LOL, I finally figured it out after six months. You have to press the "OK" key.

Sharp ROMs / Snes9x Blackscreen

thanks for the info Cresho. I guessed it had some sort of functionality like this. a bit like the batch files I used to make on my Amstrad (only somewhat more advanced) my problem was that I can't see where in zemu to tell the frontend to execute the game, like a button - I've a feeling now that I probably should have just used "OK" - I will find out later when I am back with my zaurus!

I'm sorry if this is an ignorant question, but how do does the frontend actually work? I can run it fine, I think, but all I can see is a sort of browse window, that allows me to view different directories that contain, for example, .smc files. Is there a button in zemu somewhere to launch the correct emulator for a particular ROM? Or does the frontend exist for an entirely different purpose that I'm missing?

Sharp ROMs / Adding A Shell Script To The Tabs

« on: August 23, 2006, 06:46:59 pm »

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could advise me on adding something to the tabs in cacko on my sl-c1000, so that I can access it as an icon. I go in through tab settings and what have you, and everything is normal, but it won't allow me to enter the file I want executed (it's a shell script) as a new application. I have tried placing it in locations in the $PATH and it still tells me the application can not be found. The dialog also offers a list of applications, all of which are real, but I have no idea how to get my shell script onto this list. I know it can be done, as a few of the application launchers are scripts, but I don't know how to do it myself. It won't let me put the absolute path to the script there, perhaps I can change the tabs in an editor? I can't find any other threads with a similar problem (I assume I'm the only one who couldn't figure it out)

Thanks

on stock/sharp rom you can goto /home/QtPalmtop/apps/[tabname]/
make a copy of any *.desktop file, rename it to the program name
edit the file and where it says the original program name just enter your /path/to/script.sh/py/or whatever
make sure the script is executeable.

btw you can edit the displayed name and the icon as well in that [app_name].desktop file

to see it in the tab just goto tab config and exit it, that way it'll refresh your desktop

Brilliant, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.
