    Another Samba.conf Problem

    Hi again, No idea why it's not sticking, but as a last resort you could have a copy of the smb.conf you want on your SD or NAND and use the autorun feature to copy it over to /etc/samba/ each time you turn the GP2X on. Probably the SD would be best so that if it all goes wrong you can just...

    Need Major Help With Networking

    Here you go, this is the original: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = GP2X-F100 log file = /tmp/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No security = share guest account = root coding system = utf8...

    Need Major Help With Networking

    Check the file /etc/samba/smb.conf - this is where the Samba server settings are. Have a look at the Samba documentation before you change the settings! I don't have my GP2X with me at the moment so this is a guess but there should be a single shared folder defined with something like: : ...

    Gp2x Crap Games Competition

    I think that means you'll probably win - particullarly if you can't draw, or write music as well. :P

    Gp2x Community Game Contest Only 3 Days Left!

    About to download and a thought struck me: seeing as we may want to try out all of the games at least once would it be possible to download a single ZIP or TAR with all the entries. A Community Favourite Judging Pack if you will... Thanks for all the hard work anyway - off to warm up the SD.

    Shell Scripting?

    Hi, the GP2X uses BusyBox for it's shell so you could start by looking at their web page. Next try something like this to get a list of extra available commands: #!/bin/sh # ls -l /bin > /mnt/sd/list-o-commands.txt ls -l /sbin >> /mnt/sd/list-o-commands.txt ls -l /usr/bin >>...

    Where Can I Get A Psu (uk)?

    I have the same problem with a PSU I bought in Woolworths. Using the smallest adaptor a slight nudge cuts the power off - most annoying. Infact, I've not used it recently as batteries are more reliable! I see from the wiki that the required plug is "0.7X2.35MM" so I'll borrow a caliper from...

    Disasterous Firmware Problem

    If people ask stupid questions in a forum where stupid questions are OK and then get told off for asking them it's a bit ruthless, IMHO. Newbies ask questions here and expect a gentle push in the right direction (links to other posts or helpful websites like the wiki) or kind words of advice...

    Coding On It

    Not sure if you'd say it counts or not but you can also do some shell scripting. Use STerm and launch the Vi text editor and away you go! For more info on what the shell can do (if you havn't used a Linux shell before) have a look here, here and here. Have fun.

    Gmenu2x Question

    Have you tried swapping the cards to see if the numbers follow the cards or the machine? If you can use the command line (STerm or telnet) do the following: df -Th /mnt/sd df -TH /mnt/sd with both cards and compare the output. This is a built in tool which will report the free space on a...

    Taking Apart The Gp2x

    I do remeber a thread a (long) while ago when someone mentioned using a hairdryer to soften the glue that holds the screen srotector in place. You could then remove it, clean your screen and replace the protector without mucking around with the innards of your GP2X.

    How Different Is The Red Hat Terminal To Gp2x Terminal?

    To get at the terminal from your PC you will need to get the usb networking to work (or use a serial lead fromn the EXT port). Once this is up and running you can use 'telnet' to connect to the GP2X. On windows press Win+R and type in 'telnet' followed by the IP address of your GP2X. On Linux...

    Clonk Planet 0.2 - Stable Release

    Daid: First of all thanks for bringing this superb game to us! Now for the bad news - working through the tutorial file you posted a while back scenario 1 to 3 are OK but 4 & 5 fail for me. It shows the usual 'file loading' text and then stops with a 'File not found' message before dropping back...

    Complete Backup - How To Make...?

    Flashig the NAND from the SD should be enough on firmware v2+ because you would have to hold down START and SELECT to start it off (previous versions would sometimes flash automagicaly and trash the bootloader by mistake). In the unlikely event of the bootlader going down then you (or a friend)...

    Complete Backup - How To Make...?

    Isn't this what the firmware images are? All that would be missing is the U-Boot bit and if that's gone there's not much you can do to restore without a JTAG cable I think - someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
