Interestingly there is a amd64 package for zsnes in intrepid-updates. Anyway zsnes in there does segfault on me immediately. So either that one is miscompiled or it does compile but does not work afterwards. There were attempts documented in Launchpad to fix it but it looks like there was no complete fix yet. Thus I want reports that it really works on amd64 and afterwards we could NMU it in Debian with the necessary patches as the package looks neglected to me anyway. Kind regards, Philipp Kern
