Im An Idiot

[*cough*]

I am an idiot so can someone please help me. Do I pull everything off the cd that came with the gp2x and put it on the sd card? Because idk which emu runs what games, and i cant seem to find the rom directory that drmd tells me i need when I try to play games.

 

[reaper79]

Hmmm, what's on these CD's? I never got one with mine.

Sorry but how do you make a directory?
I am a stupid newbie

 

[Zeon X]

Get yourself a card reader and create the directory in windows

 

[yaustar]

Right click -> New Folder

 

[*cough*]

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?

 

[Zeon X]

yep

 

[*cough*]

Ok, I created the folders, like he had said. ROM folder inside that the MEGADRIVE folder and inside that I put Duke3d, Hexen, and Quake. I put this whole ROM thing inside the drmd folder on my sd card. I run drmdx on my gp2x and go to load rom and it says no directory exists. What am I doing wrong guys?

 

[Ravnos]

You weren't supposed to put them in a drmd folder. Your folder structure for DrMD should look like this:

<letter>:\roms\megadrive

And for the actual drmdx.gpe file:

<letter>:\DrMDx.gpe

where <letter> is the drive letter for your SD card.

The readme is fine. Judging from this, the problem is that English is not your first language.

 

[*cough*]

Hey Ravnos, thanks for the advice man. It still doesnt work though. When I hit select Rom while running drmdx it still says Rom Directory does not exist. I did all that you said

 

[Dark_TB]

case sensetive anyone?

 

[*cough*]

case sensetive anyone?

​

what do you mean by that?

 

[yaustar]

'A' and 'a' are can be names of two different files in Linux.

If the folde ris supposed to be named "megadrive" and you call it "MEGADRIVE" it wont find it.

I suspect hes talking about the CD that Craig sends out with the gp2x's sold from gp2x.co.uk. I got one too, they've got early versions of emulators on them. As well the quake and hexen ports.

*cough* Firstly, do you know what roms are? These are the actual games that go into rom folders, if you already know that, sorry to be patronising, cool. Otherwise you need to know about them first.

I'd concentrate on just getting one Emulator running first, before trying anything else. DrMDx is probably the easiest one to get going as a starter.

DON'T just copy all the stuff off the CD you got onto your SD card, this wont do anything. Get DrMDx from the file archive on this site and read the readme all the way through.

And also, do you have an SD card reader or are you connecting your gp2x to your pc via usb?

I also think you should check out the GP2X User Guide which explains how to do all the basics, well worth downloading. Its a .rar file so you'll need a program called Winrar to unarchive it.

 

[*cough*]

Does anyone know, what does it take to rune duke3d or quake. The Frodo emu?

 

[mots]

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

Thanks for helping man. YEah I know what a rom is.
I am using an sd card reader. Plus I already read through the readme file

 

[mots]

So what exactly doesn't work?
