In ubuntu, my system easily recognizes my Gravis Gamepad Pro when using the dmesg command in the terminal window. But in FCEUX, nothing happens when trying to configure the input. Default keyboard commands works well. What to do??

    What version of fceux are you using?

    What version of ubuntu are you using?

    Could you post a little more information please?

    According to the "about" button, I am using FCEUX 2.2svn. (But when starting a game it says fceux 2.1.2 on the top bar of the game window..) I have Ubuntu 10.04. I have just started using Linux and quickly found and installed the NES emulator.

    In the starting screen of fceux i go to the input menu. There it says "select a nes gamepad to configure" and there is four buttons, gamepad 1, gamepad 2 etc. Nothing happens when i click them. There is also a "help" button on this screen. When clicking on it, it simply tells me that "you should be able to figure it out from here". Well, I still havent.. As already mentioned, the default keyboard settings works when starting a game, but I dont know how to change them either. Otherwise the emulator works fine.

    As stated above I am completely new to Linux, so there may be some settings or applications I am not aware of.

    Don't use gfceux. Use fceux

    the gfceux front-end to fceux was abandoned

    if the about box says fceux 2.2svn; you are using the gfceux front-end.

    recompile fceux and enable the GTK GUI

    gfceux is obsolete. thanks for the reminder however, i moved gfceux into a folder called old/ so people won't be tempted to use it.

    Thanks.
    I had only installed the emulator from the Ubuntu Software Center, as linked to in Ubuntu, assuming that this would be the up to date and working version. I have now understood that this was an older version, and I managed to use the terminal to install the current version.

    Gamepad now works fine!!

    But the sound is now delayed. (playing consistently late) We can take that discussion to the Ubuntu forum, which I also found and read.

    Thanks!
