[[http://www.zsnes.com|zsnes]] is a GPL Super Nintendo emulator. = Download/Installation = zsnes is very easy to install since it is available in Synaptic from the multiverse. {{{ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install zsnes }}} However, zsnes conflicts with the WikiPedia:Enlightened_Sound_Daemon (esd). We can fix this by killing esd before running zsnes and restarting it. We can create a script to do this. For the sake of demonstration, we will use a folder called ~/scripts, but you might put it in the same folder that zsnes was installed to. Copy and paste the following into gedit. Save it as ~/scripts/zsnes.sh. {{{ #! /bin/sh # Runs zsnes. # Since zsnes doesn't like having esd run at the same time, we have to run # kill esd. But we want it back up and running again so that we can play # music and stuff. killall esd zsnes esd -nobeeps & }}} = Start = Start the game {{{ ~/scripts/zsnes }}} In a terminal, set the permissions to allow users to run the script. {{{ $ chmod 755 ~/scripts/zsnes.sh }}} Now you can run the script by double clicking on it. Alternatively, you can set it up as a menu item using smeg. ---- CategoryGames
