Launch snes9x and vbam fom command line?

Postby altiris » Tue Dec 23, 2014 9:32 pm

Raspberry pi model B+
memory split set to 128 (videos play fine in xbmc)
gpu_mem_512 is set to 128

I can launch emulationstation but when I try loading up snes9x-cli and vbam-cli I get an error about SDL failing to load (log is below). However if I go into an lxde session and launch the programs I get a window for snes9x that window stays black and for vbam the window turns red. Is it just not possible to launch the emulators in command line only? However I can launch xbmc and emulationstation just fine from the command line which is odd. Do I need maybe need to install snes9x-gtk and vbam-gtk (although GTK requires a session)?

From googling your errors, this looks to me like it is an emultionstation or snes9x problem. you might have better luck getting help at a forum devoted to one or both of those. There is a tech support forum at http://www.snes9x.com
