Gens/GS r7 (Sega emulator)

[piratesmack]

Compiled on Quirky 1.1
gensgs-7-i486.pet

'Lite' package by dejan555:
gensgs-7-i486-lite.pet

Requires SDL and mesa

I had to remove an annoying root check in g_main_unix.cpp (root likes sega, too!)

Code: Select all

if (geteuid() == 0)
	{
		// Don't run Gens/GS as root!
		static const char gensRootErr[] =
				"Error: Gens/GS should not be run as root.\n"
				"Please log in as a regular user.";
		
		fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", gensRootErr);
		
		#ifdef GENS_UI_GTK
			// Check if X is running.
			char *display = getenv("DISPLAY");
			if (display)
			{
				if (gtk_init_check(NULL, NULL))
					GensUI::msgBox(gensRootErr, GENS_APPNAME " - Permissions Error", GensUI::MSGBOX_ICON_ERROR);
			}
		#endif /* GENS_UI_GTK */
		
		return 1;
	}

If SDL+OpenGL backend fails, try the attached SDL package

Haven't tested this yet but here's a mirror:
gensgs-7-i486.pet

Will test later I think I haven't played sega games since I switched to linux mostly been playing Mame/Snes/N64

Thanks for the mirror

Oops, one more dependency: mesa

[dejan555]

Works for me although video is not optimal but this is on (k)dpup, not quirky, will certainly look into video options or try to compile myself for dpup. Thanks.

Hmm yeah graphics are good now, also I cut package, removed shared docs and libtool .la files now pet is 801 KB:
gensgs-7-i486-lite.pet

[piratesmack]

Thanks

Did you do anything special to fix the graphics?

[dejan555]

Not really I just changed some of config settings, made it use both SDL and opengl backend and applied some of rendering engines.

[piratesmack]

To get the SDL+OpenGL backend to work, I had to recompile SDL with '--enable-video-opengl'

Package is attached to first post
