I'm adding windows resizing now!
I am manually creating a .sym file but not actually involving WLA-DX. I imagine WLA-DX probably wouldn't like it. |

It's on SVN If you fancy trying.
- you can now resize most windows by clicking on the lower-right corner of a window. that include resizing the game box* (not the tiles viewer or tilemap viewer yet) - you can change the font of some windows in the .CFG file. *demonstrating with awful 150% scaling. may or not matter for debugging a game! |

I recently configured this read-only mirror: https://github.com/svn2github/meka for webby monitoring of what's going on...
That scaling is pretty ugly. Is there an easy way to get back to 1:1? |
|

Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:29 am |
i'll set up an official one.
Yes just resize the window! |

Why not allow arbitrary font filename and size specification instead of the fixed list we have right now? I guess some parts really rely on fixed-width fonts, but it would be nice to be tolerant... | |
|
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:15 pm |
Yes I probably need to clean that code up to allow for arbitrary files. However I don't expect people really want to bother to "pimp" and tweak MEKA so much. Right now it'd be more useful if I can add that selection in the emulator and/so some form of scaling. |
|
|
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:31 pm |
I guess so... but all developers have their One True Monospace Font (and even some variable-width fonts) and will want to put it in there.
Consolas hinting for ClearType goes very badly with whatever render you're using :( and the size is somehow much larger than Comic Sans. |

Ok. In a vain attempt to bring this up again. I still have the issue of the game screen freezing or 'sticking' for a frame or so every few frames.
I've tried all the builds I can find. I've tried Windows XP, Vista, 7 32 bit and 7 64 bit. I've tried a Toshiba netbook, a Dell laptop, an AMD based desktop and, finally, an Intel based desktop. I've tried onboard AMD GPU, Intel GPU, a Radeon 9600 and a GTX 780. I've also tried different screen refresh rates (59, 60, 120 and 144 Hz) and resolutions using a new cfg every time. The issue is always present. Surely, I can't be the only person that this is happening to. That's a lot of systems and setups to have tried! |

You said game. Is it a specific game? | |
|
Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:29 am |
The game shouldn't make a difference.
Probably an issue with my synching code, never been good at that. Will look into it, it's not of the issue preventing me to label it 0.80 for real. |

Hello all,
I'm experiencing an strange problem: Meka doesn't detect my joypad. It was previously working with my Fedora 20 system (I remember I had problems to get it to work too, but can't remember what I did), but I then made a fresh install of Fedora 21, while keeping my user folder. What I don't understand is that snes9x and pcsxr DO detect my joypad, but not Meka. Is there a rational explanation? Thanks for your enlightment. PS: my meka.inp content (some buttons are gone because of my tries to assign my undetected joypad buttons), just in case, but there is nothing noticeable. [Joypad 1]
type = joypad connection = 1 enabled = yes player = 1 player_down = joy stick 2 axis 1 dir 1 player_left = joy stick 2 axis 0 dir 0 player_button2 = joy_button 1 player_start_pause = joy_button 9 player_reset = joy_button 6 [Joypad 2] type = joypad connection = 2 enabled = yes player = 2 player_down = joy stick 0 axis 1 dir 1 player_left = joy stick 0 axis 0 dir 0 player_right = joy stick 0 axis 0 dir 1 player_button2 = joy stick 0 axis 1 dir 1 player_start_pause = joy_button 7 [edit] Well well well now it works, but I still don't get why. I did things randomly, merely following what was said here, not really aware of what I was doing. So I installed kernel-modules-extra, but Meka still didn't detect the joypad. After having switched off and restarted my computer, I realize it now correctly works. Is it because of the intallation I made? I don't know. What I can say is before installing this module, I tried to restart my computer with the joypad plugged in, just in case, and it didn't work. Anyway, the point is not here. The point is mainly that after a fresh install (I'm talking about Fedora 20 and 21, I don't know for other systems) Meka does not detect correctly the joypad while other emulators do. It's not really a big deal because I somehow managed to get it to work (with no understanding whatsoever), but it's not really "plug and play", and there ins't any rational explanation yet. By the way, if I'm a pain, it really not is intended. No, really. And sorry if it's messy. :) |

There is a small bug in the controller configuration:
version: meka-2015-02-21-win32-proto but also with: meka-2014-10-04-win32-proto When you have 2 controllers connected to your system and want to use the controller detected as number 2 as player on you can manually fix it in meka.inp. (should only change the player that it is linked to, if you change the connection number for controllers 1 or 2 it gets broken) It might be better if we configure that the controller on connection 2 should be used for player 1 from within meka. Also this link in meka.inp results in a 404: ; - PPJoy joystick driver for Windows 2000/XP ; http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/ |

There is a way to enable bilinear filtering? | |
|
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2015 4:27 pm |
This is the best 8bit sega emulator but it has some lacks, It would be great adding:
- Full resolution Game Gear (I mean 256x192 res instead of 160x144) - Gear to gear feature - Custom size borders for Game Gear games, when they are on 256x192 res. since some games need vertical borders only and anotther games need both like Megaman (a portion of the right side appears left side) - Quad render plugin Well I can test it, but what need to be tested ¿sound? |
|
|
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2015 5:22 pm |
Sorry no bilinear filtering.
Probably should add some extra options to play GG games in full resolution but that's not priority. |

@Bock, could you make meka's debbuging tools for game gear to sms easier to use for rookie ones? and about meka what is needed to be tested since I want to help. (I don't know if I fit) | |
|
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2015 8:43 pm |
I could but I don't have so much programming time for Meka. So by the time I make it better you'll probably won't be a rookie anymore :)
No specific testing needed, test what you naturally need to use. |

USB Joystick bug
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2015 5:03 pm
|
The USB joystick bug is still there in the latest release (WIP v0.80 (01/04/2015)). This is what I've already reported back:
Hi. With most version after Meka 0.73, including the latest one from July 25 2013, as soon as I enable the joypad, the emulator slow down and become "jerky" (the emulator freeze for a faction of a second) and I suddenly see a lot of "PushSampleRequestBufs overflow" . No problem with keyboard or mouse. Meka 0.73 work just fine with my joypad. Tried to switch to opengl and 22050 hz, same thing. I have practically every emulator ever released on my PC and non of them have this issue. If I unplug *every* joystick, still same issue. All drivers are up to date. The strange thing is if I run Meka 0.80 in VMware, no problem at all. I can enable joypad, map my joystick and play a game with my joystick, no slow down. My spec: Windows 7 ultimate 64 fully updated Asrock Z68 Extrem4 GEN3 (USB2 = Intel, USB3 = Etron EJ168) Intel 2500K 16GB RAM Nvidia GTX 660 3 X LCD monitors PSX USB adapter joypad Razer Onza tournament edition Xbox 360 joypad Gravis Extrminator digital gamepad Anker 5000dpi laser gaming mouse Thanks! |

PushSamplesRequestBufs() issue in PAL mode
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2015 6:14 am
|
When Meka is in NTSC mode everything is fine. When I switch to PAL mode, it seems to be skipping frames and in the message window I get a continous flow of PushSamplesRequestBufs() issues. I have tried to switch between the various display and audio settings in the setup, but to no avail. I also tried to search the forum for PushSamplesRequestBufs() but there's nothing. What could I do? | |
|
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:54 pm |
It's an oops bug.. I haver never finished implementing the new audio system. If someone wants to look at it, that's pretty much the only thing blocking the 0.80 release. | |
|
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2015 10:04 am |
There seem to be issues with the sound system in NTSC mode, too. I'm currently experimenting with having PSGlib update the sound data only every other frame instead of every frame, and it suddenly became very noticeable that MEKA seems to skip frames randomly all over the place. I don't know if this only applies to the sound or to everything else, too, but it becomes very apparent with a lower update frequency on the sound frames. I don't get any of the PushSamplesRequestBufs() messages in NTSC mode, though.
It's quite strange, actually, as the frame skips don't seem to be linked to anything that's happening on screen. Sometimes it runs for minutes without any problems, then it suddenly skips lots of frames in very short amounts of time, even if the program does nothing else beside playing the music. The same program plays perfectly fine in Emulicious. |

I must have overlooked this post. I may not have a definitive answer and it could be I am mistaken, but if this is a bug, it is a pretty useful one.
I generally get those errors when the speed setting in MEKA does not match the original game. It consistently displays when the speed is set above the default for the game. It has not affected vgm logs in anyway. Recently, when I worked on Battlemaniacs for the SMS, it clued me in since I got the errors when running it at 60hz. After inquiring more, I confirmed that it was actually meant to be run at 50hz, but it was not reprogrammed when released in Brazil (60hz). I have not tested it in all cases, but my impression has been that it is consistent for a while. Most games I work with run at 60hz anyway, so I only see the issue when increasing the speed of the emulator. It does tend to force off other important messages in the message box, but I have never had a serious issue with this. It could my synopsis is not correct, but this is how it has seemed to me, and I use this emulator a lot, when logging vgms. |

Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2015 2:55 pm |
FYI this bug affect sound output but won't affect VGM logging. | |
|
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2016 5:17 pm |
disregard my post in the other thread - this time the audio works like a charm! but it only seems to work in 60HZ which is a bit sad =)) i will load a pal rom like trivial pursuit into it and see what it does.
edit: does not work correctly! it does not affect .vgm logging, but still is pretty bad for programming needs =( there are some people who actually like 50HZ because they grew up with it! please fix if possible =) i can live with it tho, for the start a working 60HZ audio playback is enough for debugging and analyzation purposes! thanks, Bock =) |

Looks like an issue with loading files when your folder has non-Ascii characters in them (see "Nossa Família" part of your directory). | |
|
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:39 pm |
Yes,that was it! I moved meka directory to the C: folder and now it's loading normally.Thank you Bock!
Older Meka versions didn't have this issue and loaded properly when i double-clicked mekaw.exe.What's so different with this new one that i can't use folders with non-Ascii names? Anyway,i loved the new sound engine.My Kujaku Ou now sounds as if it was a Genesis game! |

Does anyone know if you can get MEKA 0.80 to fullscreen on a secondary screen on a dualscreen rig?
If its not possible to do, then i would really like to ask for it as a future feature if more updates are done. |

Hello, I have built Mekanix on (Net-)BSD with the current version of Allegro 5.2.1.1. There are some minor issues. Switching to TV Type PAL/SECAM causes speed problems with the audio(playing music slow & fast).
The Messages Box shows a continuous stream of PushSamplesRequestBufs(): overflow <NUMBER> ><SMALLERNUMBER>. Sound->Volume is fixed on 100% and all entries are grey. "VGM start" causes an app crash maybe because it was started from a readonly directory. |
|
|
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2016 9:11 am |
The messages are for sound debugging, and somewhat require you to select matching TV type (NTSC/PAL) and speed (60Hz/50Hz). Any mismatch and it complains. | |
|
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2016 11:58 am |
The new engine hasn't been finished and doesn't properly support 50 Hz unfortunately. | |

Returning To MEKAW, Bug Reports Ahoy!
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 1:16 am

Using the Meka 0.80, Built April 2015 version, the last valid link I could find in this thread.
Running Geforce GTX 970 with the latest Nvidia drivers (22.21.13.8494) Bug 1.) When I maximize the game, Alt-Enter to go to full screen, and from then press Esc to minimize the game window, Meka chokes on PushSamplesRequestBufs(). Region is set to US/Europe. TV to 60hz. It will remain PushSampling until I either Esc back up to fullscreen, or Alt-Enter and put the whole emulator into a window. I made sure to be in 60hz mode, Bug 2.) There's some problem with rendering Power Strike (UE) [!] in Full Screen, maximised mode. There's a horizontal bar of distortion across the entire screen, but it's in different places each time. When the game is maximized, but Meka isn't, the bar is not there. I've tried a few different ROM dumps, and it's the same across all of them. I've also tried a few other scrolling games to look for the same issue (WB3:DT, Speedball 2, Super Kick Off, Xenon 2 so far) and it isn't visible in those. So far, it's just Power Strike. Hope these bug reports are useful! And one day soon, I plan to get your re-released WB3:DT on Steam ;) Twas videos for that which got me in the emulation mood again... |

Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2017 4:00 am |
That is the version I'm using, yes. It's listed as April in the About gump in the emulator. And I can also run the games in Kega Fusion, but I've a soft spot for MEKA all the same! |
|

Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:44 am |
Please don't sue me for doing this
I've encountered a bug that will crash the emulator if it's left on idle for too long. Estimated time is 15-30 minutes, this didn't happen with the older version of MEKA (Hell I would leave MEKA on for several days and it would be just fine) |

Probably leaking memory somewhere :( Could you post a screenshot, so we can narrow down the issue to the applet windows you have open? |
|
|
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:10 am |
"applet windows you have open?" Are you talking about like what other programs I'm running while running MEKA? |
|
|
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:40 pm |
No, I mean all the windows open within Meka itself. |
