Ok. Here are the ones that I am working on:
AdvanceMame (MaxMame) - Completed.
DOSBox (MaxBox) - Needs ipkg.
Kegs - Completed, needs some key remapping for control panel.
Here is what has been requested:
SNES9x-SDL
MESS (MaxMESS) <--Should be simple to move over.
Anything else? Games? PIMs? Apps? Let\'s get a list going. I know that Cacko x11 needs some more apps.
I am pretty sure I can say \"pretty please\" to Pentad to help port these over also. ;-)

Bliss!
http://bliss.retrogames.com/ (http://bliss.retrogames.com/)
It is an intellivision emulator that runs with SDL.
The Bliss Java applet works but is terribly slow (tried it around one year ago).
But having it compiled for the Z.
BTW-OT: would also be nice having it for qt to use on the SL5500.
Thanks for the effort anyway!

Solitaire JM
zRoadmap - There is a Opie X11 package for the arm already
but it will NOT install right,
maybe this only needs to be repackaged?
QPSword
A CAD program of some sort that reads DXF files.
City Time
PIM apps (I know they have been promised but this stops me from
converting to X11 at the present time - address book and
calendar)
Chess
Thanks for asking
Jim
-
How about Mozilla Firebird. Konqueror seems too slow on the Z.
-
Lord Davon,
You don\'t even have to ask, I would be more than happy to help! :-)
-
Thanks. Sorry about not emailing you back around x-mas. I was in the middle of a move and just had too much going on the remember. It was on my mind though.

xcopilot??
-
New updates:
Bliss - What a pain in the a**. ;-) Still working on it.
SNES9x-SDL - Working out the linking issues. Almost completed.
xcopilot - Compiled. Moving over to testing.
-
Need someone to help test xcopilot.
Email me at dsolomo1@maine.rr.com
LD

ah, yes.. eboard (xboard / chess) .. would be great.
minimo is desperately needed.
Scott

Minimo (Netscape based browser) has already been ported (afaik). Take a look at the GPE mailing list.
Si
-
Where can we find these ports? Are they available for download?
-
I am placing them into beta phase and either uploading them to zaurus.spy.org (for public beta) or emailing them (more \"iffy\" betas). Depends on the status.
UPDATE: SNES9x-SDL is ready for testing. Testers wanted.
LD
-
Ok. Scott has thankfully mirrored some of the betas and alphas of the ports for us.

how does one use advmame?
it just tells me that it can\'t initialize the fb ...
do you have an example command line? or dot file setup?
how do I tell it to use X?
-
Thnks LordDavon for working on Bliss!
I did not think it could be a problem tough!
Do you think your port, when completed, could also work on X11 for the SL5500?
Or that it would be very difficult to make a QT port?
Adalberto
-
How about angband? (Or a variant like zangband ...)
-
About advmame:
This is for the x11 ROM. You just run it as ./advmame <rom name without the .zip>. You also need to have SDL installed. It is compiled for both the FB (so we can run it outside of X when that is fixed) and SDL. If SDL is not installed, it will disable the SDL and use the FB.
As for the setup file, it will create it in ~/.advance

Adalberto
I am concentrating on the X11 ROM. I have only been working on the Cacko X11 so I am not sure of the compatability of the other roms. If the libraries are the same, I don\'t see a problem.
As for QT, I can move it over to that once I get everything compiled for X11. My development is setup for Cacko right now, but my old SDL/Qtopia environment is all tarred up and ready to go still.
LD
-
Would be really great!
I am sure I can wait for you to complete your work on the X11!
THe old intellivision games were really enjoyable and would be perfect on the Z (not to big HW requests, lots of games, no need to turn the screen, Keyboard available to simulate the extra Intv...)
Wow!
Adalberto
-
Actually, the snes9x-SDL port is running full speed with sound in the games I am testing.
LD
-
advmame was a bad file on the feed. Please redownload if you are having problems.
LD
-
ok, the mame was not the x mame.. problem fixed.
now the issue is that -misc_speed = flat
doesn\'t stay working:
---- 7.11.2 misc_speed ----
Selects the speed factor always active. You can play the game
in slowdown or in nightmare mode!
misc_speed FACTOR
Options:
FACTOR - Float speed factor (default 1.0).
Examples:
misc_speed 1.2
try it... play ms pacman... runs nice.. when you die -- see the speed goes back to normal?
(or 15 to 30 seconds in... the game slows down)
advmame mspacman -misc_speed 4.0
you\'ll see it\'s fast... and watch it slow down.
(start a game fast to see the slowdown while playing).
am I doing it wrong? the docs say the value lasts forever, but it doesn\'t.
if I set the turbo speed, that works.. but I have to hold down a key!
why can\'t the misc-speed just last forever, as it says?!
has anyone actually tried this -- or am I just talking to myself?
am I doing it wrong? just tell me.
Scott
-
Scott,
Thank you for the update. Remember that this is beta software so there may be issues. I will look into the code and see if there is something in there that I can find. Can you run top in the background and look for a memory leak?
LD
-
the update was for the advmame not being \"x\" aware.
you uploaded the new version.
The speed thing is still an issue.
The \"-misc_speed\" value seems to get reset... or not even used.
Try it with mspacman... it will get reset after a short while.
If you set it with galaga -- it has not effect -- although turbo does!
It\'s as if some default value of 1 is hard coded somewhere...
also, it seems like something is fighting something else --
if I press turbo in galaga, I get a speed up, but then it drops back
to normal! even while holding the turbo. It\'s almost like there\'s an
\"auto\" setting that\'s enabled for \"speed\" -- only, for me, it slows
it to 25% instead of 100%. argh.
I\'ve tried setting misc_speed in the config file and on the command line
and the speed *still* gets reset! is the \"startuptime\" value
resetting the speedup, and then not allowing the speedup
to remain?
anyway, I\'ll play more for the next few days and give you feedback then.
:-)
Scott
ps: the snes seems FAST.

LD: Are you still taking requests? If so, I\'d love to see znester.

For the things that need SDL, do we just use one of the Qtopia SDLs for the regular Sharp roms? Which one?
Nevermind, I found the SDL ipks for the X11 rom.

For a calendar application, Korganizer/KoPi would be great. I switched to it
from Sharp calendar a few weeks ago and I\'m not going back.
On the other hand, Evolution is still my desktop calendar, but it might be too big
both physically and screen estate wise.

qualendar is a great replacement too i prefer it to kopi, but its qt based so problematic....
-
Does \"kino2\" video player work for the pdaXrom? If not is there a port in the works? Has anyone compiled a video player yet? Also it would be great if the \"The Kompany\" programs could run on the X11 Rom... (wish list) :wink:
Thanks in advance,
-
I have to go with LadyBug the Korganizer/KoPi look great and the address book does too. Thanks!
-
I am looking into KoPi and Qualendar. The only problem is that they are dependent on Qt libs that do not currently exist for the x11 ROM so I am not trying to compile all of the libs for the ROM. As well, I did find some nice PIMs that require Python and Pyqt, so I have compiled Python for the ROM (yet I think Sash already have Python compiled) and will start testing those once I get back from visiting with my family this weekend.

Hello all,
I\'m a new Zaurus 5500, 750 and 860 user. I think that these gadgets are great. I\'m currntly running Cacko X11 rom on my 750 and 860. At first glance of the X11 roms it SEEMED to me that there was a lack of pim apps available for it. I\'m definitely interested in contributing some development time for porting and producing applications under the X11 roms on the Zaurus.
I\'m currently working on porting KOrganizer. I got it to work on my Zaurus C750 running running pdaXrom (have not tested it on the 860 yet, but assume it would work ). There are some icons missing in the calendar dialog box, but other than that, its working well. It took me some time to get a development environment going -- but all is well now. I now need to figure out how to package this thing and make a .pkg out of it. I still have a lot to learn but on the right track -- I think. Let me know if anyone of you are interested in testing this.

@carlthedever
thats great news !! i\'m glad to see there is some efforts to make the Z more then just the most expensive game-boy
(sorry, didn\'t want to offend anyone!!) i\'d be happy to help testing. which version did you port ? Pi oder the full korganizer ?
i did setup my linux box last weekend and tried to port qualendar but the dev-env is still not fully setup. also i still
need to get my wlan-usb-stick to work:(
also, i\'d like to see a web-browser which IS working. konq is just to slow on my c700 (needs about 2minutes to
display google.com), mozilla is to big.... maybe dillo ?

we should trry some of the other x browers... just to see if any are any good.
-
I\'d like to see how mozilla\'s minimo works, Firefox is great but it is still too slow.
-
It would be nice to have a VNC client working. Should be an easy port.
-
X11 ports that would make the C750 a killer machine?
For me it would be:
Ethereal + Libpcap
Minicom + Libncurses (or another serial-capable terminal client)
Konsole (or similar with scroll up/dn buffer)
a TFTP server of some kind
Well that\'s enough to be getting on with. If I can get a Dev environment sorted, I may have a go at these myself.
-
dev coming soon...
*I\'m* waiting...
:-)
Scott
-
The development environment for cross compilation is pretty good and not too hard to use. The older zgcc image for running on the machine works fine too. That said, I\'m looking forward to seeing what the new development environment is too.
-
Is handwriting something that is just not going to be a part of this X11 setup?
-
It would be nice to have something like GnomeMeeting ported as well

ya, I was thinking about sending them an email today...
I think I will.
in the mean time -- are there any other decent ST emulators for linux?
I just compiled STonX for sparc ... I need to find a free tos replacement.

I compiled STonX and placed it in the feed. You can get a free TOS replacement at http://emutos.sourceforge.net/en/index.htm (http://emutos.sourceforge.net/en/index.htm)

awesome, thank you.

Ok. I gave up on StonX, so I compiled Hatari. Hatari seems to be running just fine too so I placed it in the feed. The mouse calibration is a little off unless running in full screen. I am looking into why.

Lord:
your stonx isn\'t complete.... your STonX dir is nor o+r, but I did a make under sparc (runs fast!) and found the filenames.
for your tar, you need Keysyms and cartridge.img (both in the top level of STonX make dir). However, even with that,
stonx didn\'t seem to want to run... it kept locking up after the keysym load. It\'s too bad, because it seems to have a lot
more config options than hatari. I tried about a dozen roms and a dozen settings (all roms and settings worked on
a 500mhz sparc). nothing working on the zaurus :-<
I tried hatari... but the pointer was always off. it wasn\'t always off by the same amount, but 80% of the time I couldn\'t
even get the pointer to go up high enough to get to the menus... most of the time, the emulator ran so slow... for
instance, one time, it took about 15 seconds to draw the first gem desktop screen. :-< What and how did you
set up your hatari that allowed you to run a game?
I\'ll work some more on the other emulators, etc.
Scott
-
Does anyone have a copy of libreadline?
I could grab it from the OZ feed I suppose but I\'d prefer everything to be \'done right\'.
./configure\'s complaining about not being able to run test programs when cross-compiling and I haven\'t got time to edit the script at the moment.

I am going to continue to debug stonx and see what is going on. As for hatari, it was running pretty good on my C760. I was running it in fullscreen to resolve the pointer issue. I am not sure why it is not working with the mouse coords defines in X, but this is the same issue as with Dosbox. Let me see what I can find out.
LD
-
ya, I tried wiping my pointercal ... and recalibrating, but that didn\'t help.
I tried overclocking and underclocking.. that didn\'t help.
I tried tapping first, where the \"bee\" was to see if it was a vnc-like first click calibration...
that wasn\'t it.
I tried full screen. I tried --vdi (btw: --frameskip gives invalid option) ... didn\'t work.
I had almost decent calibration with full screen, but I noticed that when I clicked near the
menus -- the pointer JUMPED.. then it was not accurate.
Do you have any references for any disk images? I\'d hate to have to convert all those
steem disks over (512 of\'m) ...
stonx seems like it has many more options that will allow for finer tuning of the system,
so it would be good to see where it is failing (profiling, tracing, etc?)
I also tried bochs... but we don\'t have bios image, etc. I think we should work on making
these into ipk or at least usable. When I get some time, perhaps this weekend, I\'ll try
to do what it takes to make each emulator work with at least some sort of boot image, etc.
I tried xu4-9 and it said it:
I/O warning: failed to load external entity \"egaPalette.xml\"
xu4: error: error parsing egaPalette.xml
also, maybe the bunary should be named xu4 and not just u4?
What I did was grab all the files in the feeds/davonz -- and now have my 760 at work..
but I don\'t have net access here. so I can\'t xfer any other files, etc.
Scott
-
I don\'t especially want anyone to port if for me (as I\'m perfectly capable), but is there a terminal app (like rxvt) which has a scroll bar on the side so I can go back and look at what\'s been spewed out? This may actually be possible with xterm for all I know?
Si
-
use the middle button and ctrl together anywhere on the xterm, at the top of the pop up menu will be scroll bar, check it and you\'ve got a scroll bar. Bad thing is you have to use the middle button to scroll. Forget it at your peril, the command prompt isn\'t fond of letting you forget :-)
HTH

davon -- with the latest exult you have compiled -- I get screen corruption.... under the pointer, etc.
Has anyone else tried exult? does it work for you? This would be an awesome game, if the pointer
didn\'t have the corruption under it.

It may be that I used the old SDK on it. I will recompile a new one under the latest SDK.

Minimo (Netscape based browser) has already been ported (afaik). Take a look at the GPE mailing list.
I would *really* love to try a port of minimo, if anyone has one for pdaxrom. This looks like the perfect browser for pdaxrom.
I tried the one from http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/details.phtm...?package=minimo (http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/details.phtml?package=minimo) , but haven\'t been able to get it to install, even using ipkg command line. Can we get a build (with xft enabled) and have it added to the pdaxrom feed? Thanks.
-
I think minimo is on everyones wishlist. Have you tried dillo? It is far from perfect, works good for me until a minimo port is available.
-
dillo is amazing for simple HTML... try scrolling in dillo (try middle button, etc).
dillo full screen, dillo-xft... very nice.
firefox when you need it, dillo when it\'s good enough. I tend to browse with both, in dillo, and then paste to firefox if the
rendering is too far off.
Lord -- thanks for the new SDK. also, I think the latest exult is 1.1.10rc2 or 3 ...

When I tried to recompile it using the pdaXrom sdk and instructions at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html) I got an error because it was trying to make use of shellcode for the intel processor (!?). Maybe I\'m missing something ..

I had the same problem with that version. I think it is due to the changes that were made.
I compiled the vanilla version 79.1 and ran it on my system without any issues. I then took the sources on my drive and copied to a 79.1.scott version for you to try to make your changes with again. Get them in and I will recompile and test.

Hi all
If someone is interested I have a working version of ethereal for X11/pdax. I tested it on my 760 and it seems to be able to dump all packets that I tunnel over USB. To be honest the GUI is too small to be very useful but I guess it can be used as a last resort, tethereal is also included for console people. I don\'t have any ftp/web server so if you want it just tell me where to put it...

Thanks for the work on Ethereal, guys!
My Z needs a reflash at the moment (trashed my Xwindows by trying to run extracted debian version of Xvnc, X can no longer find it\'s fonts),
but I\'ll give it a try as soon as it\'s done.
I did get xterm to work with a history buffer and scroll-up/dn, by using: xterm -rightbar -bg black -fg green -cr red -ms yellow +dc -sb -sl 1000
in /usr/share/applications/xterm.desktop - but the scroll functionality needs the use of the middle \'mouse\' button.
Version 2.1 of minicom worked (but only in monochrome), by linking libncurses.so.4 to the PdaXrom version: libncurses.so.5.3 in /lib
So; Roll on the SDK, and could someone take a look at the debian versions of xkbd and xstroke please?
Cheers,

ha, I can get dia on my pda... but I can\'t even get it compiled on my solaris at work.

I have compiled XFig. Package available at http://www.pmf.neominds.net/feed/xfig_3.2....a3_armv5tel.ipk (http://www.pmf.neominds.net/feed/xfig_3.2.5alpha3_armv5tel.ipk).
Excellent... now after I hunt around these forums for all the other things I want (BT, email, decent PIM, etc), it\'ll look like I\'ll have a nice little working environment!
Now I\'m no linux expert (I\'m learning as I go along), but it seems that one of the biggest advantages that the Qtopia ROM has over the XROM is that a lot of the apps make use of the keyboard for navigation. Now, is there anyway to map navigation keys so the XROM can be more keyboard friendly?

Does anyone know of a working port of DGEN, the Sega Genesis emulator. LD compilied a version but it crashes with a SDL exception error...
I would much rather see a port of Gens. It\'s a better emulator overall.
I don\'t think the linux port is quite ready, but once it is it shouldn\'t be too hard to port. I think the linux port is using the allegro libs which have already been ported.
-
Some more port requests:
1) Hardware-level PC emulator (for example, Dosbox refused to set 320x200x64K and 640x400x64K modes, though they\'re VESA compatible and Zaurus hardware is more than capable to handle them);
2) GSM dialer for GPRS cards like Windows Mobile Phone Tools;
3) Something like OpenOffice, including presentation program with MS Powerpoint support and drivers for the most popular CF-VGA cards;
4) CF GPS programs - I know they do exist for the \"big\" Linux;
5) Last but not least - QPE libs and other things required so we could run Qtopia games on pdaX ROM.

If anyone\'s bored over the weekend, how\'s about:
Frozen bubble
KFoulEggs or similar
Sokoban (I assume there must already be a version of this about - anyone have a link?)
Solitaire of some or other description (as above, I can\'t believe that there\'s nothing already in existance)
If not I\'ll try next week.

In my opinion, what should be simply done is a fusion with Debian ARM distribution. It\'s not the first time I say this and Sash will perhaps recognize me (IRC or Zaurus Forum...).
What I mean with this fusion:
- finish ipkg so it becomes completely stable and could manage correctly .deb files.
- add some libraries to be more Debian compatible and add package dependency so ipkg could completely replace Debian one by .ipk package.
- Tell to all user winning for a package: \"it\'s in Debian repository. If you want something smaller, just build it and upload the source and the binary in our incoming directory\".
- Take http://www.emdebian.org (http://www.emdebian.org) control so Debian could begin to have a real voice in embedded market other than \'extract files and do it by hands\'. Of course, only if they want to.
And the most important:
- refuse to open CVS write access to the base system for anyone other than those that have prouved their value during more than 6 months (6 months of contribution and submitted patches).
- do things like they think they should do it (like any PC distro today) and use/include software builded by other people and coming from other website. They need only to work on the base system and not on the wall thing (that shouldn\'t prevent them from building good tools or other thing, sure).
- listen to users but with a very strong reflexion because most of them are simple Trolls here (saying that it\'s a shame because there\'s no synchronisation with Outlook although the system just emerge and need to be fixed for exemple).
- list task that could need works and perhaps ask for maintainers like on Debian. I\'m talking about the wall purged application set and not the base system.
That\'s it! Someone desagree? I\'m already have an idea about whom.

KFoulEggs: [span style=\'font-size:15pt;line-height:100%\']Well, there\'s XPuyopuyo (http://chaos2.org/xpuyopuyo/), but it uses GTK-1.2, and I don\'t actually want GTK-1.2 libraries on my Zaurus. Perhaps I will port it to GTK-2.2 as an exercise...[/span]

Thanks pmf,

Some mplayer front end i.e. gmplayer
BTW, anyone having any progress with minimo?

Is there a way to get the following ported:
1. Database management application (compact, but powerful). Like a forgotten dBase III-IV.
2. Compact word processor and spreadsheet. Siag office sucks (*.doc and *.xls reading/writing is a must). Maybe Hancom word/sheet?
3. Project management software.

If a kind soul can port any nes emulator (I think nester runs the best), it will keep me from having to switch to the qt rom every time I go out of town
-
The Hancom apps (for X11) can be downloaded from the yopy site for free, you will need to create a login though.
I\'ve not tried them yet, but you just reminded me about them (I grabbed them months ago).

2 lardman:
No sign of a Hancom Office on www.yopy.com. Did I take you wrong? X86 source tarballs for Hancom and KOffice are too long to edit (tens of MB). I wonder if you could check your package.
2 all:
Does anybody rememeber where to get C libraries to process dBase IV/FoxBase data files?
Is there a useful Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48/Plus emulator for X11 (non-Java)?
-
Apparently, those applications (Hancom Office for QT/X11) have been removed from the Yopy web site. Certainly because of to much download (and because they are included in the Yopy CD).
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/) for applications.
www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, www.altavista.com and perhaps www.sourceforge.net for a library to access dbase files (sorry, can\'t help).

Has anyone considered porting py-gnumeric to pxaX11?
We already have:
- gnumeric
- Python
- PyQT (?)
It would be nice to be able to use the Python plugin/console to add custom functions to gnumeric spreadsheets.
Python functionality is already offered for x86 (in gnumeric-plugin-extras under Debian at least), but spreadsheets containing any python functions won't work properly on the Zaurus if I understand correctly
I'm hoping it wouldn't take much effort.
cheers.

I have just got kegs up and running. Looking good but the apple pointer and the x pointer are in diferent places and x/qt doesn't seem to allow function keys (f8 needed to grab the mouse).
Also, I'm confused why this is slower than basilisk given the simpler architecture being emulated.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
on the top of my wish list is enigmail for thunderbird.
I couldn't compile it because of the lot libraries depended.
The Debian package uses other C library than pdaXrom. (1.1 beta1)
Easiest would be to compile it with thunderbird together.
Thanks,
Tamás
