If you tell me what's the error message with this version, I'll probably be able to help you.
Er... I don't know who decided the default keys, but you should hide the menu (pressing the ESC key) when you're playing. TAB key as the Select button is even worse, in my opinion.
I don't know of any tutorial about that, but you could try reading Emulator Resources / Using.
For a start you need to run configure first, which isn't executable (I don't think zip supports Unix-style permissions) - so "chmod +x" it. configure tries to run config.sub which uses DOS line endings. Bash doesn't like that so you need to convert it (I used "set ff=unix" in vim). You also need to do the same thing to config.guess. configure should then run.
Then you'll possibly notice that the Makefiles are hardcoded to use aclocal-1.6 and automake-1.6, so you'll have to edit them. Then you'll try running make again and it will crap out, complaining that it can't find files called "NEWS" and "README", so you'll create them. Then you'll run make again - and it'll crap out again. This time you'll run "find . -type f dos2unix {} \;" before running make once more. This time things will churn along for a short while before the build will fail and, if you're anything like me, you'll give up. :-)
The makefile is still setup for the environment that the last author had configured. Chances are your msys path to fceu isn't the same. Download and install msysdtk first so you'll have the autotools at your disposal. Then, from the root of the fceu build you're trying to make, do the following:
aclocal
autoconf
automake
./configure --with-nativewin32
windres -o src/res.o src/drivers/win/res.res
make
Thanks man it got me much farther than before, but Its still having a problem. Now it will almost compile then it says this: make: *** [config.status] Error 1

FCEU .26 released:
http://fceu.googlecode.com/files/fceu-0.98.26.ziphttp://fceu.googlecode.com/files/fceu-0.98.26-src.zip
This was a group effort between mz, maximus, and I (mostly those 2 guys). This is a major update with some much needed fixes:
Most importantly:
1) Many games now work again. This includes Power Blade 1 and 2, Banana Prince, Gun-Nac, Mitsume ga Tooru, Star Tropics 1 and 2, some SMB1 hacks and probably other games we haven't tell yet.
2) BasicBot is back (thanks to zeromus for fixing the shared memory bugs in the official FCEU).
3) Cheat search has been updated so that it can stay open while running the game AND the values will update. Also, double clicking a ram address in the left column automatically sends it to memory watch! This enhancement should greatly reduce the time it takes to get a ram watch list.
Other fixes:
-New font (Warp's HUD font).
-New hotkey: "Play movie from beginning". It sets the movie in read-only mode and then starts playing from the first frame. The default key for it is "R". (This works much like the one in VBA)
-The controller shows what buttons are currently pressed after loading a savestate while recording or playing a movie.
-Added an option in Input Configuration to disable U/D + L/R.
-Memory Watch: now it updates automatically after poking memory or adding a new address manually.
-New Directory Override options for Memory Watch address lists and BasicBot files.
-Record movie from savestate now works.
-Fixed default directories handling: it won't remove the wrong folder now.
This will be the last update for this branch of FCEU (unless major bugs were introduced that we did not catch).
We are now working with others on a update to FCEUX. FCEUX is designed to merge the various branches of fceu. Particularly FCEU.26, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm.
Anyway, there are many features added that will make a TASers life much easier. Enjoy.
Don't worry about compiling problems anymore guys, got it to work.
Nice new version, looking good! Thanks for the download. Would any of you happen to have a good tut explaining what your looking for in memory watch?
Maybe this can help you: Memory Search / What To Search For.
This is how we fixed it: src/sound.h.
Action 52 doesn't work at all in this new .26 version, because we decided to use the official MM mappers now, which should be more stable and more compatible with old FCEU versions.
GoodNES should actually repair headers, at least I know v3.14 it's supposed do that...
Weird fix.
I may have discovered a bug. When I was watching the Power Blade movie, I tried to tap "R" and the movie restarted but desynced. I tried this many times and the movie desynced every time. It even stopped once.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days
<adelikat> no doubt
<adelikat> klmz, they still do
Yeah, that movie was made with 0.98.10. I haven't bothered to make some functions compatible with that old movie format. You will also notice how it says "Playing frame 4343/0". :P
Although we won't be working on this version anymore, thanks for reporting anyway. I'm going to make sure these bugs get fixed for the next official FCEU release in some months.
New build with a fix we forgot to enable before releasing it. Please download .26 again if you're having random crashes or if you don't like the "Wrong Movie" messages.
Make sure you're using the one from May 12 2008.
Well, it's impossible to make the colors for all games look like the originals (unless you're using the NTSC filter); but you're right: they do look different now. It may be because we updated the mappers/boards files, I think.
I have 2 problems with that.
1. The numbers for frame display are shaking like hell.
2. Small font + white in games that does use white alot == bad.
Edit: I've never received email for people posting in that topic :S. Today, I just saw many posts in this thread. Anyway, edited the 1st post, if there are some bugs that are fixed and still in the list, just tell me.
I am kinda busy these days to test things.

I'm running Gentoo Linux with gcc 4.1.2, glibc 2.6.1 and bash 3.2.17(1) on x86.
Doing aclocal, autoconfig etc beforehand doesn't change anything.
Hints, anyone? :)

It's because of DOS-style line termination in various shell scripts. (bash reads the embedded carriage returns and vomits forth weird error messages.) You can try deleting a bunch of shit first, then running aclocal; autoconf; automake -a -c --foreign.
I'm working on hacking basic Lua support into the emulator now (goal is to get something that is useful and works like a subset of what's in snes9x, to make it easier to synchronize with DeHackEd's newer unreleased s9x+lua source code...) Currently I'm writing test scripts to see whether I've created exactly that or just some program that compiles. :) If everything goes well I'll release my patches, and they'll include fixes for Linux compiles and Linux->Win32 cross-compiles...
first rm config.sub config.guess depcomp, then run automake --add-missing to recreate those files.
You will not be able to build successfully though as the changes in 9826 were windows-based and as such, we didn't update the source for linux compilation.
I'm looking into this now though ;)
EDIT: too slow i guess. nitsujrehtona beat me to it ;)
Yow, looks awesome. I'll second the extra thanks for cheat search update -- literally two days ago I was thinking to myself why oh why can't it be left open while running the game? And that you can double click to add to memwatch is just icing.
!!!
Color me excited. I'll be happy to help test :)
I almost suspected that, thanks for the clear info. autom4te.cache seemed to be outdated, so I renamed that folder due to a tip I found via Google and then successfully ran your commads. After dos2unix'ing config.sub, config.guess and missing, configure ran through just fine. Nevertheless I also had to convert depcomp and mkinstalldirs in order to satisfy make, only now I'm given this error:
boards/sheroes.c:24: error: static declaration of 'CHRRAM' follows non-static declaration
boards/mmc3.h:3: error: previous declaration of 'CHRRAM' was here
make[1]: *** [boards/sheroes.o] Error 1
Although this should be because of your recent windows-based patches, I guess.

I found a Super C movie desynced with FCEU 0.98.26, which used to sync with FCEU 0.98.25. Extra enemy spawned and they caused desync.
The published Super C movie on this site syncs. But it is possible that it stays in sync just by coincidence.
I suspect it is the "Record from Power-on/Reset with a Savestate" bug or something similar that causes such a problem. Now I have some questions:
What are "Record from Power-on" and "Record from Reset" supposed to do? And what do they actually do now? Does JXQ's FCMFix fix them?
These questions may be unrelated to the desync problem here, but I am so curious.

Record from Power-On means that you record a movie from game load with the SRAM data cleared. Record from Reset records the movie from game load but with SRAM data not cleared
That's why I think the unuseful and confusing Record from reset is no more needed and must be removed. And movies done with Record from reset are generally not accepted at this site.
