I just recently downloaded Meka again and loads of roms after getting my computer fixed sometime ago. I've found that when I want to display a game at full screen, the picture goes a weird colour like pink and green. Can I change my settings or is my graphics card not compatable?

MEKA 0.71 and previous versions aren't too cool with many video drivers, the way it works (MEKA it pretty much stuck in the 90s technology wise). Can you try downloading MEKA 0.72 WIP from www.smspower.org/meka/wip and see if it works better ?

Thanks Bock, I also have a problem with my joypad. It works ok but if you leave it without pressing a button or pad you move left. This means playing a racing game you are fighting with the joypad, you're trying to steer right but you also keep moving left.
I've had this problem before.........

I suppose you don't have this problem with other emulators/games? What if you go to INPUTS-CONFIGURATION panel, click on "keyboard 1" twice to switch to "joypad 1", then click any line and see what happens. If MEKA sees your joypad as "stuck" on left pressed, all lines you click on (up,down,right,left,button A, button B) should fill with a same thing.
Let me know about the video thing. Hope it's fixed in 0.72, else it might take a bit to fix. The joypad problem however could be more simple and I'd like to have this fixed quickly provided that I can track down the reason for the bug.

It only seems to happen when you play the game in windowed mode, in full screen it seems fine.........

MEKA doesn't work on my DELL laptop in fullscreen, but in normal mode it works fine.
Hey, Bock, does MEKA use OpenAL? Just strikes me as the kinda thing that would, with it working on Linux.

You have to completely disable sound to use Meka under Linux (in most cases, at least. I did once get sound working fine, but I have never been able to replicate it). I've taken to using a new SMS emulator: Osmose. I was thinking that I'd be great if Meka was ported to some modern APIs, like SDL and OpenAL, then I found Osmose. :) Okay, okay. Osmose (currently) lacks all the cool debugging stuff that make Meka useful, but it's great for testing stuff and listening to music. I've not abandoned Meka. :)

Yeah. OpenAL would make it great, but it would probably require a lot of rewriting.
It should also have Mac compatibility, anyone ever try it? If MEKA was written with GLUT, then it should work to a certain extent.

If MEKA was written with GLUT, then it should work to a certain extent. I'd suggest SDL over GLUT - but that's personal preference. SDL provides loads of nice extras (it's like DirectX, basically) - it does stuff GLUT does, but handles input, networking (not sure how good that is...), sound (via OpenAL), etc. And since SDL is so portable... It'd be silly to not use it. :) Not that GLUT isn't portable - but the keyboard input, etc., probably won't be. To be honest, it might be worth just adding features to Osmose, since that already uses SDL and OpenAL. It's written in C++ (nice clean code, too) and is open source (released under the wonderful GPL). I've been looking through it to add some stuff, but haven't had enough time to do much. If anyone's interested in SDL: www.libsdl.org/

Yeah, it's my first choice too... Too bad it's kind of dead, by now.
