Here i am again with this time full Access to the internal nand through Samba
Accessing the nand through samba is really easy, just download the modified samba deamon from the archive which ui9 made and then open up samba.conf (NOT WITH NOTEPAD but with a linux capable line endings editor like notepad++ or notepad2 or whatever).
add the following at the end :
save the conf file and replace the original one, start your wifi connection, then start the samba daemon / server.
now in windows type \\ipofthecaanoo\all (for example in my case \\192.168.1.3)
in linux type smb://ipoftecaanoo\all
there you go all files which are located on the nand io the complete filesystem of the linux system used.
What can you do now ????
knowledgeable Graphics people should look into /usr/gp2x all the images there can be changed and are just png images WHICH MEANS SKINS ! (i can make you a simple script that will backup the orignal files and replace them with the ones you supplied and another script to set the original images back).
You can seek out intresting nitbits yourselve
A WORD OF WARNING:
Before changing / editing or doing anything at all on the nand (so everything outside /mnt/sd) always make backups ! if you mess up a file your caanoo could not work anymore although a firmware (re)upgrade should do the trick ! but i'm not certain if you can force it
