VisualBoyAdvance-M

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.

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...

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

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:

try adding rtcEnabled=1

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

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

tracking this as bug Synchronise Platform feature/function set.

Thank you very much Squall Leonhart!

I hope this feature will be added soon. ^^
