1.4.2), the first one (1.4.0) is HERE

To play games you need the roms. For example this is a free legal one:
http://pdroms.de/database/files/SNES/Games/Pacman.zip
You can find more on THIS PAGE.

To play the rom you downloaded, open ZSNES, from the menu choose 'GAME' --> 'LOAD'. Then, highlight the rom you want to play and click the 'LOAD' button (bottom right).

You may need to configure the keys too (from the menu choose 'CONFIG'-->'INPUT').

For better video quality try the different settings in CONFIG-->VIDEO, I have Super 2XSAI checked. There you can change the video mode too (with Xorg I can play games in fullscreen).

ZSNES installs and runs fine but without a "gamepad" it's virtually unusable. Puppy recognizes my Thrustmaster gamepad upon bootup but I can't get ZSNES to use it. When I try to config the keys for Thrustmaster it does not respond. What gamepad are you using by the way? Is there a work around for my particular device? Thanks.

Is there another link to download ZSNES? I tried the link above and it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance! Very Happy
