I also forgot to talk about the heisenbug I've been chasing the last few days, which appears to be caused by newer binary-only nvidia drivers. Basically, they often cause a crash within a minute of loading a game. Details can be read at: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29448314 I also found this bug in launchpad which I believe describes the same bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fceux/+bug/881743 Regards, Alexander On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 10:51 PM, Alexander Toresson <alexander.tores...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear mentors, > > I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.1.5+dfsg-1 of the > package "fceux", which was before called "fceu".
