I have a few questions:
1) I use an Xbox360 controller as my primary XBMC remote. I was able to program the controller for Zsnes, but I can tell that it is also navigating through XBMC in the background. How do I disable the controller in XBMC while using it in Zsnes, or any other emulator for that matter?
2) I can't get my sound to work on my Acer Revo going from HDMI to the TV. I've tried various suggestions (-ad alsa, -ad sdl, -r 6, etc), but nothing's working on that front. Any suggestions?
3) When I first enter Zsnes, I get a blank screen. I must then type \ on my keyboard to get to the game. What do I need to do to resolve this?
4) When I first tried to run Zsnes, it asked me if I'd like to import the roms. Choosing Yes would cause it to sit there and say "Please Wait" indefinitely. I know that at this point, there was no /.zsnes/ directory. At some point - I have no idea what I did - Zsnes did import the game and I could then play it. I also noticed that a /.zsnes/ directory was created. I'm now having the same problem with mupen64plus, and have no idea how to proceed.
EDIT: When I pressed "C" on the launcher name and pressed "Search". It asked me for arguments, which I bs'd through as I was pretty sure I'd already defined these in the launchers.xml file. Anyway, something about that process made it work. Since I'm going to be making a full tutorial of this process, I'd like to know what caused this and what I should do about it in the future (hopefully something that seems more legitimate).
5) EDIT: Figured this one out. Disregard
