Missing video modes in Zsnes since last upgrade

Hi all,
somehow the latest upgrade (1.42-2)  broke my zsnes. I can only select modes 0 through 3 now, which is a pain since all of them but mode 16 (1280x1024 ODS FULL) make my eyes bleed on my trusty old 19" CRT monitor.
The relevant section of my zsnesl.cfg is, as expected:

; Video Mode, 0 - 3
;   0 = 256x224   R WIN        1 = 256x224  R FULL
;   2 = 512x448   DR WIN       3 = 640x480  DS FULL

VideoModeLin = 2

I copied an older (6 months)  zsnes binary over from a gentoo install, and it does allow me to use all 18 video modes, so I'm pretty sure this last package upgrade is responsible. Has anyone noticed this as well?

Hmm... just checked zsnes in [extra] and noticed this as well. I'm normally using the wip version and the OpenGL modes are working fine (22 modes to select from). The official version will probably be fixed soon, but you can try this PKGBUILD if you are in a hurry. Better backup zsnesl.cfg and zguicfgl.dat before you try it, though.

_pkgname=zsnes
pkgver=0219

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/src
        sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr x_libraries=/usr/lib
        make || return 1
        make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Cool. Somehow the 1.42 src from www.zsnes.com failed to build with gcc 4, but wip doesn't have this problem. Thanks for the PKGBUILD, guess it's time I learnt to do this kind of things the Arch way...
