Im An Idiot

[*cough*]

no emu! simply copy them together with the Gamefiles from the PC-Version onto your SD, install the SDL-Libs (look in the GP2X Filearchive) and run the .gpe

​

crap, i dont have the pc version game files. Also I have been to the gp2x archives many times, but what is the sdl libs?
I know i am an idiot, sorry to bother all you guys. At least im giving ya something to do.

 

[*cough*]

So what exactly doesn't work?

​

um, well alot of stuff.

This (http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,31,869) are the SDL-Libs. Simply put them into the root (<Sd Letter> of your SD-Card and run it install_libs.gpu as Utility.

thanks a ton mot. I owe ya one.

*cough*, dont worry dude, you'll get it after a while. Do you have any megadrive roms handy? If so, just try to get DrMDx working before trying anything else.

then download the demos (Quake: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake/quake106.zip) and (Duke3D: ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/share/3dduke13.zip) and play it with them.
Hope I could help

make sure the names of the files are lowercase

This (http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,31,869) are the SDL-Libs. Simply put them into the root (<Sd Letter> of your SD-Card and run it install_libs.gpu as Utility.

​

all it did when i ran it was go to a black screen and bring me back to the main menu.

arrrggggghhhhhhh all my folders and files are in lower case and it still says it doesnt exist help lol

 

[yaustar]

Did you scan the directory?

is the rom folder in the right place

root:\roms\megadrive

then it worked. Now try Quake or Duke3D as I told you.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you read through THE GP2X USER GUIDE, it will at least give you a basic understanding of how things work.

Got it all sorted i just presumed u could put the roms in the games part like on the gp32. didnt realise it had to be at the root. cheers everyone.

 

[bagmouse7]

Wow, I can see were this is headed...

And this will work? I knew how to creat a new folder just didnt know if that was the same as directory. And obviously make these new folders on the sd card right?

I found that the roms had to be in .zip files, have you tried that?
Also, only 1 rom can be contained in the .zip file

As has already been said, after you choose "Select Rom" dont forget to choose to "Re-Scan ROM Directory"

Goodluck
