GNGEO 0.8.5 Boot problem

[NiGame]

The program will no longer load fully. It will get as far as requesting if I want to use default or set path for ROMS.


It then does nothing.

• I have tried re downloading the PND
  
• I have tried using different SD cards
  
• I tried deleting the appdata
  
• I also tried reboot
  
• I also unzipped my bios files in case their usage had changed
  

So I dug out the run log, here is a copy. Looks like it can't load the screen. 'Screen initialization failed.'

Can anyone help?


UPDATE: does not work in minimenu either

Can't offer much advice here but FWIW I tried the latest version of GNeoGeo from the repo on SZB5a and it worked fine for me.

Solved, I reflashed using the firmware image of SuperZaxxon


Note: http://openpandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=199&Itemid=40&lang=en


This version fails as checksum does not match


So I grabbed it from:

I have the same problem with GnGeo 0.8.5 on Zaxxon HF5.


Here's the log file...

Went back to GnGeo 0.8.4, since only TV Out has been fixed (which I don't use anyway). Will stay on HF5 with my first batch Pandora and retest with the 1GHz version (once it arrives).
