Pretty consistently, I've crashed Open Emu by going to Preferences, changing a NES control key, and then clicking on either Advanced or Plugins in the preferences. It just crashes, and then I get OS X's Ignore/Report/Relaunch thing.

There are several problems with Save States on the IOSurface branch:

1. Saving multiple states shows up as different ROMs.
2. Screenshots do not work.
3. Sometimes more than 2 states cannot be saved.
4. The set of states is not kept persistent across different playthroughs.
5. In the Save State manager, the list per ROM is not necessarily sorted and sometimes entries incorrectly match up to save state loaded.

A somewhat long list but not very difficult to solve.
1 through 3 were trivial to solve, though 4 required effort.
From the design already set in place, it looks as though the relation between ROM file and save state is meant to be maintained by file aliases. (To handle the case of files being moved.) This is pretty reasonable but the current Cocoa API only support aliases to files and not folders. I got around this by keeping an alias to a file guaranteed to be within the save state.

Lastly, the fifth problem I have not looked at yet.

Something funky in the plugin. Load a rom. Start it. Unplug image output. Replug. Audio plays twice as fast, seems like image does too. Wha?

HEllo.

I downloaded my copy of Open EMU yesterday and i worked fine. But when i accidentally saved wrong state in nes and was trying to delete it, it results in that i can´t save any more. When i try to save, nothing appears in the load state window for nes. Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?

I have all of the bundles and they are all up to date according to openemu. Any roms that I have downloaded (nintendo, sms, etc) work fine in the emulator. When I try to use the QC plugins, I get a blank viewer window and an error like the following in the console:

7/18/10 12:49:18 AM Quartz Composer[21387] New ROM path is: /Users/rduarte/roms/mario.nes
7/18/10 12:49:18 AM Quartz Composer[21387] extension is: nes
7/18/10 12:49:18 AM Quartz Composer[21387] Loaded NES bundle. About to load rom...
7/18/10 12:49:18 AM Quartz Composer[21387] ROM did not load.

I have verified the path to the rom. I have tried relative and absolute paths. (A bad path gives a different error anyway). I'm using MacOS 10.5.8, QC 3.1 and I just downloaded all the openemu/examples a few minutes ago so it's all up to date.

Thanks for any help!

Getting new cores window should not only show Version but also display console icon and emulator name.
Showing versions only is very confusing for first time users as they would only pick the highest number.

Using the SNES emulators on Mac OS X 10.6.3:

-MacBook 1st Generation CoreDuo Intel gma 950
--snes9x lots of visual tearing, fixed by disabling quartz extreme using quartz debug.

If I disable quartz extreme the graphics run smoothly. I've noticed that in the standalone version of bsnes with quartz extreme enabled the graphics are smooth and when quartz extreme is disabled the graphics performance suffers. Therefore because bsnes in open emu does not provide the same performance as the standalone version maybe something to do with the implementation of quartz extreme in open emu perhaps? Also with quartz extreme enabled or disabled I can get 2x, 4xHQ etc to work as all I get is a blank screen. Nearest neighbour, linear, crt, tv work though.

p.s. on my iMac Core2Duo with ATi card the graphics are super smooth and 2x ,4xHQ work

There is some very odd weirdness going on with the output alpha of images that come from VBA and Gambatte, and some even weirder issues with RGB vs RGBLinear colorspace for the QC output image gamma. I suspect that alpha from these two plugins are inverted, and that messes up RGB, but not linear, because the color conversion algorithm doesnt have the wrong alpha values to convert with. Hm.

It would be nice if the preferences came pre-populated with key bindings for the various systems being emulated. In the current beta, even up/down/left/right don't have any effect without first going to the preferences and assigning them to the various emulated gamepads.

It shouldn't.

The app shouldn't even need to dlopen a core bundle for it to reject old versions.

Example problem:

• old core in ~/Library
• new core built and installed to /Library
• OE opens old one instead of new one, crashes immediately

Idea: keep ABI version in Info.plist?

for example all *.smc files would get a generic icon ... even if its the same icon as openemu itself for starter ?

Besides that, i´m a little confused about the releases...So far you´ve only released Open Emu, not Open Emu QC, is that correct? Or the patches included in the download are the ones you need to be able to use open emu as a pacth in QC?

Anyway, amazing work you´ve done so far, Congratulations.

For example, opening a 7z archive with OpenEmu with multiple game images and clicking "Cancel" will kill the app, and closing the dialog from the corner will render the menus unusable and the app unresponsive to quit commands.

When having multiple emulators for the same console OpenEmu should automatically pick the one last used or currently active, or offer functionality to define a default emulator . Being asked which emulator to use every time you load a state interrupts gameplay very badly and doesn't seem to be a good solution.

If I try to open any of the included QC files, I get a window that pops up that says:
The composition "1 - OpenEmu.qtz" was not restored successfully.
(or whatever file I try opening)

and then a bunch of error details (see attached .txt file) including, but not limited to:
Patch with name "QCPlugInPatch:OpenEmuQCFiltersPlugin" is missing
Patch with name "QCPlugInPatch:OpenEmuQC" is missing

The composition that opens up has Keyboard, Controller Data to Structure, LFO, Clear, Billboard, and FPS Display patches, but nothing else. And needless to say, it doesn't work.

As far as I can tell, Open Emu installed OK (except for these obvious QC problems) since I can play NES and SNES games pretty ok-ish (except for some issues I'll post in other bug reports).

If you try to update bundles, it always opens a dialog for each core, even if there's no update for it. If there are multiple updates, clicking "install and relaunch" for one will quit immediately and throw away what was downloaded for the rest.

1. Odd rendering in animation when changing active preference pane. The toolbar shows up in the resize animation below itself.

2. Command W does not work to close prefs window... :(

3. Selecting a plugin, switching preference pane, and returning to plugin listings renders text white rather than black. shrug

4. Icons for other plugins, CramEmu and VisualBoyAdvance.

Also probably want to make a min size so audio plugin view size is a bit larger, so icons remain visible.

The Open Emu Filters Quartz Composer patch flips the texture upside-down and backwards. Strangely, it only does so when the incoming image is from OpenEmu or OpenEmu NES -- not with, say, the Video Input patch. To reproduce, make a new composition containing the following patches connected in this order:

OpenEmu
OpenEmu Filters
Billboard

Notice that it's flipped. If you connect OpenEmu's image output directly to the billboard, it unflips. If you connect the Video Input patch to OpenEmu Filters, it's not flipped either. This happens with all the four scalers. Incidentally, the OpenEmu CRT Emulation patch does not have this problem.

I tried setting up my SNES keys like this:
d-pad = arrow keys
L and R = s and d
A and B = c and x
X and Y = z and a

But after I set them like that, Left and Right don't work anymore. Everything else works fine, including s and d (SNES L and R, respectively), just not Left and Right.

When I start up with these key settings in place, all the keys works right except s and d, which instead of being SNES L and R, end up being SNES D-Pad Left and Right, respectively. My arrow key Left and Right still work, too.

Twice already, I've lost all my game progress without saving, because my battery ran out while I was playing in full screen.

Mac OS X normally gives a notification when you reach "reserve battery" power, which gives plenty of time to plug in or save.

But, when playing OpenEmu in full screen, I cannot see the usual "reserve battery" notification.

I think the best behavior would be is to exit full screen when the "reserve battery" happens, so that the user can see the notification. Alternatively, OpenEmu could monitor the battery, and give the user periodic notifications.
