SUPER MARIO WORLD not working in Jessie #2

Open nemo1966 opened 8 years ago

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

Blank screen on Jessie, tried gui and manually start

Did you try any other games ? pisnes is not the most compatible emulator - or are you saying this worked in wheezy and now doesn't ?

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

I don't know if it worked on wheezy. Only tried Jessie, but scoured the net for days for an answer and tried all sorts to get it working. The thing is without Super Mario Allstars + Super Mario World the emulator isn't useful at all really (Snes without Mario? Doesn't bear thinking about). Also the Raspberry Pi people are pushing Jessie hard and telling everyone to "upgrade" to it. Tried many Mario roms but all are the same. Space Invaders works though.

HerbFargus commented 8 years ago

I never had it working in my tests. Some emulators just aren't dont support some roms.

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

Oh a real pity, I liked the fact it was standalone. The alternative is to install retropie which is massive overkill when building a Snes emulator.

HerbFargus commented 8 years ago

Retropie is modular and you can only install the things you want on it if you wanted to: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Manual-Installation

joolswills commented 8 years ago

for bugs relating to pisnes btw (that are not related to RetroPie), you should probably report them to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pisnes/ - which is the main repository - this is a fork with a few minor build changes

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

I thought this was the main pisnes repository -sorry

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

Regarding modular install in retropie... well yeah sort of. You still have retropie/retroarch with emulation station sitting on top of it.

joolswills commented 8 years ago

you don't have to use emulationstation. you only need retroarch for retroarch based emulators of course.

joolswills commented 8 years ago

if you skip emulationstation though - you would have to handle controller configuration yourself (we do it automatically via ES + some external scripts)

joolswills commented 8 years ago

check out sudo ./retropie_packages.sh for even more control.

nemo1966 commented 8 years ago

Thanks I will check it out.
