VisualBoyAdvance-M SVN877 [linux only release at this moment]

[ufa]

Hello,

as I use Fedora, I cant use the .deb file. Is there a way to generate a zip file with the necessary files? Like mupen64 does? (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/)

It would be terrific [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hello!

 

I copy here a message posted earlier on the forum ngemu.com, because I just see that there is a topic dedicated to the Linux version of VBA-M here. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

Good morning. 

I use the Linux version of VBA-M, which works much better with me that VBA!

 

However, I find this Linux version is much neglected in comparison to the Windows version: It miss many features.

 

The feature that most needed in my opinion is the emulation of the internal clock of the GBA -called "real time clock" I think. The latter is essential to fully enjoy games like Pokemon.

 

Do you plan to put in the Linux version of VBA-M? Or at least add the essential functions of the type of emulation of the internal clock?

 

 

Texte original en français:

 

Bonjour.

 

J'utilise la version Linux de VBA-M qui fonctionne bien mieux chez moi que VBA!

 

Cependant, je constate que cette déclinaison Linux est nettement négligée en comparaison de la version Windows: Lui manquent beaucoup de fonctionnalités.

 

La fonction faisant le plus cruellement défaut selon moi est l'émulation de l'horloge interne de la GBA -nommée "real time clock" je crois. Cette dernière est indispensable pour profiter pleinement de certains jeux, dont les Pokémons.

 

Prévoyez-vous de mettre au niveau la version Linux de VBA-M? Ou au moins d'y ajouter les fonctions essentielles, du type de l'émulation de l'horloge interne?

as i said on ngemu, the same basic functionality should be included in the linux ports, just a matter of ensuring the function is enabled on compile, and that the setting is set in the configuration for the emulator.

[onizou]

I installed the deb package available, ie the version SNV877.

 

Here's a screenshot of the Windows version SNV926, emulated by WINE, showing the menu where the option to emulate the internal clock appears (selected):

 

Now, here is a screenshot of the Linux version SNV877:

We see the same menu where the option cited is not available this time, like many others too, not only in this menu...

[Squall Leonhart]

the linux gui is half arsed, but the settings should all still be available in the configuration file.

[onizou]

Google translator does not know "arsed". ^^'

 

However, the option is not present in the configuration file:

Do you plan to improve a bit Linux interface of VBA-M? ... :xso_cry:

[Squall Leonhart]

try adding rtcEnabled=1

[onizou]

I added the entry to the end of "[Core]", "emulator_type=0" under.

Unfortunately, it is deleted when I run VBA-M.

[Squall Leonhart]

tracking this as bug Synchronise Platform feature/function set.

[onizou]

Thank you very much Squall Leonhart!

I hope this feature will be added soon. ^^
