hmmm, I did have trouble with the bit too, but got a different error. I needed to install bzip2 ("apt-get install bzip2" as root) then it was fine. If that doesn't solve it I'm not sure what it could be...did you try running that command as root?

Do you have to chmod the file first? I'm no linux guru but could be an idea...

I've been playing with the .cfg to see what it's like using the full screen and it looks amazing! I've set the resolution to 800x480 and turned off scanlines (set transparency to 100)...and its very clear! With scanlines it looked bloody aweful.

quick screen grab:

OMG i have finally got it going, small screen but hey it's working.

Thanks whaleyboy for the heads up on the apt-get bzip2 that has done the trick.

How did you alter the screen cfg?

Re: Atari Lynx emulator
 
edit home/user/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg and change lynx.xres to 800 and lynx.yres to 480. Make sure you also set lynx.scanlines to 100.

Through xterm?

and

Does it store the settings automatically?

I used LeafPad to edit it. Grab it from the app manager and type "leafpad /home/user/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg" Make the changes and save...you can keep leafpad open while you test the new settings. Making a backup of the cfg file is probably recommended too. Oh and ctrl-f in leafpad to search for the specific line you need.

Graphics and speed are fine, slight problem with sound it only kicks in when i press CTRL + BACKSPACE then go back into the screen.

But it is early day's i suppose. :)


A few screenshots to show the quality.

For some reason sound has stopped working completely now. Getting this error:

Initializing sound...
Using "ALSA" audio driver with device "hw:0":ALSA Error: snd_pcm_open(&alsa_pcm, id ? id : "hw:0", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0) Device or resource busy
Error opening a sound device.


Minimizing the app and going back into it doesn't solve it.:(

lol Nope haven't changed anything sound related in the config file. Might try reinstalling it and see if that fixes it.

@whaleyboy

Any luck on getting sound back?

@ All

Is anyone working on a GUI for this port?

whaleyboy 2010-07-21 19:56

Re: Atari Lynx emulator
 
Yeah I figured out how to get sound working. If I have my phone profile set to "General" and start mednafen I don't get sound. If I set the profile to 'Silent', start mednafen, and then switch back to "General" the sound will come on. Must be something to do with the sound device being busy error I was getting.

Hi,

Only just found this thread - been looking for a Lynx and /or ST emulator.

Hatari for the ST seems like a pain to set up and not very useable which is a shame, there were some great games on the ST (stunt car racer springs to mind..) and on a TV-out this would be amazing.

Is this Lynx emulator useable? Did a UI get worked on does anyone know?

Thanks
