[Freevo-devel] zsnes won't load a file from command line

[Ben Ford]

I'm trying to run zsnes with freevo, and for the life of me, I can't get zsnes to actually load the games. Freevo calls it with the game as a parameter, but zsnes just opens up it's gui with the menu ready for you to browse and load a game.

I even tried running zsnes manually under strace to see what was happening, and it never even *tried* opening the file.

-- start strace --
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ strace zsnes /home/ben/game.smc 2>&1 | grep smc
execve("/usr/games/bin/zsnes", ["zsnes", "/home/ben/game.smc"], [/* 50 vars */]) = 0
-- here is where it sat after zsnes loaded.

stat64("game.smc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3146240, ...}) = 0
stat64("game.smc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3146240, ...}) = 0
stat64("game.smc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3146240, ...}) = 0
-- and this is after I opened the open file dialog

open("game.smc", O_RDONLY)              = 8
-- and here is it finally loading the game after I selected it.

Anybody know what's going on? I even cut+pasted the command line from the damn help output and it did the same thing.

zsnes 1.36 & 1.37_pre20040803
gentoo linux
2.6.8.1 kernel
2 separate systems, one w/ reiserfs and one with jfs
