In my case, I couldn't ignore the polling errors because they were causing the program to crash before it even loaded a window and running as root--however inadvisable--was the only fix I could find. As for the gamepad issue, my directions were nonfunctional from the start and I only installed jscalibrator to troubleshoot the issue, as I was aware of the horrible issues it can cause. Regardless, none of that matters to me anymore because I found bsnes, which is more stable, more accurate and more feature-filled than zsnes. :DHunter K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18379090454291486194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845625574553920830.post-6504147862295147322010-08-09T05:12:03.548-07:002010-08-09T05:12:03.548-07:00BTW, the joystick problem you are experiencing is ...BTW, the joystick problem you are experiencing is actually the result of using jscalibrator. Why people even install it in the first place is beyond me, since most gamepads work just fine out of the box with no need for calibration.<br /><br />Anyways, here's some links to threads concerning the use of jscalibrator messing up controller axis, and one contains the correct removal of jscalibrator in order to fix this problem. <br /><br />Note that sometimes simply removing the USB gamepad and then inserting into another USB port will cause the kernel to register the pad as a new controller, and as long as you don't run jscalibrator on the controller again, it will work fine.<br /><br />http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=12253&start=0<br />http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729049<br />http://snes9x.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=25185#25185<br /><br />Also, as a side note: <br /><i>Unable to poll /dev/input/event8. Make sure you have read permissions to it</i><br />You should be able to simply ignore this error as it has no effect on gameplay. Running zsnes as root, or any program for that matter that doesn't explicitly need root privileges, is as always not recommended.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593100127314748709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845625574553920830.post-79833113377124935322008-12-28T23:13:00.000-08:002008-12-28T23:13:00.000-08:00thanks man you saved my life!awanteeeeeeee!thanks man you saved my life!<BR/><BR/>awanteeeeeeee!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234631506661447362noreply@blogger.com
