Hey guys, linux user here, i'm new to melonDS and i am trying to make online work. Anyway, when i open any game that uses Wi-Fi i have this message on console which tells me PCap cannot open the adapter because it requires root permission(Windows version doesn't require root privileges). Anyway, i tried to open melonDS with root privileges but any ROM doesn't run and i'm left with a blank screen and i don't see any error on console. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
EDIT: i managed to let games run when melonds is started with root privileges, however when i try to set everything up i get this on console and i loose the connection: Any tip?? |

wait for the next release, it will have an improved indirect mode using libslirp, which won't need pcap or any special privileges for wifi emulation, see this blog post for more info: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=119. ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!

in the meantime: you need to run melonDS with root privileges for libpcap to work. it also won't work if your computer is connected via wifi. ____________________ Kuribo64 |
