Mednaffe message Error: No mednafen configuration file found. Mednaffe is 0.8.8

polsvoice commented 6 years ago

Do you have a mednafen.cfg?

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Yes, in /home/~/.mednafen

But mednaffe ignores it.

The contents of the folder are as follows:

b/ cheats/ dir.txt firmware/ mcm/ mcs/ mednafen.cfg mednafen.lck palettes/ pgconfig/ sav/ snaps/

Ok ?

Hope it helps.

Same problem. I followed the steps the build and install, then when I type "mednaffe" at the command prompt, I just get this error (in a dialog window).

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

Please, paste here the command output of mednaffe.

geajack commented 6 years ago

So, I downloaded mednaffe-0.8.8.tar.gz, extracted it and went into the extracted mednaffe-0.8.8 directory. I ran:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

make install gave me some error involving permissions, so I tried running it with sudo, which seemed to work. Having done that, when I now enter mednaffe at the command line, I get:

Error: No mednafen configuration file found.

in the prompt, and a dialog window showing the same message. Mednafen is installed, of course - I can run it fine from the command line.

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

Hmm, can you paste the command output from mednafen emulator?

You are using 0.9.38.7 version of mednafen emulator. Mednaffe 0.8.8 needs 1.21.1 or higher versions of mednafen emulator.

The last version of mednaffe that supports 0.9.38.x was this.

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Mine is 1.21.3 and Mednaffe does not find the config file either.

I downgraded both Mednafen and Mednaffe, so, it's working. But latest version is not working as it should.

Regards,

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

I have upload here a modified version to print more verbose output and maybe it gives us a clue.

You could compile it and paste output here to help me to detect the issue.

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Ok, excuse me for late response, very busy this week.

Gonna get the code and make it work, so, to see what it tells us.

Regards,

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Nope. The link is dead, it says: A Google account for the site owner has been disabled because a violation of the Terms of Service has been identified. The site owner needs to restore their Google Account so that the site can be viewed again.

Well, you can upload to Mediafire or Mega.

Ok ?

Regards,

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

It seems that Google suspended my account (!?). Ok, bye bye Google...

I uploaded the modified code here. Sorry for inconvenience.

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Ok, gonna see that file tomorrow.

Thanks,

Regards,

jdwininger commented 6 years ago

The uploaded TEST source fixed the no configuration file found problem for me. Thank you.

alebersol commented 6 years ago

I second jdwininger, now it works, it detected my Mednafen(1.21.3) and opened the main screen.

Gonna test the rest of it now, but, I think it will work as usual.

Regards,

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Ok, did test it against my Mednafen 1.21.3 and it works great, as it always did.

I sent to my distro the rebuilt package, with your new sources, so to update the package in our repos.

Thanks for your response, you rock!

Regards,

Ps.: Can close this one, solved.

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

Hmm, one moment... Those test sources do not have significant changes. It just print a few variables to console output. Does test version work fine but normal version 0.8.8 does not?

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Exactly! The normal 0.8.8 dos not find Mednafen, but this test version worked great, as it has always been in past versions.

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

Did version 0.8.7 work well for you?

alebersol commented 6 years ago

I skipped that version, jumped from 0.8.6 to 0.8.8

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

The only relevant change was this.

Are you using MEDNAFEN_HOME environment variable? (You can look it with the command printenv.)

Did you get any warning when compiling 0.8.8? Also, what is your distro?

alebersol commented 6 years ago

No, it doesn't use the MEDNAFEN_HOME variable.

I got no warning when I compiled the 0.8.8

My distro is PCLinuxOS.

Ok ?

Regards,

AmatCoder commented 6 years ago

Well, I think that I see the problem...

You did not compile and use normal mednaffe 0.8.8.

You are complaining about a RPM package from PCLinuxOS. This package is wrong because somebody built an old version from master and packed it as '_mednaffe-0.8.8-1pclos2018.x8664.rpm'. But is not 0.8.8 version.

The official releases are here. To create a package must use these files.

alebersol commented 6 years ago

Oh, Ok then. Could be the prior version was not 100% Ok ? It's me who packages for PCLOS these packages (Mednafen and Mednaffe). And, yes, I might have gotten the wrong package, since I do a lot of packaging. But, it's all good now. Can close this one as solved.

ShneekeyTheLost commented 6 years ago

I am having a similar issue, but I downloaded directly from this github. Running Linux Mint. Does not seem to have a MEDNAFEN_HOME environment variable when I use printenv. The mednafen directory is simply $HOME/.mednafen so I don't see how it should be a major problem to find it.

Tempted to add the environment variable manually.

EDIT: Apparently, I had previously installed a lower version of mednafen, and it was still 'reading' that older version. by using make uninstall then installing the new version of mednafen, I was able to get this to work flawlessly. Apologies.
