u have to rename initrd.nochat or initrd.chat [ if u have a chatboard]
to initrd

 

[Emu&Co]

I already did...

 

[Tristan]

when i edit the start file, to make it launch other files it says while booting that the start file ist missing

i had that problem too.
after editing the start file with wordpad, init cant find it. it is broken somehow.

hint: dload it again and edit it with notepad.

Hmm, I already said that on page 12, maybe we should edit the first post with it. Ingeras? Anyway, it's because wordpad changes the Unix endline character with a DOS one. Effect? Linux reads the entire file as one line, it doesn't 'see' the end of the line. Solution? Either keep using notepad, which doesn't change the line termination, or find a text file editor which has the option to set the line termination character to a Unix one.

Yes at you need the bootloader from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gp32linux

This bootloader in /GPMM/

All the other files in /GPMM/linux

You must rename one of the two initrd files. If you have not the chatboard your file is initrd.nochat. Rename to initrd (no extension).

i´m trying to copy al the files to GPMM/LINUX but than it sais:
"invale extension. only 3 characters are allowed for extension filename: binb"
Please help

you can't upload files without extension with the gp32 manager.
use gpdrive or a smc reader/writer instead.

 

[gba-cube]

What do I have to do with GPdrive?

 

[benjaminblasius@web.de]

- get gpdrive here: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=8146
- load it on your smc
- start it
- connect your gp32 with the usb-cable to your pc
- hope your windows recognizes your gp32 as mass storage device and you can up-/download files

here it is : http://gp32linux.gp32news.com/flash/
you need my precedent release (with nanox)

its a hack of a hack ...

so ...

its a por of the libflash for linux
- my pc version , works with most animations
- my gp32 port : [ nanox ] is a xfree hack, very light + xfree translation lib
had to pach libflash to work with it
the colors aren't 100 % correct [because of nanox i think ]
there are fewer animations working [ > 300 KB dont work]
rate ~ 15 fps
no scaling for now

i spent a lot of time trying to make it work
it s a first version , that show it can be done
hope more developpers will join us

make your tests , and let us know , send your screenshots
thanks
