I have problem with FCEU in linux.. Sounds are not working..

Initializing sound...Error opening a sound device.



other problem, arrow keys aren't working, I have to use a,s,w,z keys..

I hope you can help, thanks..


(I got everything else working, but sounds. I tried all options, but no sound.. Could someone please tell me what to install to make sounds work? :/ What sound device does it use?)

[lgoss007]

It uses the enlightenment sound daemon.

I only know two ways to try to fix it (there may be more).

1) run at the command prompt
$ killall esd

2) or look at your processes and see if fceu is already open

I tried the first once when I had a similar problem, but it didn't help. I then check my processes and found fceu running (in the background, there was no window open).

Edited to add:
Missed that you were having problems with arrow keys...

To use the arrows simply run fceu like so:
fceu -inputcfg keyboard1 romname.nes

(where romname.nes is your game). A window should pop up requesting your key configuration (it's a tiny window). Warning though, it will ask for each button twice, I suppose to verify you hit the correct button.
