<a name="intro"><h2>What's the difference between the windows and sdl ports?</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>
|
|
<li>Hotkey mapping</li>
|
|
<li>More graphical ways of configuring FCEUX</li>
|
|
</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</b> </p>
|
|
<p>When you do this, you'll be presented with a black window with a titlebar
|
|
indicating what button to map. FCEUX will look for two
|
|
of the same keypress/joystick event in a row. 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>Input configuration is planned for gfceux.</p>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="lua"><h4>Why do I need lua5.1 to compile/run fceux?</h4></a>
|
|
<p>You don't! As of version 2.0.3, lua is optional. However, the lua scritping
|
|
engine in fceux is very powerful, and will be used more and more by fceux in the future.</p>
