Hash for Downloads

Post by marcello42 »

Hey,

I downloaded the PCemV17Linux.tar.gz (Linux)
I was trusting enough to install the program with root privileges and I am wondering if the packager (perhaps Sarah) can provide a SHA256-Hash for the download?

Btw: I might add to the readme that the ROMs (for instance the generic one) must be placed in ~/.roms ..took me some minutes to find the appropriate folder as I thought it would be fine to cp it into the build folder (for any reason which might also lead to the conclusion that I have some lack of knowledge with Linux, but perhaps I am not the only one)

Also: I couldn't find where I can change the key-combination to exit the PcEm and get control over the mouse/keyboard again neither did I find it in the readme what default config it is which forced me to reset my host

Much obliged,
Marcel

Why?
The makefile tried to install (copy) the bin to /usr/bin which only works with higher priviliges.

Huh. Learn something new every day.

SHA256 for PCemV17Linux.tar.gz should be 5b24cb5ce886ed53232385f46594146ba3f7d7eecda90f82892b2dce1cb2f1a4
