I am able to save and load edited Arkanoid II levels in Nintaco.
I confirm now. Damned, Nintaco is too slow on my old PC with WinXP.

What are the specs of your WinXP box?

I put the latest build in the OP. It includes a bunch of patches to existing features.

Found the vsync setting, it goes slightly faster if I turn off vsync.
With Vsync off, and speed set to max, I can get 85FPS.
I also tweaked the way that the timer functions in attempt to make it more performant on older boxes. Please let me know if the modification helped.

Maybe its the same Jinput issue.


Is there anything that would make netplay better/worse than nestopia+kaillera p2p? Or should it be roughly the same?
There is a file in lib/native called libjinput-osx.jnilib Can you rename it to libjinput-osx.dylib and try again?

Also, for anyone who can test this under Linux, can you check the error log in the system subdir for issues? Thanks.

Scans through all the /dev/input/eventXX nodes, which means I can't use keyboard input. It does correctly work with an external USB controller ... at least once I fix the same stupid permissions issue that bit me with Mesen. (For some reason, /dev/input/jsX are world-readable, but their corresponding /dev/input/eventXX node for joystick HID devices aren't)

Googling suggests the same:

Though, I wonder why fixing permissions does not solve the keyboard issue.

I mean, it should, but unlike with the joystick I'm insufficiently confident that it's "safe" (whatever that means) to override the restrictive permissions for my primary input device.

Ah. But, does that mean if you did issue the proper command, it would likely fix this issue?

I mean, sure, in the same sense that running things as Administrator under WIndows XP would solve an issue...

Well, the best I can do at the moment is to document how to abuse your environment to make it work. My Unix knowledge in general is quite limited. If possible, could you provide the least invasive commands that would enable a user to run this under Linux and the consequences of said commands?

Nevermind, I'm wrong. Even after having made all the /dev/input/eventXX nodes world-readable, keyboard input doesn't work in the button remapper, and system.log just says

Ouch.

It looks like even Minecraft had this issue back in the day:

I'm not sure if any of that information helps.

I'm gonna post to hope and see if the dev even sees this.

A problem that I seem to be having is with the C api. Whenever I try to run getPixels(api,pixels) in the FrameListener, once the function escapes the program will segfault. I made sure to make the array size is 256 * 240, I have tried both dynamically allocated memory and array on the stack, both cause a segfault.

I am using the latest versions of both the api and the emulator from 5/1/17 .

Sorry about that issue. I'll try to patch that this weekend.
