With Sharp and Cacko rom's, this card works, without any changes.

What did you make to "detect networks"?

Did you configured any connections? "Settings->Network"...

Sharp ROMs / Open File With Text Editor

« on: November 05, 2007, 11:07:07 am »

Okay, so I'm a noob with linux and the zaurus.  I'm running cacko 1.23 on a c1000.  What's the command to open a file with a text editor in konsole?  I've tried midnight commander and can open the file but can't figure out how to save it.  Is there a better text editor built into cacko?

In console:

more <file> -> only to see
less <file> -> only to see
vi <file> -> this is an editor, present in every unix.
joe <file> -> another editor, not in all machines, you have to install, you can see the help of this editor with "ctrl-k + h"

There are another options...

Software / Gpsp Gba Emulator For Cacko/sharp Roms

"./" is your current directory! only will work if executable is in this directory. Run without this, like this:

cd /hdd3/Documents/application/Game_Roms/gba

gpsd <rom file>

Again, Give to us your feedback.

Software / Gpsp Gba Emulator For Cacko/sharp Roms

« on: November 03, 2007, 02:40:16 pm »

Here's what I have tried so far:
1. I tried this emulator in pdaxii13 and discovered that I needed to launch it in a console after I navigate to the directory that gpsp and gpsp_bios.bin are located. It launched in a very small size and the controls are backwards.

2. So I tried the same method in Cacko, and my machine froze up.

3. Next, I tried my 2nd console that I have set up for Turbografx CD games. This console has "run in magnified screen" checked. This stopped the game from freezing. I still have to navigate to the directory to launch the emulator. The controls are reversed here. Running this emulator this way is similar to to running psxforall, in that you navigate your file system in a text console, and the emu options are available.
Next, I need to use the script that I use in turbografx, but modify it to make the controls work and make it recognize gba games, which takes me to the last thing I did.

4. I copied sidmoraes script, placed it into /opt/QtPalmtop/bin and launched Zemu. When I selected the game ROM in Zemu's file browser, it looks like it starts to load, but throws me back to the file browser. So I think I need to make a new script that has part of the above script and some of the turbografx script. As I recall, all the different emus in Cresho's package have similar named scripts.

First: Take a look at the executables, or, make shure zaurus can execute: chmod +x "/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/zemufeex_gba.sh" and "chmod /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/gpsp", as I can remember, I make this litle trick.

Second: We have a linux machine, you can have diferent versions of libs and load the proper one. Change the script, in the line "gpsp $2", change to 'LD_PRELOAD=<where are the right lib is> gpsp "$2"', like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libsdl.so.0.7.2 gpsp "$2"
You can see what file is from what version with "ipkg files <package>"
Remember to copy the files from the least used libs to another place, and use this version only when required.

For me, the last release is ok.

Software / Gpsp Gba Emulator For Cacko/sharp Roms

« on: November 02, 2007, 11:02:42 pm »

I figured that gba_bios.bin needed to be placed in /home/zaurus/
I tried it and my Z locked up. (SL-C3100 with Cacko 1.23)
So I downloaded libsdl_1.2.5-bvdd-03_arm.ipk from this thread, and installed it after uninstalling libsdl_1.2.5-bvdd-07-2
gpsp still locks up my Z.
tovarish, where is the script that allows this to be used in the zemu frontend?
I have Cresho's entire zemu package with all games working, including Turbografx CD games.
I would like to get Gpsp Gba Emulator working, but I don't want to break my current setup that uses the zemu frontend.

This is my script:
# cat /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/zemufeex_gba.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
cd "$1"
#GPSPKEYS=L,R,Down,Up,Left,Right,Start,Select,B,A
#export GPSPKEYS=105,111,122,119,97,115,109,110,107,106
#export GPSPKEYS=111,112,304,113,9,97,13,32,107,108
#export GPSPKEYS=303,120,274,273,276,275,13,32,306,308
#export GPSPKEYS=97,115,274,273,276,275,13,32,122,120
#Sidao
export GPSPKEYS=115,97,276,275,273,274,13,32,120,122
 
gpsp "$2"
 
#VisualBoyAdvance --auto-frameskip --rom-size16 "$2"
 
exit 0
#  

I tried some keys combination, and I like my "joystick" in my zaurus keyborad.

hi, bad news, on a C1000 with cacko 1.23, and after copying the gba-bios.bin file on the same directory than the rom directory, gpsp just freeze the zaurus (reset needed).

Any hint?

I have a c1000 and a c3100 with cacko, working. I beleive you need another version of libsdl, with bvdd support. Package from feed don't work.

Software / Skype For Zaurus

« on: April 17, 2007, 10:48:49 am »

A bunch of us on the Skype forum have been inquiring about the possibility of using a version of Skype on the Z for a while now. There's never been any reply from the admins ... see http://forum.skype.com/index.php?act=Searc...highlite=Zaurus for all the threads on the subject.

I've pretty much given up on it, now I'm trying to make speaQ work. It did install. It would be nice to get something working, on my trip to Florida I ran up $80 in cellphone roaming charges in airports where there was free wifi I could have used, and did use for email etc.
