Aargh! Ever get that urge to just change one more thing before uploading? It should work OK now, Sorry about that.

Well, I've pretty much sorted all the bugs I can find, so I guess it's time to let someone else have a look. I've uploaded the latest version of GReader2x to Here, feel free to download and test it. Please post any problems you have to this thread. Just extract the zip file and copy everything...

X server huh? Is there any decent docs on its features, and more importantly how to program for it?

Oh I'm going to write them, but how I go about it depends on who I'm writing them for. If they're just for me, they'll be no frills, no virtual keyboard and not configurable, if they're for others to use as well, I'll pretty them up, make them as all round usefull as possible and put a lot more...

As you've probably all guessed by now, I mainly use my GP2X for reading e-books. I got it for that purpose after managing to kill my trusty Sony Clie. Now, while I had the Clie, I hardly ever used the calendar, but I did use the address book and the Calculator plus a few reference databases...

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider that one?

OK, here they are, with explanations (king of) This shows strings 0, 1 & 2 (the menu in the middle) Shows string 4 (title at the top) Shows strings 21, 7, 12 & 13 (instructions at the bottom) Strings 12 & 13 are shown on most config screens. Shows strings 5 & 6 (at bottom) More to come...

I'll try to take a screenshot of each place these are used so you can see exactly how they are used. Thanks.

This is instructions at the bottom of the screen where you set the font or background colours. Colours are broken down into red, green & blue elements, each of which you set separately, the left and right keys (whatever you've set them to) are used to highlight one of these elements and then...

Most of these are prompts for keys "J-Right/J-Left = Select Colour Element" or "X-Key = change element" for example. (I should explain that colours are set using three elements (Red, Green & Blue) each of which can be from 0 to 255. Config settings is not quite a tautology, it would be if...

OK, so it's an old joke and doesn't translate well to other languages, which is a shame as translating to other languages is what this post is about. I've recently added UTF-8 support to GReader2X so that people can read texts in (almost) any language and one of the beta testers (sorry Fatih, I...

That's good, I'll see if I can find out who to notify at Project Gutenburg, since it's so easy to fix. Hmmm, very strange. The line in the cfg should be: Background="bluebg.jpg" for the background included in version 0.3 (the official version). I doubt that is the problem but I'm not sure...

There are lots of changes still going on with this release, and yeah, I screwed up on the naming of the CFG file I sent you guys. It should be all lower case. Sorry about that. I wouldn't rely on the built in config routines at the moment either, they're still under construction. most of the...

Well, it displays those characters (with the correct font loaded) and the wrapping and justification look OK. I'd still like someone who speaks (reads) Danish or Norwegian to try it out with a few more texts though. Cheers, Coder.

Hi, I'm attempting to add support for foreign languages to GReader2X my configurable text reader, unfortunately I don't speak anything but English. I'm looking for a few people who speak other languages who are willing to spend some time to test the changes I've made. You'll need to be...

I do pretty much the same, except that I've written a script that runs my app with stdout and stderr redirected to files on the SD card. That way I can put debug messages in my code, copy it across to the SD card via a card reader, run it on the GP2X and then put the SD card back in the reader...

OK, I've been happily using the official SDK, partly because I dislike the idea of bloating programs by statically linking them, and partly because I like to be able to run on both windows and the GP2X (Yeah, I know I could set up a toolchain that would do that, but I'm lazy OK. :) ). Anyway, I...

Doh! Missed that, I should have looked at the post more carefully. Anyway, it's added to the ConvertExt option now and will translate to three full stops "..." Cheers, Coder.
