Check Terry's infinite combo on KOF 97 !!!

BTW, have installed FBA, it's another great emulator for some neogeo and mame games, but doesn't suport joysticks.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Finally managed to tackle the annoying bug in gngeo that caused crashes in fullscreen mode :D

This also means the loadstate and savestate dialogs are now properly visible.

So download, install, and activate fullscreen in the gngeo-gui configscreen if you have that installed!

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I keep pressing Nemein about the autobuilder but no news yet, sorry for the inconveniences.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I'm unable to load the emulator when using the gngeo-gui app. If I go into terminal and use the commandline I can get the emulator (v7.03) to run (Tested mslug).
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the gui but still no good. When I click the gui icon the program appears to be starting but then just closes down. If i run gngeo-gui.sh it just comes back with "segmentation fault"

Any ideas I can try?

Thanks

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Does

provide additional output?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Afraid not, no. It still just reports segmentation fault. I was able to run the gui in the past but I don't recall this latest version of the gui ever working.

Thanks

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I just read about this new version but will wait a few more days until it gets sorted. Actually I have been using more fba, sorry Ade, you gui is better but the emulation is more fluid with fba and more games available, I have more than 30 versions of KOF, but doesn't support joystick, in the other side gngeo support both sixaxis and joys, now with fullscreen I need to give it a try, but have to wait you fix the problem, or can I reinstall older version if can't start the new one? Anyway thanks for the development of your app, we all appreciate your effort !!!

PS.: Can you tell us what was causing the bug (fullscreen) if not very difficult to understand?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

FBA is absolutely a fine emulator, but for NeoGeo games, I stick with gngeo. Maybe is it also because of that superb gui :D

There is no new version of gngeo-gui, I just released a bugfixed gngeo version, so don't worry about gngeo-gui itself.

About the cause of the crashes in full screen:
for some reason, On Screen Display events triggered a screen resize to 800x480 in full screen mode, which resulted in a segfault.
I just removed a few lines of the code, as this event is totally unneeded on our device. Finding the cause of a crash is mostly the hard part.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Tested and working. Thanks for putting effort into this Ade! :)

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

So I'll see on App Man if there's an update for gngeo, but if I can't start the app let me know how to get the earlier version please. Can I do on XTerminal root ; apt-get update gngeo ?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

The update from gngeo via the application manager is quite old, afaik you already have that one (the one that supports hotkeys).

As the autobuilder is broken for some weeks, we cannot upload new versions. Thats why I attached the file in this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=362

Download it, become root and install this deb file with "dpkg -i gngeo_0.7.0-3_armel.deb" and you are done.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Thanks Ade, I was already checking updates on App Man so I cancel now, will try it right now.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

this game woks on nokia n9??

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui for N900
 

No, I am sorry, just N900. I tried to edit the thread name to make it even more clear, but don't know if that worked out.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

S**t Ade, I've installed via XTerm but when I click on start nothing happens, I can open configurations, romlist, but when start game nothing happens. I have opened gngeo-gui using XTerm gngeo-gui.sh and got lots of Warning Cannot find variable raster in /root/.gngeo/gngeorc then Warning Cannot find variable p1key in /root/.gngeo/gngeorc then Warning Cannot find variable p2joy in /root/.gngeo/gngeorc and many more... showfps . Looks like I have to copy all the files to some other folder, can you help me fix that, I remember when I installed it said cannot find 'something' but forgot to ControlShiftP and don't remember now what it was, fu*k I was curious to see how it would perform in fullscreen to compare better with FBA app.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

DON'T start it using root please, just as user. Starting as root will fail and is not desired.

edit:
to test if gngeo works:
/opt/gngeo/bin/gngeo <path_to_roms>/<rom_name>

to test if gngeo-gui works:
python /opt/gngeo-gui/gngeo-gui.py

- In xterm and as user -

And show me the exact text of any warnings or errors.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Have just tried using XTerm without root , the gngeo-gui opens but the same, any game don't start when clicked start and the app becomes unresponsive. Really would like to see how fullscreen looks and emulation speed, pearphs is better when in fullscreen. If not can you tell me how to go back to previous version of gngeo?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I'm getting unknown or unsupported romset , am writing inside <path_to_roms>/<rom_name> like this

<home\user\MyDocs\roms>/<kof96> and without the <> <> My roms are on the folder roms on MyDocs. Still the same, I can start gui with

python /opt/gngeo-gui/gngeo-gui.py

But the same games don' start when clicked on start button, I think I have to copy the files of gngeo from some place to another or move, but don't mess with those things I don't understand much. Please help me Ade, otherwise I'll just go back to previous version...
Thank you anyway for trying to help me.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Please post the exact command of you trying to start gngeo itself.

In my case it is:
/opt/gngeo/bin/gngeo /home/user/MyDocs/emu-roms/neogeo/lresort.zip

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Ok I got bios files missing, but this is strange as I had all my roms working before. will attach the screenshots... Thank you.

PS.: I will look on google for aes-bios.bin file.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

That is indeed your bios path? And you don't have aes-bios.bin in that folder? Is something moved?

What does:
ls -l /home/user/MyDocs/roms/Bios/
show?

This file was always needed, only the fullscreen issue is changed since the last version.

And remember everything on your device is case sensitive.

Bios path is default placed on /home/user/MyDocs/emu-roms/neogeo/bios, so the update can not have overwritten this setting.

edit: aes-bios.bin should not be needed if universal bios is choosen. What bios do you have selected in gngeo-gui config?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Thanks Ade, I'll check now wich bios, sometimes I use the other options (arcade and home), have just tested, but afraid the bug is still there, I changed the volumen and it crashed, and as I've said before; the fullscreen is not really fullscreen, it just centralizes the output screen, doesn't strech to all screen, and the fps was about 35 to 56, but fba doesn't show fps but seem to be 40 to 60 and most of the time 60, this without overclocking, when overclocked is perfect, pearphs because I tried at default 600mhz and multitasking 3 web windows, photos app, conky and File Manager. Will try later, but thanks, how do you know all of that??? About it not needing the aes-bios.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

The fullscreen is fullscreen in the sense its window is fullscreen. And no, it does not always mean it is also stretched to the dimensions of another device.
When gngeo is in windowed mode, its resolution is still the same, meaning the lower part of the screen is not visible. This means you can't see the save/load dialogs.

Usuallly fullscreen has better performance, but I think in the case of gngeo there is hardly any difference.

I removed aes-bios.bin to check and I could still start gngeo, that's why I know.

It still could be I attached a wrong version in the deb file. Will check that later.

edit: Nah, version is correct, as I expected. What version of gngeo does the application manager tell you have installed, the 0.7.0-3 version, or an older version?

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I installed with X Teminal as you told me, but will check now if I have 7.03, I'm almost sure, because this version requires the aes-bios.bin file and the other one didn't. But it is a shame the bug is still there (fullscreen), even before fscreen worked, just when some screen transition it crashed, to strech I think we need to edit gngeorc?! and rescale to 3 or 4, default is 2 I think, can't remember now. Yes, I was right it's 7.0-3. Does your N900 runs fine without crash when changing volumen in fullscreen??

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

The aes-bios.bin has no relation between the two versions, but nevermind that.
Scale is 2 by default indeed. Changing it to a larger value is not possible. But that is something else then changing the aspect for stretching. Scale 2 is just the double size of the original size.

I never had crashes in fullscreen since the fix.

You can check two more things, and if that does not give a clue, I am done with it.

In x-terminal:
should result in:
Start gngeo to make sure we use the right one:
This should result in a fullscreen start of the game, with stable behaviour when using the volume buttons.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Thanks Ade, will give it a try, I'm still without joysticks, when I fix my usb port will make a new video with gngeo running in fullscreen, how do you know all of that AGAIN??? The X-Terminal comands... Thanks buddy.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I'm still unable to run gngeo using your gui Ade (segmentation fault). Any more ideas I can try? Would love to get this working via the gui.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

In that case, let give it a try.
Good to know gngeo itself works, that rules out a big part.

Then it comes down to python or configs in my mind. If it is a config issue, I would expect gngeo-gui to complain about it.

Good you give me output of the following commands:
And about the last 20 lines from the output of:
when it has crashed with a segmentation fault.

You can attach the output in a textfile if you think the output is somewhat too big.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I tried to start gngeo-gui with the commands and the fullscreen worked the first time, but when I started on the gui directly it crashed when there was an osd transition (volumen), the performance is similar to fba, just fba is more fluid (framerate constant higher 45/60), but when overclocked to 1Ghz it is good. Still have to try the aes file, I got a neogeo.zip file, when I searched for aes-bios.bin, I think the file should be inside the zip, but can't see now as I don't have zip app, I remember I had it before (zip and rar apps) in the other N900, but now can't find it on App Man... BTW, I discovered something, probably you already know; I was trying to install psx4m on App Man, but was'problems' a file similar to libs 700201005m... was needed and I couldn't install, so I tried on X-Terminal via root apt-get install 'nameofapp' and it asked to install the dependency package without authentications I said 'y' then Enter and it installed ok. Sorry for off topic from this thread.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

I always get a bit lost when I read your answers :)

Does it work fine when you start gngeo without gngeo-gui? If so check if you have the correct gngeo path in gngeo-gui in the config menu -> path def. If you are referring to the wrong version of gngeo, that could be the cause.

If it's correct, I don't know anymore.

All looks fine. Please install strace (apt-get install strace) for the last test.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Sorry Ade to bother, but I have been try to install gngeo and your gui but I keep geting this erro.
Any sugestion?
Thanks

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

The path I have is /home/user/gngeo/bin

Sorry, I know my replies are difficult to understand because I'm brazilian, don't know much English... And I mencion other things sometimes in my posts (off topic) .

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

/home/user/gngeo/bin, are you kidding me? That's not my gngeo version over there. I should have removed this path choice earlier. How could it have been that the hotkeys worked with you? Please set the path to /home/opt/gngeo/bin/

@B-RUNO:
Version 0.7.2 had an issue when it is a fresh install.
Please use version 0.7.3, as it has also fixed the fullscreen issue. Unfortunally I can't put this version in extras-devel because of the autobuilder issues.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Ok, thanks Ade I'll set it again and hopefully the bug will be gone, one thing I noticed is that in the opening of kof96 the fps is about 55/60 without overclock, I think it has increased, will change the path and test again.

I've changed the path but still get the bug especially if I minimize and return, volumen changing sometimes doesn't crash... But as I said this version seems to be faster with less slowdowns and more fps. Thanks Ade. Forgot to answer about the hotkeys, the hotkeys are written on the gngeorc txt file, so is the same as all the other keys, I think. I have to check because I remember I set them up on your gui directly, but maybe they get printten on gngeorc as we change the configurations on the gui and I have set them since you introduced the feature.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Thank you very much Ade for your response but unfortunately I get this erro;
Thanks for your patience

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Now that I can upload to extras devel again, I will doublecheck everything for first time installers, and upload a new version.

edit:
version 0.7.0-maemo4 in the repo. Clean install worked fine.

Still found a flaw if directory exists (mkdir: can't create directory '/home/user/.gngeo': File exists), but that is not fatal.

Re: [Announce] GnGeo-gui
 

No Sorry for the inconvenience. Ade your are the one keeping this project alive thank you for this great project and patience.
