Once I get my windows vm setup I'll package a Windows build soon

Time to give this some love, I guess. Any specific dependances?

mostly related to gtk something I should of added to my post, you will need to install libglademm-2.4 and libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2

Awesome, thought this project had been abandoned! Great to see I was wrong.

heck it's far from abandoned in fact we are planning some awesome stuff atm just the reason why there hasn't been too much news about vba-m releases (other than atm bug fixes that mudlord has been working on

One question, does the linux version not have a throttle feature ? I installed like demonstrated on your sourceforge page.

svn co https://vbam.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vbam vbam
etc etc etc.

Will it be implemented ?

yes, zach is right, there's loads of stuff im sure we want to happen. Its just the matter of me finding motivation to really get into things.

:O I Have this version, sorry for the before Question jeje :$

Well , someone know , in which specific version, be included the "Cheats" GUI ?
I Wanna to try something, but i need to use the "cheats"

Plz somebody tell me, i can use the "Xploder" cheats codes with VBA-M ?
or just GameShark , GameGenie ??

the vba-m gtk gui atm doesn't support a cheats dialogue buuut the sdl binary does support the cheats via commandline which I never really got into so I can't really help you there, I'm mostly a windows user that can get around linux when it comes to compiling and such

Hi there , you know the emulator Snes9x ??? well BearOSO , makeit an Awesome GTK Port called Snes9x-gtk , for debians users you can add the PPA Repository with the Follows command in a terminal :

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv C71839136CF5CE97 && gpg --export --armor C71839136CF5CE97 | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bearoso/ppa/ubuntu lsb-release main #Snes9x-gtk" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'

sudo apt-get update

If you wanna PPA with VBAM Gtk :

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv EEB23232 && gpg --export --armor EEB23232 | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ripps818/ppa/ubuntu lsb-release main #VisualBoyAdvance-Merge" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'

Well you can tell to BearOSO , to Help you with the GTK Version ???

Well i think the GVBAM need more things , for example when i Run "Emesene" if i run too Gvbam and load ROM , the ROM Ever Start , but i run Snes9x-gtk , works perfectly ^^

and i see the GTK Gui Need more Options what the emulator have , for Example "Cheats" ( GameShark , CodeBreaker , and more )

Well the "Bilinear" i think dont be a Filter in that list , i think the Bilinear and Bilinear Plus should be Options Above the Filter , to Use 2 Things for Example , in a Monitor with much Resolution , if you play in FullScreen i think the best options for Video in cases like that

1 - Activate Bilinear Plus , 2 - Use a Filter like 2xSai , and this make more better the Graphics ^^

Well this is just an idea , but if possible i like it ^^
Well i wanna make a Spanish Translations for the GTK Gui of VBAM , i make it translate to Spanish in Snes9x-gtk ^^

Im User of AMD64 ^^ (Now Using Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10)

Well GoodBye , Thanks for Readme , and i sorry for my bad english :$

Hello,
as I use Fedora, I cant use the .deb file. Is there a way to generate a zip file with the necessary files? Like mupen64 does? (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/)
It would be terrific

(Translated from French by Google Translation ... sorry!)

Hello!

I copy here a message posted earlier on the forum ngemu.com, because I just see that there is a topic dedicated to the Linux version of VBA-M here.

Quote:Good morning.

I use the Linux version of VBA-M, which works much better with me that VBA!

However, I find this Linux version is much neglected in comparison to the Windows version: It miss many features.

The feature that most needed in my opinion is the emulation of the internal clock of the GBA -called "real time clock" I think. The latter is essential to fully enjoy games like Pokemon.

Do you plan to put in the Linux version of VBA-M? Or at least add the essential functions of the type of emulation of the internal clock?


Texte original en français:

Bonjour.

J'utilise la version Linux de VBA-M qui fonctionne bien mieux chez moi que VBA!

Cependant, je constate que cette déclinaison Linux est nettement négligée en comparaison de la version Windows: Lui manquent beaucoup de fonctionnalités.

La fonction faisant le plus cruellement défaut selon moi est l'émulation de l'horloge interne de la GBA -nommée "real time clock" je crois. Cette dernière est indispensable pour profiter pleinement de certains jeux, dont les Pokémons.

Prévoyez-vous de mettre au niveau la version Linux de VBA-M? Ou au moins d'y ajouter les fonctions essentielles, du type de l'émulation de l'horloge interne?

as i said on ngemu, the same basic functionality should be included in the linux ports, just a matter of ensuring the function is enabled on compile, and that the setting is set in the configuration for the emulator.

I installed the deb package available, ie the version SNV877.

Here's a screenshot of the Windows version SNV926, emulated by WINE, showing the menu where the option to emulate the internal clock appears (selected):


Now, here is a screenshot of the Linux version SNV877:

We see the same menu where the option cited is not available this time, like many others too, not only in this menu...

the linux gui is half arsed, but the settings should all still be available in the configuration file.

Google translator does not know "arsed". ^^'

However, the option is not present in the configuration file:

Do you plan to improve a bit Linux interface of VBA-M? ...

try adding rtcEnabled=1

I added the entry to the end of "[Core]", "emulator_type=0" under.
Unfortunately, it is deleted when I run VBA-M.

tracking this as bug Synchronise Platform feature/function set.

Thank you very much Squall Leonhart!
I hope this feature will be added soon. ^^
