Re: [Lemonlauncher-general] Lemonlauncher on framebuffer

[Josh K. <jo...@sl...>]

Hi Dan,

I haven't used a framebuffer setup before.  I just tried to setup a VM
and use lemonlauncher with the framebuffer and lemonlauncher starts
fine, however I'm assuming that the hang occurs when you try to launch
a game.  In my VM I wasn't even able to get sdlmame to work at all, it
just crashes the VM so I couldn't test it through lemonlauncher.

What version of lemonlauncher are you using?  The release version on
sourceforge (0.0.6) is quite different from the one in trunk.  The code
in trunk uses an sqlite database to store the games list instead of a
flat text file.  Several features where added like a dynamically
updated "most played" list as a result of having the database.

Sadly, I didn't really finish this version.  A tool was needed for
building the sqlite database which never got made.

All this aside, there is much improved code for launching mame in the
trunk code.  If you feel adventurous you could port this code over...
it should be straight forward.  You will want to look at the function:

	lemon_menu::handle_run()

in lemonmenu.cpp.

Or if you feel up to building your games list manually in the sqlite
database, you could even use the latest trunk code.

Regards,
- Josh
