FceuLauncher 0.2

fceulauncher1    

fceulauncher2

    FceuLauncher is a tool that I decided to write because I'm tired of running my favorite nes emulator on the commandline. It works like just about any other emulator frontend except that it doesn't run simultaneously with the emulator; ie it minmizes and just calls the fceu program and then returns when you quit. Essentially what this program accomplishes is the configuration and rom loading of fceu without having to run it from the shell. At the time of writing this program, I didn't know that fceu was actually discontinued. However I'm hoping that someone will grab the source for it and take over the project in the future. If not, I still plan on using version 0.98 because it works great on my machine

Versions of software (I don't know if these are required or not, but these are the versions of the development system). I apologize for the bloatedness and probably uncecessary dependancies, as this program was started using the Anjuta IDE project wizard. Feel free to clean up the code and/or makefile yourself to remove them.

  • Fceu = 0.98.13... //versions of fceu with the old Gtk frontend will NOT work properly
  • Libglade = 2.3.6
  • Gtk+ 2.x = 2.4.9
  • Glib2 = 2.4.6
  • Gnome2 = 2.6.2
  • Gdk-pixbuf = 0.22.0

  • Note: The "use game genie" option requires a game genie rom which I'm unwilling to distribute for copyright reasons.

    Lastly, if the interface looks ugly or unlike the screenshots on your system, email me and let me know (a screenshot would help). This may occur because I used the GtkFixed container for some widgets.

    Download
    Linux tarball: fceulauncher.tar.gz (450 kb)

    Note: I didn't make an "install" target for the makefile, so you need to copy the fceulauncher binary to /usr/local/bin and the pixmaps to /usr/local/share/pixmaps/fceulauncher manually after compliation

    If you use this program and find it useful, let me know :-)..
