Do you know what causes this?

-MASTER
i had exactly the same problem as you and on the drnoksnes thread i was told to do same thing and it worked. the thing i notice about this phone is that 1 will act different from the next. post ur problem on drnok thread im sure some1 will help :)

If after a reboot it's stil failing to boot try to launch the following from the console:

Code:
DRNOKSNES_DBUS=y /usr/games/drnoksnes
(one line)

and PM me with the output (since I don't want to contaminate this thread with my bugs :) ).

Any chance you could look at compiling this for diablo?

Unfortunately javicq removed quite a bunch of the Diablo specific code DrNokSnes had so the GUI is not trivially buildable. The emulator itself is trivially buildable in diablo, though.


While trying this I found a potential licensing problem in the code -- it links statically with some random RealNetworks MP3 decoding library, thus the entire program falls under the RPSL, which is GPL-incompatible; but there are some GPL components statically linked too.
I personally won't pursue it (since it's one of those stupid legalese "only in name" changes issue), but I also have to wonder why to use the Real MP3 library...

I'm sure diablo users would have been satisfied with just a command line binary, but I understand the license issues. Tough luck :/

Actually I meant that I don't care about this licensing issue since it's a stupid one. Hehe :D

Here you have the unpackaged binary, and trivial patch to 1.1 source: http://depot.javispedro.com/nit/pico/ (tested with certain popular game; reaches 30 fps; I don't know how to map keys from cmd line).

WARNING: Without a key map you can't quit it.

The original Pico Drive was using that mp3 library to decode audio tracks for Sega CD emulation. I didn't even notice it had a license incompatibility with the rest of the code. If that poses a problem I suppose I could replace the Helix mp3 library with a GPL compatible one.

There's more than two million inhabitants in Barcelona. It's not such a weird thing to share a first name :)

Version 1.2 is out.

*Fixed fullscreen mode for 256 columns games
*Up to 4 slots for quick save/load game added. Disabled by default, you must configure your save/load shortcuts in Controls->Configure keys.
*Sega CD support added
Please note that you must provide your own Sega CD BIOS files (I'm not sure about the legal status of the mega cd bios so I decided to play safe).
BIOS files must be placed in /home/users/.picodrive/bios
