| Help with a screw up? [message #2852] |

Hi,
I am relatively new to linux (Ubuntu 12.10), and I built the latest mednafen from source. I didn't like the install directory, so I did a sudo make uninstall, and it seemed to remove the install. I then reinstalled with my chosen directory, and when it completed, and I try to run a game, it says mednafen is not installed, and I should do an apt-get. My suspicion is that it was never completely uninstalled, and I need to remove some more files, but when I do a find on it, I only find 2 empty directories. Can anyone help please? I would like to remove all traces of mednafen, and install again from scratch.

What was your chosen directory?

Sorry for the delay, I installed it to /usr/games/bin
I actually figured this issue out already, but I seem to have run into another one, when launching from XBMC, does this terminal output mean anything to you? Mednafen runs fine for me when not launched from XBMC, but seems to crash or something when it is launched from XBMC. I basically get a black screen that I can never recover from without a hard reboot. Here is teh terminal output:

Why are you using the "SDL" audio driver?
Try running Mednafen in windowed(non-fullscreen) through XBMC, and see if it's your system locking up or just Mednafen.

I am using sdl because it was suggested on the web as a driver to change to if sound was not working from an hdmi displayport. Running in windowed mode gives the same issue, except that this time, I can see the window, which loads up black, and does not respond to anything. Even killing it through the terminal doesn't seem to get it to close. It does push XBMC to windowed mode though, and if I minimize mednafen, refocus on XBMC, and attempt to exit XBMC, the machine completely freezes.

Does this happen if you disable sound entirely in Mednafen?
IE:
-sound 0

It does not have an issue with sound disabled! So, then my next question is, how would I get sound to work, since the defaults setting does not output it correctly? Is there a different driver I should use, or a different method?

It's probably a PulseAudio bug, and that's outside the scope of fixing in Mednafen.
You could try something like:
pasuspender -- mednafen -sound 1 -sound.driver alsa -sound.device XXX SuperPlumberTurtles.nes
where "XXX" is the name of the ALSA audio device corresponding to HDMI output.
Could you paste the contents of file: /proc/asound/devices
?

Since I am at work right now, and cannot try this right away, will it no longer be suspended once mednafen is closed? Just want to check, since once mednafen closes, I would be back in XBMC, and would want sound to operate as usual.

FYI, I got it working with alsa as the driver, an sound.device set to hw:0,8 launching from the terminal, but when I try to launch from xbmc, I get an error on the audio saying that the device is busy... If I try to load in full screen, it works just fine, but with no sound. Is this likely an XBMC bug? It is not releasing the device perhaps?

Possibly?
It'd probably make more sense to ask this on an XBMC support forum, as I'm not familiar with how it operates.
