FCEUX SDL 2.1.5 SDL README By Lukas Sabota (punkrockguy318) http://www.fceux.com Table of Contents 1. Requirements 2. Installation 3. Compile-time options 4. GUI 5. FAQ 6. Contact 1. Requirements * libsdl1.2 - It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of sdl (1.2.14). * scons - Required to build fceux. * libgtk2.0 (optional) - recomended that you install version >= 2.18 2. Installation Fceux is installed with the scons utility. To compile, run: scons After a sucessful compilation, the fceux binary will be generated to ./src/fceux . You can install it to your path with: sudo install -m 755 src/fceux /usr/local/bin/fceux or by running the install.sh script which executes the same function. 3. Compile-time options You can enable and disable certain features of fceux at build time. To edit these options, edit the SConstruct file in this source directory. The default options here will be fine for most users, but power users may want to tweak these. 4. GUI You can enable the GTK GUI by setting GTK to 1 in the SConstruct build file. Gfceux is deprecatiated in favor of the new GTK GUI. You can disable it at run-time by passing the --nogui 1 option, or disable it build time by setting GTK to 0 in the SConstruct file. 5. FAQ Q. I'm having issues with my sound! A. First of all, for the best sound quality be sure you are using SDL 1.2.14 or later. Versions 1.2.13 and earlier are known to have problems with fceux! Next, try different SDL audio drivers to see if this makes any difference. You can do this by using this command before running fceux: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=driver where driver is either: 'pulse' for pulseaudio 'alsa' for ALSA 'dsp' for OSS 'esd' for ESD There are sound options that you can tweak at runtime through command line switches: -soundq x internal sound quality hack value (0 off) -soundrate x sound rate (sane values: 28000 48000 -soundbuffersize x (in ms) sane values (30, 50, 100, 120) * Running fceux through esddsp is known to fix some audio issues with pulseaudio on some older Ubuntu versions. 6.
