| Post subject: | zsnes config question |
I have zsnes installled and running through mythtv, however I have been unable to setup my gamepad to work properly with it. I quit mythtv and ran zsnes from a terminal and the gamepad works fine from the terminal. I also ran zsnes as root and setup the gamepad and it all worked fine. But when I run zsnes in mythtv the gamepad does not work. if I run mythfrontend as root from a terminal the gamepad works fine. so I think this is a user issue but I do not know how to proceed from here. any help would be appreciated. |

Have you ran mythfrontend as the user mythtv in a terminal? Try to do what you want to do then quit the frontend. If there is an error, you should see it in the terminal. |

I ran /mythfrontend -v all >zsneslog in a terminal as user mythtv, I verified which user I was by typing /whoami There were no error messages and zsnes reports detecting the gamepad correctly in the log, it just does not seem to be picking up the correct input config file. I also tried starting zsnes from a terminal using the same command line options as myth passes to start it. the controller worker fine with those command line options. I did this for both mythtv user and root user. Do you know how I can change the command line options mythfrontend passes to start zsnes? I was thinking that if I could start zsnes with the gui enabled (by default mythfrontend disables the zsnes gui) I could configure the controller from there, or at least see where it is trying to call the input config file from. |

You'd have to edit the string in the db. Sorry, I have not done this so I cannot give exact direction. Be sure to backup the db first. Webmin is your friend. Be sure to backup the db first. |

I found an easier solution while googling on how to modify the db. I wrote a little shell script to start zsnes with the options I wanted and pointed myth to it, reconfigured the gamepad, then pointed myth back to the real zsnes and problem solved. Thanks for the help |

The general pattern for updating the settings table can be found in this thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5179 The key you want is probably one of these: Code: mysql> select * from settings where value like '%nes%';
