For Sale / Wanted / Zaurus 5500 Plus 256mb CF card for sale

« on: March 30, 2004, 09:21:13 pm »

Gang-

    I\'m getting ready to upgrade to a C series Zaurus, and need to part with my trusty 5500.  I thought I\'d post it here first before I do so on eBay. The 5500 has all the original stuff (AC adapter, cradle, manuals, CD, etc) and original box.  I\'ll also throw in a 256mb CF card for storage. Anyone interested, please contact me at dshumate@mn.rr.com

I\'m looking to post it for 175.00

Thanks-

Dennis

Software / NES emulator ipk

Corey-

   Well, that did copy it over to usr/bin.  However, now when I try to launch the emulator, it just gives me an hourglass when I choose a nes rom from \"Documents\", then stops.  I\'ve rebooted the unit, but still no dice. What\'s the command line to run it?

Corey-

   I am using Qtopia (3.10 Sharp ROM). I try to use the file manager to cut and paste-but it says \"paste failed\" (Same with copy and paste to directory.)

How can I do it from the command line?

Thanks again-

Dennis (owes Corey a six-pack)

Software / NES emulator ipk

Corey-

   Yikes! Here\'s what I got when I tried it from the command line:

zcat: znester_7.1-1arm.ipk: not in gzip format
zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz from znester_7.1-1arm.ipk

WTF?

Corey-

    Sorry for all the idiot questions, man.  I cannot seem to find znester in add/remove now when I transfer the ipk. Do I have to install it from the command line?

A thousand apologies-

Dennis

Corey-

   Will I still need the zNester app with the gui nes emulator?  (The link to the zNester ipk appears dead)

Thanks-

Corey-

   Thanks, Corey! Will this work \"out of the box\" on the Sharp ROM? (3.10)

Gang-
 
    I cannot seem to locate the ipk for Znester anymore, even at the ZSI site.
When I copy it to my 5500, it shows up in add/remove apps, but never shows up as an icon to be launched. I seem to have all the correct libraries (as well as a ton of games waiting to be played-Tecmo Super Bowl!!!)  Any idea what I need to do to get the emulator running?

Thanks for everything! This forum rocks!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / correct settings for sync with XP (OpenZaurus user)

« on: March 27, 2004, 10:53:23 am »

Gang-

    I\'m trying to sync my 5500 (using latest release of OZ) with my XP machine, and I\'m rolling \"snake-eyes\" so far.  The connection is never established, whether it\'s TCP/IP or I/O-USB, I cannot make it sync with the Qtopia desktop.

Anyone know what my settings should be on the security tab on the 5500?  Since I\'ve only used the Sharp ROM in the past, I\'m used to \"PC LINK\" as an option to connect.

Thanks.

Off Topic forum / Apple PDA Rumors Abuzz

« on: March 20, 2004, 01:40:42 pm »

I guess Steve Jobs was asleep when someone made this decision? (The man has never acknowledged the PDA as a good thing idea)

I would assume that an OSX-lite OS would be the only option.

Believe it when I see it, though...
