Debian / [new] Kernel 2.6.24.4 With Cpufreq

« on: May 19, 2008, 10:41:47 pm »

Is there a hda4 version? Im keeping my debian stuff on a 2 gig partition and maintaining the sharp stuff when i need the dictionaries. Found that my prism card wasn't recognized by the 2.6.23 kernel and is hoping it is fixed in the 2.6.24 kernel........

Debian / New Kernel 2.6.23 !

xdivider: kernels which I gave for testing fits in flash.

Hi, I managed to flashed it successfully. I may be jumping to conclusions but given that it is the same kernel, except for the number of options enabled, the size difference is the only thing I have to work here. The same happened when I tried to flash the Korean kernel. The only thing similar between the 2 are they are both ard 1.26 mb or more whereas those that works are ard 1.23mb. I did notice when I loaded a module from the new kernel in the old one about missing preempt symbols.

OpenBSD / Libraries Dependencies Problem

« on: September 25, 2007, 04:31:43 am »

Did you do upgrade or clean install?
I suppose a clean install will work.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=167930\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Tried both. The key point is 4.1 installs libc.so.40.3 and 4.2 installs libc.so.42.0 only. A soft link to libc.so.41.0 is needed. The part that make me wonder is that the snapshot seem to have forgotten about /usr/local/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib. I assumed if I tried to upgrade from 4.1 which works out of box, then the ld cache is generated automatically. Din work that way however.

When I installed the 4.2 snapshot directly, there was a lot of programs like X that needs 4.1 libs. So The correct install path for 4.2 is openbsd install -> 4.1 -> 4.2 upgrade b4 installing 3rd parties?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=167921\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I am not sure if this is the case. I simply installed 4.2 right away and then the 4.2 packages.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=167926\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Found out why. 2 problems with a clean 4.2 snapshot
1) /usr/local/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib not in the ldconfig cache. Manually refreshed
2) Some packages needs libc.so.40.3. in 4.1 but not 4.2. Softlinked to the libc.so.42.0

Hi, was playing with the 4.2 snapshot yesterday but couldn't run a lot of programs like X which required 4.1 libs. I installed 4.1 lafter that and while trying to grab some precompiled packahes, i found that a lot of the packages required libraries like libX11.so.10.0 that was in 4.2. So did I miss any steps in installing 4.1? I did install 4.1 ipk->install OpenBSD->ftp install of 4.1-> trying to pkg_add from the depositories.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=167842\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes, the 4.2 system cannot use 4.1 packages ...  
So may want to use the 4.2 packages in my feeds and start from there.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For C3000 (based On Beta1/beta3)

« on: January 05, 2007, 06:56:52 pm »

Hmmm, thinking of trying this as I have a lot of X stuff to play with. Would it be difficult to do a dual boot of this and the sharprom/cacko (translator/dictionary)?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gp2x Psone Emulator Running Realy Fast

« on: February 26, 2006, 06:50:30 pm »

I'll a seperate build for 640x480. It would be slower than the 320x240 version since it would have to do a 2x scaling to be full screen. Is this an issue with SDL, the distro being used, or my emu? I'm not quite sure. :/

A new release will be out shortly (in a day or so), I'll include the build with 640x480.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=115811\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It seem to be a SDL in console mode issue as I think I notice a few error messages in dmesg abt video modes.

I'm still waiting on getting the new GPU in place for ZPSX. It's about 10-20% faster on the GP2X port GP2PSX.

I also am reworking the timers so interrupts are called more efficiently. This should speed up some parts of games and prevent ZPSX from "hanging".

The next version should be ready within a few days. I'll basically release the new version with or without the new GPU if it takes longer than expected.

So new things...Should be faster, should be more compatible over the most recent version, and will have save states implemented.

Sorry about the wait...

Hi, could you have a option to run the emu in 640x480? I found that this seem to be the only way for me to run it in a console using SDL 1.2.9.

Hi everyone.

New release out:
http://www.friggingames.com/zpsx035.zip

This release should have a large speed increase. It uses assembly for the gpu blitting routines.

There's quite a few changes, so read the changes.txt inside the zip file.

Also, thanks to xdivider, the select key now works.

Urielka: Sorry to hear that. 3 months isn't toooo long though. ;P
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=114151\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thanks for the update. However it hangs in the same location that previous locations did. I was kinda surprised and tested the versions I have. This hanged in v0.05, 0.10, 0.30 and 0.35 but not in 0.06 and 0.20. I wonder if it is related to the frame skip as those 2 versions did not have that option.

edit: tried loading a save game but it hanged after the list of save games was displayed. I notice some sluggishment in the initial screen where you are suppose to choose a char to play. The game is daikoukai gaiden.

Following xdividers tip, I uninstalled/ deleted everything I mentioned in the last post except the pdaxrom sdl and sdl-mixer packages. I then installed

xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.7.1_arm.ipk

dropped down to the console and tried zpsx again. It complained abou not finding libstdc++ again so I re-installed the pdaxrom libstdcxx package again but then it was asking for libts which I found in the pdaxrom 1.1.0 rc12 feed mirror at

http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/1.1.0/rc12/feed/

(Got it from here as there was no libts in the beta1 feed there and the pdaxrom site is down as I write)

libts installed OK too but now when I try to run zpsx I get the error:

/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version 'GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

So I downloaded libgcc_1_armv5tel.ipk and glibc_2.2.5_armv5tel.ipk from the feed link xdivider gave earlier (for the SDL libs) but both didn't want to install. They complained about a read-only file system and a bad tar headers.

zodttd- Cacko 1.23 supports the C1000. You can download it from

http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko.html

People have got Cacko and pdaxrom dual-booting on the C3000 but I don't know if anyones worked out dual-booting on the C1000 yet. I'm waiting for a stable pdaxrom for the C3000 first, but I might get impatient if we don't get zpsx running under Cacko 
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=113726\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I used this particular ipk, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-15_arm.ipk, not sure where I downloaded it from cos its a long time back. U will need to do a ar x on the ipk to extract the data.tar.gz. Note that the fullscreen version will run in console mode but the 320x240 version gives me a white screen. I had to chroot to a pdaxrom dir, startx, and to run the lo-res version in a xterm. If u prefer to run it inside the sharprom, u can use xqt but its pretty slow. Im currently running the 0.6 hires version at frameskip 4 for my gaming. Not too bad if u are running rpgs.

Urielka: Final Fantasy 7 runs good. I don't have many 3D games besides that.

danboid: I wonder why it's asking for X11's lib. Is Cacko available for the C1000? If so I can try it out and see if I can get things working for you. Not sure what libts is.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=113697\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

i think its the library for touch screens. I got it from the pdaxrom feed.

The command to create a .bin image file from a PSX disc under Linux is:

cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile gamename.bin --device /dev/hdc gamename.toc

Please include this in the readme zodttd! I don't think the .toc file is needed is it but the command won't run without- .toc file is only a few bytes anyway.

If /dev/hdc doesn't work it will most likely be hdd or hdb instead. I tried this command with a psx disc in my CDRW drive first and it was taking forever so I put the disc into my DVD-RW drive instead and the disc was ripped in just over a minute! I don't think cdrdao likes my Lite-On drive.

xdivider said he got zpsx running under Sharp so I thought I'd try to get zpsx 0.30 running under cacko on my C3000 but I'm not having much luck. Here's where I'm up to:

First I copied zpsx on my microdrive with scph1001.bin and my disc image (strider2.bin) in the same directory.

Copied the included libbz2 to /usr/lib and installed libsdl 1.2.9 and sdl-mixer 1.2.5 from

http://zaurus.vivaphp.net/pdaxrom/1.1.0bet...000-C3100/feed/

all was fine up to here. I rebooted into text mode and tried running zpsx but it complained about a missing libstdc++ so I installed the one from the above feed no problem. Next it was asking for libX11.so.6. Unfortunately the xfree package from that same feed didn't want to install under cacko so I extracted libX11.so and libXext.so from it and copied them to /usr/lib.

zpsx is now asking for libts-0.0.so.0 but I'm not sure which package from pdaxrom to install for this. I found some libts ipkg files on google but they were for OZ and familiar so I was uncertain about installing them.

xdivider- did you not have to install lots of extra libs to get zpsx running under Sharp? Gotta say I'd be stunned if I got this to work without a recompile.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=113693\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I have Xqt and most of the X libs installed via Meanie's jumbo package. Libsdl, libstdc++, libts and libz2 for zpsx are installed in a preload dir. I usually test the emulator under xqt before dropping to console to run it. Another possibility you can do is to install a chroot pdaxrom dir using the root-akita tarball and drop down to console to startx in it.
