No problem. You definitely started first and went well beyond what I did.
Thanks.
I'm curious -- do you know if I can capture and use the 50g ROM? If you
know, could you send me a PM?

I see. Had done this one already a month ago but was up to now still waiting for a possible maintainer-reply.
Note that I had crated a patch to the newer of the packages and it is
attached as a comment. How does your patch compare to mine?
It's fairly different. I saw the posted patch for x48-emulator just after I sent the message to the AUR mailing list but I believe that one only upped the version to 0.6.3 and added x86-64.
The old x48-emulator PKGBUILD (and the patched one, then) had a problem with missing dependencies and as described in the message, with a hard-coded "non-archlinux compliant" /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory.
I also install the ROMDump program from the sources for those of us that want to grab their own ROMs.
I sent an email to the maintainer (clamy) earlier this week and have heard
nothing back as yet.
Contacted him a month ago as well and also silence. Same for the original x48 maintainer.
I was going to adopt it, but if you would like it, that is okay by me.
For now, I've adopted it. I'll be fairly busy again with other things the coming period but was planning on at least looking into giving X48 a somewhat less obsolete configuration mechanism than the X defaults stuff (ie, just an /etc/x48.conf or some such). If you do more extensive "upstream work" than we can always switch maintainership of the package again. I'm normally at least fairly responsive to email...
New x48 is up on the AUR!
