Q: The emulator didn't start, it shows the message: "c64-sp: library 'lib.c64' not present" A: Rename the emulator to "c64" or "c64.exe" !

A: Look in "/etc/XF86Config" if in the section "Keyboard" the option "ServerNumLock" is set. If set comment it! The binaries are compiled for none "ServerNumLock". I don't know, how I can test this option from the client side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-working games: turrican I: Use command line option "-x" and original roms.
