unique, I was talking about arnim's SNES9x. (thanks anyway!)

Sorry for stupid question:
How start snes9x in full screen mode?
I see only small game image in left upper coner of window.

wiicontrol supports the snes emu pretty nicely:

I have an N800. Is there a download link for the SNES emulator for it? Also, where do I find the games? It would be great to play a Mario type game. I do not have any controllers or a bluetooth keyboard, so it would have to be a game that I could play solely on the N800.

Thank You!

@valia: I don't THINK that there is a way to play on the N800 without a keyboard or wii remote. This is because there are no touch buttons. If you still want to try it, Snes9x has been out on Arnim's website for a LONG time, along with a lot of other great softs.

Ok, This is the "easy" way to do it. There are a lot of much simpler ways to do this via xTerm, but if you can do that, you don't need this guide.

1) install becomeroot or easyroot (now recommend rootsh)

2) install emelfm2 -->emelfm2 download and tips http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18462

3) Download the snes9x from http://pupnik.de/snes9x_15_pupnik.tgz (do this on the tablet)

4) Save the file to you memory card ( anywhere is fine, but for the sake of the tutorial, we will be using the internal slot)

5) Open xTerm, type in "sudo gainroot" for becomeroot (without quotes) or "root" for easyroot (without quotes).

6) type "emelfm2" (without quotes)

7) WARNING: you are running as root, which means you can $@^& up your system if you do somthing wrong ( Don't worry to much though)

8) Now, on the emelfm2 window, navigate to /media/mmc2/ (internal card) or /media/mmc1/ (external card) or /home/user/MyDocs/ (System memory)

9) Double click the snes9x_15_pupnik.tgz file that you downloaded. It should have extracted snes9x and snes9x_opt2

10) Now open up a new xTerm, and type "sudo gainroot" or "root" (without quotes) and "chmod a=rwx /media/mmc2/snes9x" and "chmod a=rwx /media/mmc2/snes9x_opt2" (without quotes on both) You may have to change the path if you downloaded it to a different place. EDIT: Try moving it to /usr/bin/ FIRST

11) Open up emelfm2 again ( like steps 5 and 6), or use the old one (must have root power) (lol, root power ftw)

12) move both of the files to /usr/bin/ (you could also use xTerm for this)

13) You now have a working snes EMULATOR!!!!! But its only command line.....

14) BUT DON'T FEAR! I made a GUI a long time ago because I was sick of the command line!

15) Check this out ---> http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...?t=6954&page=3

16) Scroll down to my post, and download the PySnes.txt attachment

17) Rename the PySnes.txt to PySnes.tar (no, im not gonna re-upload as zip or rar, though someone else can). Then double click the file to extract the pysnes and PySnes.desktop

18) Using the same method to move files, move PySnes.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and pysnes to /usr/bin/

18.5) Ok, looks like you have to do this extra step in Xterm:

type: chmod a=rwx /usr/bin/pysnes

and maybe

type: chmod a=rwx /usr/share/applications/hildon/PySnes.desktop

19) Ok, if all went well, you should have a new program in your "extras" folder.

20) Wow, this took 20 steps.... not that easy I guess. You are DONE!!!

With this GUI, you can run the game in small screen or full screen. If you have trouble selecting files because you have to navigate a lot of directories, thats probably because the path is hard-coded to where my files are. You can change this, but I really think it makes no difference...

Enjoy!

Perhaps someone could package snes and put it to garage.

I can inly get the GUI to work by running ut from xterm, the shortcut does't work. Also, what about a control scheme for the N800?

Please help.

no control scheme for the n800, because its not mapped to touch buttons oir hard buttons. If you have n800, you have 4 choices -> USB/Bluetooth keyboard -> Wii Remote -> xkbd (lol, that would be funny) -> Synergy or x11vnc. If someone could please package this into a .deb and start a garage project, that would be nice! As far as I know, there is no work being done on the Snes emulators, its pretty much dead unless some skilled programmer can finish it. I'm just a lowly moder....

3xternal, are you sure? When you run the GUI on xterm, are you root? Does the GUI work with normal user? You hight have to chmod it, if you did not, thats the only thing I can think of.

There was a link for a snex9x deb on planet maemo some time ago. recently I reflashed my os and the file was corrupt. I followed the instruction on how to run snes on the n8xx and everything went well until it was time to open the rom file. I then went through trial and error until I FINALLY GOT IT! You need a file directory on your mmc that is snesg. put your rom files with the extention .smc in them. There are numerous sites to download these roms. if there are any spaces in the file or letter that are in parenthesis, delete the parenthesis and letter that was in it. In the end you should have a new rom file that has no spaces (make sure to extract the rom first). Open pysnes, select and search for rom file, check open in full screen, start game and BAM! You now have a close to full speed snes. you still need a keyboard (BT or Hardware) to play the games.

hi, i have followed the instructions to install this and its all fine and dandy until i try and start game. and nothing happens. tried loads to get it to work but no use. any advice?
