Fyi I'm working on getting this up and running again @ https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:avindra/vbam

Its almost there. Had to disable the post build checks to get those rpm artifacts but I'm working with upstream development to fix the code issues

https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/issues/134

My goal is to submit a request to take over this package and refresh it with the upstream development.

This is ready for review now :)

Is the lack for ffmpeg support really necessary ?

I removed it because other broken things were higher priority. Feel free to make a request if you can add it back in !

Well, is it even broken or not ? Personally, I prefer RetroArch for emulating anything but GC/Wii and PS2. And would prefer simplescreenrecorder for recording instead of built-in half-solutions. Just curious, not a fan of disabled features for no reason.

It is broken. I just tried re-enabling ffmpeg. When you try to start to record, vbam just crashes.

I would also recommend using a dedicated screen recording tool instead of the native integration.

EDIT: added rm-gdk-call.patch to revert this commit.

This needs to be upgraded to 2.1.11
