I cannot install the sdl libraries, the screen goes black and nothin happens, the files are in the proper place. what do I do?

It should go blank then come back. I think that means they are installed. Its just a script copying over some files into the NAND as far as i know

How long does the black screen appears?

 

[otacon]

its stayed there for as long as 3 minutes

You mean the NK libraries? Just on the offchance - you haven't extracted the .tar.gz file have you? You just need to stick that and the .GPU into the root of the SD card then run the .GPU. If that's what you've done, I'm out of ideas!

 

[otacon]

i just stuck the tar.gz file and the .gpu in the root and and ran the gpu file and then it just hangs

 

[Digitalrat]

Did you put the tar in the tar on the card or the tar itself? ^^ (tar in tar would be right :>)

 

[otacon]

the tar itself, im an idiot

the tar itself, im an idiot

​

does that mean its working now?

 

[otacon]

i am trying to but my powerbook is being really flaky about detecting my gp

 

[otacon]

i launched it and the black screen came on for 1 second and then went back to the main menu, but I don't know if it worked

That's what's supposed to happen, so it PROBABLY worked, but I can't guarantee you that. Try one of NK's emus to test it.

 

[otacon]

the emu hangs at a black screen

should be like 3-5 seconds afaik...

did you put it in a folder? (you need to put it directly on the card)

 

[otacon]

its in the root directory, the .tar file and the .gpu file

 

[miq01]

its in the root directory, the .tar file and the .gpu file

You should put the .tar.gz file (uncompressed) and the .gpu.
