@ISwitchedToLFS: Either your certificates are missing DigiCert Global Root G2, or your dns is pointing at the wrong thing, or you have a man in the middle. None of which are under the control of this package.
Edit: Or there was a temporary problem with that Azure host.
/sources/glfs/slfs/emulator/nintendo/unofficial/Mesen2/UI/UI.csproj : error NU1301: Unable to load the service index for source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json. The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception. The remote certificate is invalid because of errors in the certificate chain: UntrustedRoot
Please note that Mesen2 currently appears to be broken on Wayland with hardware acceleration (most things render fine, but the main window is blank during gameplay).
To fix: either unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER (or set it back to x11), or enable the software renderer (Settings > Video > Advanced).
My only source was IRC comments about how .NET makes non-standard use of ELF structures.
As for package behavior, building with !strip debug causes the binary to be about 32MB smaller, and corrupt.
Thanks for the swift fix.
@kode54: Huh. Do you have a source for that?
I've pushed a new pkgrel that disables !debug.
The package needs !debug as well, as debug still manages to break this package. Thanks, Microsoft, for your ELF breakage.
@xiota, well, i switched to sway a couple of months ago, but i'm still having the same issue. maybe wayland's the culprit? too lazy to setup an xorg environment to test...
@ISSOtm, it looks like i can't open an issue for mesen2 on the github at all, so i dunno how i can report that to sour...
