I get a segfault when selecting the "controllers" menu option. The program author thinks it may be a packaging issue. For more, see http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?34009-BlastEm-0-6-1-Released&p=840166&viewfull=1#post840166

Also, I'm confused about the vasm and xcftools optional dependencies. Are they only for generating the menu.bin ROM, or are they also needed for the Nuklear UI?

Thanks!

Stable version 0.6.2 is out!

Version 0.6.1-1 fails to pass the validity check.

It should work now. I set permissions to the "games" group so if you're not already part of it, you should add yourself.

Plus, it doesn't run out-of-the-box due to permission errors (crashes when trying to run a binary): width: 640, height: 480 Window created with size: 640 x 480 Failed to open shader file default.v.glsl for reading Failed to open shader file default.f.glsl for reading $ ls /opt/blastem/ -la total 448 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 Aug 1 15:15 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 112 Aug 1 15:15 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 387296 Aug 1 15:15 blastem -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4479 Aug 1 15:15 default.cfg -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 47031 Aug 1 15:15 gamecontrollerdb.txt -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 11689 Aug 1 15:15 rom.db drw-r--r-- 1 root root 56 Aug 1 15:15 shaders $ ls /opt/blastem/shaders/ -la ls: cannot access '/opt/blastem/shaders/.': Permission denied ls: cannot access '/opt/blastem/shaders/..': Permission denied ls: cannot access '/opt/blastem/shaders/default.f.glsl': Permission denied ls: cannot access '/opt/blastem/shaders/default.v.glsl': Permission denied Giving +x to the shaders directory fixed it for me.

Consider adding the 'megadrive' keyword, so the package can be found when searching for 'megadrive' instead of just 'mega drive'.

It builds perfect now, including the menu option. Thanks!

darkfm commented on 2017-06-08 03:55 (UTC)

It should be fixed now. I forgot it needed xcftools, also from AUR.

Built successfully without vasm installed. Installed vasm from AUR, and since then build fails with message: _______________________________________________________________ cc -o blastem blastem.o system.o genesis.o debug.o gdb_remote.o vdp.o render_sdl.o ppm.o io.o romdb.o hash.o menu.o xband.o realtec.o terminal.o config.o tern.o util.o gst.o 68kinst.o m68k_core.o m68k_core_x86.o gen.o backend.o mem.o arena.o gen_x86.o backend_x86.o ym2612.o psg.o wave.o sms.o z80inst.o z80_to_x86.o -O2 -flto -lm -lSDL2 -lGLEW -lGLU -lGL -m64 true ./blastem xcf2png font_interlace_variable.xcf > font_interlace_variable.png xcf2png arrow.xcf > arrow.png /bin/sh: xcf2png: command not found make: *** [Makefile:233: font_interlace_variable.png] Error 127 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /bin/sh: xcf2png: command not found make: *** [Makefile:233: arrow.png] Error 127 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
