<a name="intro"><h2>What are the differences between the windows and sdl versions?</h2></a>
<p>A lot of work that has been done on the FCE code base was been windows only, so
some features have not been implemented into the more portable SDL version. </p>
<p>Here is a list of planned features that are currently in the Win32 build
but are missing from the SDL build:</p>
<ul>
<li />Autosaving
<li />Toggle BG/FG rendering
<li />More graphical ways of configuring FCEUX
</ul>
<p>I'm going to reiterate that much of the work that has been done of the FCEUX
code base has been windows only, so some features will probably never be ported
to the SDL version. If you are a casual user that just wants to play old NES games, the SDL
build will be sufficient for you. However, if you want to use the extensive
TAS and debugging features that FCEUX has to offer, you are better of using
the windows build in <a href=http://winehq.org>wine</a>. Here is a list of features
that will most likely never be ported to the SDL port.</p>
<ul>
<li />Memory watch
<li />Ram filter
<li />TAS edit
<li />Most of the debugging features
</ul>
<a name="config"><h3>How do I configure a gamepad?</h3></a>
<p>
You can configure the first gamepad by running <b>fceux --inputcfg gamepad1
/any/rom/name/here/it/doesnt/matter/</b> </p>
<p>When you do this, you'll be presented with a small titlebar with a title
indicating what button to map. The input configurator will look for two
of the same keypress/joystick event. If it doesn't find two of the same
keypresses in a row, it will allow you to map the button to four seperate keys.</p>
<p>FCEUX doesn't keep seperate input configurations for serperate games, it
simply needs a rom to process on the command line. You can even use /dev/null as
your filename in the command.</p>
<p>I'd like to also note that I've started work on a GUI for setting gamepads, but
it is current a WIP, but hopefully it will become functional when I get a chance.</p>
</p>
<a name="lua"><h4>Why do I need lua5.1 to compile/run fceux?</h4></a>
<p>More and more of FCEUX is going to work around its lua scripting system.
FCEUX's lua scripting system leaves endless possibilities for scripts. An option
to compile without lua may be added to a future release.</p>
