<p>The most recent changes to fceuX are reflected immediately in the fceux
|
2020-12-11 02:43:50 +00:00

|
|
github server. You can checkout the source code to build
|
2012-02-10 05:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
fceuX with the most recent sources by running the following command:</p>
|
2021-10-16 18:08:47 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><b>git clone https://github.com/TASEmulators/fceux.git</b></p>
|
2020-12-11 02:43:50 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Instructions for compiling and installing fceuX can be found in the "README" file.</p>

<a name="config"><h3>How do I configure a gamepad?</h3></a>
|
2020-12-11 02:43:50 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Using the Qt GUI, you can configure the gamepad by
|
2012-02-10 05:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
selecting "Options...Gamepad" in the menubar.</p>

|
<a name="sound"><h3>My sound is stuttery/laggy. How can I fix this?</h3></a>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Try using different SDL audio drivers. You can set the SDL audio driver with
|
2012-02-10 05:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
the following command:</p>
|
2010-03-03 09:27:22 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><b>export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=driver</b></p>
|
2012-02-10 05:50:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>where driver is: esd,oss,alsa,pulse,nas,arts.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There have been a lot of sound related bug fixes for the SDL port in recent releases, so
|
|
|
|
|
you may want to try the latest version of fceuX to see if you are still having issues. FceuX
|
|
|
|
|
2.1.4 fixed the majority of the reported sound issues.

<a name="timing"><h3>My game is skipping frames. How can I improve this?</h3></a>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The Qt/SDL version of fceux runs two threads. One for the GUI and one for the emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
The realtime OS scheduling and priority of both of these threads can be tuned via the GUI
|
|
|
|
|
timing config options window (accessible via the menu bar). For Mac OSX systems, fceux must
|
|
|
|
|
have root permission to increase process priority. For Linux systems, add the following
|
|
|
|
|
lines to the <b>/etc/security/limits.conf</b> file to ensure that fceux users have the proper system
|
|
|
|
|
resource permissions (requires reboot after editing for changes to take place):
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
* - priority 99
|
|
|
|
|
* - rtprio 99
|
|
|
|
|
* - nice -20
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>

<a name="hotkeys1"><h3>How can I change my emulator hotkey bindings?</h3></a>
|
2020-12-11 02:43:50 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>SDL hotkey bindings can be remapped using the Qt GUI. Selecting "Options...HotKeys" in the menubar.
|

|
<a name="hotkeys2"><h3>Can I map emulator hotkeys to my gamepad?</h3></a>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to map particular hotkeys (pause, save state, load state, etc) to buttons on
|
|
|
|
|
your gamepad, you can use software that allows you to map joystick events to key presses.
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/">qjoypad</a> is the recomended solution for this. You
|
|
|
|
|
can also use <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jkeys/">Jkeys</a> to do this.
