Qt/Qtopia / Compiling libSDL from zports CVS

« on: June 10, 2004, 07:56:04 am »

You trying to compile it on your zaurus or on a pc ?

I never tried directly from a zaurus. But if you only need the .a and .la etc, I probably have them on my pc
(Or i can do it for you). I will probably have time this weekend to build you that, Hope your not in a hurry

Cxx0 Hardware / Were can I buy anew Stylus?

« on: June 09, 2004, 03:21:22 pm »

I use a Tungsten T stylus with a single turn of scotch tape to give it enough friction so it doesn\'t fly out of the Z. The head of the stylus protrudes a couple of millimeters from the top of the Z. The nice thing is that, since it\'s retractable, you get a longer stylus than those made specifically for the Z.

I use TT stylus too, i dont use tape or anything, the stylus hold enough for me at least.

Its a bit too long, if you use some strengh (yeah the plastic is HARD to remove) (and more) you can remove the plastic cap, cut it, cut the metal (its HARD to cut too  and the put the plastic back, my stylus fit perfectly in my c7x0.

Qt/Qtopia / WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or &

« on: June 09, 2004, 12:24:52 pm »

Heya everyone,

First lucho, was wodnering if you wanted to put stratagus ipk on zports web page ? Thats would be a great package  (I am admin there with mteira).

Second, i checked all the thread (well quick reading). Anyone know what is wrong with the zports SDL 1.2.6 ? We always looking forward to fix it, etc etc. Anyway I didnt compiled for a while for my zaurus (especially i broke the LCD), but Im a big WC2 fan so i will probably check this week !

Well i have to check a couples of stuff first, but this is really cool !

Im also looking to compile daphnee-emu.com (sp) (Dragon\'s Lair II and Space Ace emu) in futur, but I cant find the old data yet (the videos).

Cool stuff !

Carl Olsen

P.S.: I just signed for fun !

Linux Applications / I built SDL 1.2.7

« on: June 08, 2004, 07:12:42 am »

BUT, I don\'t know how to program using that
I have some good experience of SDL programming for computers, but on my Zaurus C760 I just have \"No available video device\" when doing SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)...
Does anyone have the source of an example program using SDL for Zaurus ? Thanks !

for SDL itself i suggest to check on zports.sf.net, its on the cvs, there is a lots of SDL patches for the c7x0 devices. For example, well you can always check scummvm source or something else that use SDL on the zaurus


Edit: For the original post, thats a yes

For Sale / Wanted / Im looking for a dead c7x0 device (I broke my screen)

« on: June 07, 2004, 12:30:35 pm »

Not sure how it happenned, but somehow i cracked my screen inside (probably hit on the cover). I was hoping that someone here would have a dead c7x0 device, bricked or whatever for sale. So i could switch the screen (I have no idea how hard it is. I hope its not too bad to do it myself).

Anyone know how much it is if i send back the device to sharp japan for repair (Im from canada, not sure they do that either)?

You can contact me at colsen AT (dont spam me omg omg) sympatico.ca, for any offer (even suggestions)

Thanks !

Carl

5x00 General discussions / My Zaurus and ScummVM don\'t get along... :(

« on: June 02, 2004, 03:44:07 pm »

If you mean Monkey Island 3, its a 640x480 game and require at least 8 megs+ of free memory (not cache) to start on a c7x0 machine and its *very* slow atm.

For dependecies, there is libmad that is also required. At least i think. Btw i think mteira released scummvm 0.6.0 for c7x0 and a new libsdl for c850 machine.

For other version or more info. I dont have a 5500, cant help you much more than that.

« on: June 01, 2004, 01:03:00 pm »

Hmm on my c700, the press to \"Menu\" key to bring down the menu and save  my game etc.

Im using scumvm 0.5.5cvs thought, not sure if there is any difference to 0.5.1, i also plan to upgrade the zports one to 0.6 soon enough once i can see if Full Throttle work on it
