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

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
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.

Just tryed it out good job.

It seems to run abit slower then the older version tho any fixes?

Me too Puppy's USB Viewer shows the gamepad but I can't get work.

Maybe it's caused by Xorg? It seems that Puppy 1.0.7 (with Xorg) runs slower on my machine than 1.0.3 (without Xorg).

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

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link!
I should have mentioned that I found another link from another post before courtesy of MU but another link doesn't hurt.

I instaled snes9x and zsnes... (i really like snes.... =D )
Snes opens, but shows weird fonts on two rpg games i downloaded.....
zsnes doesnt even run!! (does it have a gui or what?!)- when i try to run it complains about some error in some line 2 or whatever....-

What can i do?!?!

The only times I've come across weird fonts on snes rpgs is when they're translated unofficially. Romancing SaGa comes to mind....but that was on zsnes. I haven't tried Snes9x yet.

Zsnes definitely has a GUI. Did u download it from Puppian's link? I got mine from MU's site on http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Emulators/. Maybe give that one a go. It works for me except it doesn't recognize the directional pad on my Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad. Its still playable if you don't mind using the keyboard.

Yep, downloaded it from the dotpup.de.....
I just click on it and nothing happens, and if i try it on the terminal that strange error happens....


*EDIT* Yes, they are unofficial translation... they r japanese.... u.u *EDIT*


*EDIT* o.O IT'S WORKING!!! (both of them!!! the emulator and the game!!!) A MIRACLE!!!! *EDIT*

Hmmm..wouldn't have a clue about that. Maybe MU will see this post and shed some light into it. For me I just type 'zsnes' on the terminal and the gui pops up straight away...

Well, its working now....
I guess i know what i did... I installed two different zsnes and was trying to open the non-functioning one....
ok, im dumb...

lol i have an as-old-as-my-vintage-computer sidewinder game pad!!!
its not even usb.... have like 9-10 year.... sad to know i wont be able to use it....

Lol...good to hear!!
Puppy's version of zsnes feels much faster than my Unbuntu one. Now if the gamepad works i'll be in snes heaven!

Anybody got a good n64 emulator?

You need to install the drivers of the graphics card.

It runs well, see image(playing killer instinct gold ):

Thanks, if only Switched On Schoolhouse worked in wine, then i could go no windows on my laptop.

Speaking of Mupen64, you wouldn't know where to find a dotpup/pupget, would you?
If not how do i make one?
