The author reports +that the graphics part of the emulator is nearing perfection to a point +that there's little more to fix. + +This is z26 version 3.x, which may have some issues running on Linux +(depending on your hardware & config), and the authors aren't interested +in fixing them. If you have problems you can't solve, try the older 2.13 +release, by installing games/z26 (which won't conflict with this build; +you can have both installed). + +Specific Linux issues in this version: + +- The config file (z26.gui) is always read & written in the directory + where the ROM image is located. If the file doesn't exist and z26 can't + write to the directory, it refuses to start. This means no root-owned, + system-wide /usr/share/games/roms/2600 directory (even if users can + write there, they'll overwrite each others' config files). + +- The video timing relies on OpenGL VSync. If your card/driver combo is + incapable of this, the games will run insanely fast. Even with VSync + support, the games run at whatever your monitor refresh rate is set to + (for LCD panels this is usually 60Hz, which is correct for NTSC games). |
