Hi Guys,

Anyone having problems with Nesemu? I can't get it to run. Every time I try to run it crashes back to the Dmenu.

If anyone has it working could they post a copy of their Dmenu emulators.cfg so I can check it against mine.

Cheers

I also can't get it to run without a segfault. The error message said that it couldn't find the nesemu.cfg file. Neither of the readme files said anything about an nesemu.cfg file. That's where I'm at.

Well, the nesemu.cfg is automatically created when you run the emulator. (A lot of emulators do this). Since this emulator is so new, all I can really do is tell you my set up. Sorry if it sounds like i'm being too simple in my explanation but I don't know your knowledge of emulators...

The "nesemu.dingux.dge" file is the emulator itself (and only that file) is in a folder called "nesemu" in my emulators directory.

local\emulators\nesemu

This nesemu.cfg file is created when NESemu is ran for the first time. This file and all the other directories that were automatically created (cheat, shots, state) are in the home directory in a folder called ".nesemu" which also appears to be created at this time. All my .fds ROMs are in a folder also in this .nesemu directory.

local\home\.nesemu

Take a look in your "home" directory to see if this .nesemu directory was ever created and get back to me.....

That is strange. I don't know why this didn't happen to me. All I can recommend is to make your own cfg file. The first couple of lines on mine say:

; nesemu v0.2.3 configuration file
; WARNING: the variable names are CASE SENSITIVE! (for now)

The rest of the data is specific to my Dingoo and how I set it up. Try opening up Notepad, copy and paste this into the file and save as "nesemu.cfg"  Put this in your .nesemu directory and see what happens 

Nope didn't work. Jolu42 can you private message me your conf file or paste the entire contents  please? I do not need the dmenu entry. The nesemu.cfg file contents.

Thanks!

Here is the entire file. Remember, a lot of this info is specific to my files, and paths on my dingoo. I highly recommend editing the file before attempting to use it:

I hope this helps you guys!

I am having the same problem as everyone else. I try to run a rom and it says

curdir= '/usr/local/home/.nesemu/'
determined executable directory to be '/usr/local/home/.nesemu'
error at sdl init!


I've only run .fds files, I use the native emulator for NES games. I just can't believe I'm the only one who got this working.  It ran perfect the first time and I haven't had any problem with it. It even has a nice rip-off of the ZSNES gui. I don't know what to tell you. If there's any other questions you have I'll try my best to help...

The only thing I can think of at the moment is maybe there is a bad version of the emulator floating around...I uploaded the exact version that I'm using on my Dingoo......try using this one:

http://www.neoromcollector.net/nesemu_dingux_v0.1.zip

I installed the most current version from Sep 16th. I got it from this website:

http://code.google.com/p/dingoo-linux/downloads/list

Ok  I have this working perfectly first time with the newest rootfs. Here's my menu entry.

MenuItem NES
{
Icon = "res/emulators/nes.png"
Name = " NES"
Executable = "./nesemu.dingux.dge"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/emulators/nesemu_dingux_v0.1"
}

Use right button, click twice like a mouse so select menus etc. Change cpu speed to 400. If is crashed first time restart it. Can take 15-20 seconds to start.
