Public bug reported: In the repos many different old versions of snes9x can be found. There is currently a new version (1.51) available in a Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~bearoso/+archive
It is actively maintained, which cannot be said from the cruft which is currently in the Ubuntu repos. That (semi-official) GTK+ port of Snes9x has even advanced features like NTSC filters (to have the same look for your games like they did on your TV set). Snes9x and ZSNES are the only advanced SNES emulator that are worth keeping in the repos. Please clean up the other SNES emulators. Above all the old Snes9x versions should be removed since they can be considered partly broken cruft. Further information: 1) My version: Ubuntu 8.10 2) no Package from the 1.51 version was in the Jaunty repos yet. 3) Snes9x GTK 1.51 should be offered in Add/Remove... 4) Just old and unmaintained versions of Snes9x are offered to be installed (I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snes9express/+bug/316777 to remove those) ** Affects: snes9x (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging ** Tags added: needs-packaging -- [needs-packaging] Please package Snes9x GTK 1.51.61-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
