NES Emulator (FCEUX) Not Working on .8Beta9
  • mkcroce
    I'm still trying to sort out the NES emulator. I am running a HDMI to DVI cable, and have gone through all of the settings for the resolution that is native to my monitor (it's a Dell 1908FP with a 1280 x 1024 resolution) but that does not fix the problem.

    When I run the emulator from within PiPlay, I get the following:

    Relaunch 7
    Starting FCEUX 2.2.1...
    Loading /home/pi/pimame/roms/nes/Kirby's_Adventure.zip...

    PRG ROM: 32x16KiB
    CHR ROM: 32x 8KiB
    ROM CRC32: 0xd7794afc
    ROM MD5: 0x36ffa102acba11b5c57427d8ac5ad98e
    Mapper #: 4
    Mapper name: MMC3
    Mirroring: Horizontal
    Battery-backed: Yes
    Trained: No
    Power on
    _

    And then the screen goes black for about 5 seconds (you can see the mouse cursor on the top left), and PiPlay restarts...

    Help! Any ideas?

    OK, problem fixed. Detailed information here:
    https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/354

    But bottom line: Exit PiPlay. From command line:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Reboot. Then FCEUX works fine.
