Arch Linux User Repository

CNR = Could Not Reproduce.

After a bit of tinkering, I got it working. I think I stupidly ran it as root before trying to add myself to the group, which caused the EmuHawkMono_laststdout.txt: Permission denied error, as the log files were owned by root:root and therefore not accessible by EmuHawkMono.sh when run as user. My bad on that one. A check to not run as root might stop other people from doing that, but I have no idea if that's warranted since it IS user error.

After that, however, I ran into the issue described here, despite being on Arch: https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/issues/1595 Moving "arch"| to the beginning of the same line as "debian"|"linuxmint"|"ubuntu"|"pop" seems to have fixed the issue.

P.S. What does "CNR" mean? I'm not familiar with the acronym. Also, thanks for your work not only maintaining this for Linux, but also specifically for the AUR package as well!

CNR. Files created are owned by me, which isn't great, but it works for a single-user install. The relevant permissions are the ones /opt/bizhawk. When I build the package it seems to be correct?

I can't seem to run BizHawk unprivileged, even after adding myself to the games group, getting /opt/bizhawk/EmuHawkMono.sh: line 31: EmuHawkMono_laststdout.txt: Permission denied when I try. Running groups on my user shows me in the correct group, and neither logging out nor restarting after adding myself to the group changed anything. The permissions/ownership on EmuHawkMono.sh are as follows: -rwxrwxr-- 1 root games

@mclain It's in /opt/bizhawk probably

Where do I find the program folder/run the program after installing with yay?

Yeah, I wouldn't know how to tell. My controllers are working fine everywhere else, same with KB/Mouse :S

Edit 1: On 02de3588a, it does run, but it's not useful, because Controllers is greyed out under Config.

(Also, the menus are hard to read because I'm getting dark grey text on darker grey background, but that's probably just my theme config on my end doing this.)

Edit 2: Wait, it's been so long I forgot that BizHawk doesn't let you access controller settings until a core is loaded. I can get into the config, but it doesn't recognize controller input.

To be honest I'll probably just stick with running the Windows version in a VM. I only need NES/SNES and GB/GBC, and VM performance is plenty for those. Appreciate the effort in getting this to run natively on Linux though.
