Actually, I am having one odd problem. After some period of playing games, my remote stops working. Completely - the "clear" button stops working as an exit from the emulator, AND when I return to XBMC using the escape key on the keyboard, the remote is STILL not working.
Is anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: I think I have resolved this by using a different method to exit emulators with the remote (ie, not the method on page 1, which seems to cause my system to lose the remote altogether after a period of time0.

I have the exact same problem as above.
Sound is working perfectly in Desktop mode. In XBMC the sound is also working but Zsnes in XBMC isn't working as it should be.

Hi there.
This is not working for me either. I've audio over a GT430, which works fine on movies and stuff, but not zsnes. I have sdl in both zsnesl.cfg and RCB arguments.
I admit, I've a minimal Ubuntu install, which doesn't run a full DE, so launching these commands outside of XBMC is a little tricky, but I'll look in to that.
Lastly, I'm not able to select a custom Audio Output, I'm unsure how much of a difference this will make.
Any hints would be appreciated.

I got mine working with frodo by following the instructions in the original post exactly, but i had audio ok in xbmc, audio in zsnes when it was ran from the desktop but not from running it via advanced launcher.
i solved this by changing my audio output device to HDA Nvidia, HDMI1 in the system settings of xbmc.
Everything else seems to work ok inc movie audio and music(mp3)
Hope that helps

Hello, excellent guide and tips in replies. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get zsnes working completely yet.
I'm using XBMCbuntu 12. I followed the guide and when launching ZSNES through Advanced Launcher I only got a black screen and the "CLEAR" button to exit ZSNES did nothing.
So I tried using the script that sblackst posted. ZSNES launches but doesn't get displayed, I just see a frozen (-STOP I suppose) XBMC. When I use the "CLEAR" button to close ZSNES it works correctly, closes ZSNES, and I'm able to control XBMC again. It seems the xdotool commands don't work.
For example:
xdotool search --name "XBMC Media Center" windowmap
returns:
Error: Can't open display: (null)
Segmentation Fault
Running with sudo returns the same without the segfault.
Any ideas what my problem might be?
Should I just use XBMCbuntu 11 instead to avoid the wmctrl problem?
Please let me know if I need to include more info.
Actually I've reread the post above mine and it seems I'm having the same problem.
EDIT:
I haven't made any changes and tried launching ZSNES again and this time it worked and the ZSNES came up and I was able to play the game, but when I used the "CLEAR" button to exit it closed ZSNES and the screen went to standby.
I'm a Linux amatuer, so I don't know, but could this be because my "CLEAR" button runs the shutdown.sh script from the guide which does not include an xdotool windowmap command to restore XBMC?
EDIT2:
After reboot Advanced Launcher no longer shows the "SNES" launcher I had configured. Again, I'm no Linux expert, but this all seems very broken to me. Tomorrow I will start over with minimal Ubuntu install, I believe that will be much less headaches.
