Cresho,
Slapping myself upside the head!  I forgot to hold down the stylus and check the "exercise with root privileges" box in Advanced File Manager!!  I should just shoot myself.    

So that fixed the snes games, but Heretic and Doom still have a backwards keypad.  Is there a fairly easy way to fix that?

I got to the second level in Heretic (it's always been one of my favorite games and one of my kids took the disk so I can't play it on the computer).
The second level which is the Dungeons may not sound like much but at my age (63), it wasn't easy to do and I have the save games from the Sharp flash.
I compared the config files and the Cacko Heretic file is the same as the one on the Sharp.  The keypad is described this way:

Code: [Select]

key_right  174
key_left  172
key_up  173
key_down  175
key_strafeleft  44
key_straferight  46
key_fire  32
key_use  32
key_strafe  184
key_speed  182
key_flyup  221
key_flydown  217
key_flycenter  219
key_lookup  223
key_lookdown  218
key_lookcenter  220
key_invleft  107
key_invright  108
key_useartifact  13
Any idea what I should change?

And here's Doom:

Code: [Select]

Thanks, Cresho, for a great game package - if I haven't already thanked you.

I hope I'm not being a total newbie, but I seem to be missing 3 files listed below.
I read this thread from the beginning, but must have missed something.
My 3 questions are about "turbo-nes-snes.zip" (I have pasted cacko users read.txt below)

1. Install, I have [libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050410_arm.ipk]
instead of [libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk]
(Where is the libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk file?)

2. "for the turbografx... place zpce.rc in that directory..." (Where do I find "zpc.rc"? I used find in qkonsole and didn't find it. I also looked for this file in Tree!explorer)

3. "and place znester.rc in that directory" (Where do I find "znester.rc"? I used find in qkonsole and didn't find it. I also looked for this file in Tree!explorer)

Thank you, Jon

cacko users read.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay!

gona post on how to get this to work on cacko 1.23

same thing as the sharprom but do not install any of the files for keyhelper (since i did'nt try with it.)  

Cacko does not need it.

Install
----------------------------------------------------
zpce_0.3.4-1_arm.ipk
snes9x_SDL-2_arm.ipk
zemufe_0.1.1-3ex_arm.ipk
znester_7.1-1_arm.ipk
libmad_0.15.0b-zports-0_arm.ipk
libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk
libSDL-mixer_1.2.6-zports-0_arm.ipk
----------------------------------------------------

then modify this file /home/QtPalmtop/bin/zamufeex_smc.sh
----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION=1
cd "$1"
snes9x -win "$2"
exit 0

or if you want to replace the ok/enter key pause with L instead.  L becomes
the pause and start and ok/enter is null so your game wont be interupted,
use the bottom code.


#!/bin/bash
export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION=1
export S9XKEYS=27,100,99,115,120,97,122,108,32,103,106,117,110,121,98,105,109
cd "$1"
snes9x -win "$2"
exit 0
----------------------------------------------------

for the turbografx
----------------------------------------------------
create a directory in /home/zaurus/.zpce (there may be one already)

and place zpce.rc in that directory and should look like

/home/zaurus/.zpce/zpce.rc
----------------------------------------------------

and last
----------------------------------------------------
create a directory in /home/zaurus/.znester

and place znester.rc in that directory and should look like

/home/zaurus/.znester/znester.rc
----------------------------------------------------

hope this helps.  Works fine for me in cacko.

you said-
1. Install, I have [libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050410_arm.ipk]
instead of [libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk]
(Where is the libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk file?)

i say-
it is in the"do not look at this unless you expirience key rotation problem or want sdl zports installed.zip" file.  this is used if you want to update the libsdl to work with current c1000 games such as lgames. http://lgames.sourceforge.net/ by silvio updated.  and i purpously put those files in there so people won't stray or take any fire from the c-xxxx game developers.  Made it easier.

you said-
2. "for the turbografx... place zpce.rc in that directory..." (Where do I find "zpc.rc"? I used find in qkonsole and didn't find it. I also looked for this file in Tree!explorer)

i said-create a directory in /home/zaurus/.zpce (there may be one already)
and place zpce.rc in that directory and should look like
/home/zaurus/.zpce/zpce.rc  (originaly, none exist so you cannot find it to start with.)

you said-
3. "and place znester.rc in that directory" (Where do I find "znester.rc"? I used find in qkonsole and didn't find it. I also looked for this file in Tree!explorer)

i said-
create a directory in /home/zaurus/.znester
and place znester.rc in that directory and should look like
/home/zaurus/.znester/znester.rc(originaly, none exist so you cannot find it to start with.)

is that easier?  if you are having problems creating directories or finding stuff, just repost and ill help.

those .rc files are available in the "do not look at this unless you expirience key rotation problem or want sdl zports installed.zip" zip file.  I was going to make an ipk installer for easier setup but i got too lazy.  Let me know if you need those ipk file installer, i may be inclined to make an installer.

[Jon_J]

Cresho,
Thank you for your reply.
I was following the cacko instructions to the letter.  I didn't have any games loaded yet. This is when I tried to find these files. I didn't have any problems finding the directory for turbo, or creating the directory for nes. I just didn't know where these files were at.

I didn't know these 3 files were inside:
(do not look at this unless you expirience key rotation problem or want sdl zports installed.zip)
I didn't look in the above, because I hadn't started any games yet.
Anyway, I will place the 2 .rc files into these directories.
And as a last resort, I'll try using the libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk File.

Thanks again,
I'm a total linux newbie, I'm getting the feel for it from tutorials and 2 different Live CDs.

Jon

Cresho--

Finally tried it on OZ this weekend (the OZ release of snes9x works, but fullscreen it's a whopping 9 fps, and while it's 30 fps in a quarter of the screen, it just ain't fun).

(And I keep trying to find a way to use Qvga mode full-screen, but can't quite get it.  Grr.)

Aaanyway...

No-workee.  libsdl wants qpe-base, which of course isn't there.  Forcing installs of libsdl and snes9x gets me a bad symbol error, and I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

So... what exactly did you do to make these packages, so that I can try to replicate it on the OZ side?

Has anyone gotten super mario allstars to work?  I have tried my rom and the one my friend had but it just does nothing after selecting the game, just a black screen.  Is it a memory problem or something?

[gab74]

thanks cresho !!! i've installed on my C3100 with cacko 1.23 and all works well... there is only a strange thing : the keypad is inverted

if i push  UP the player go DOWN and vice-versa
if i push left the player go right and vice-versa

is there a way to sove this  on C3100 ?
THANKS !!!

[Cresho]

yes there is a way.  you most likely installed the wrong ipk. or the rc files or did not modify needed files.

list the ipk files you installed first. even old sdl libraries you have installed.  Then list any file modified or directories created to suposedly fix the rotation problem.

then we go from there.

[Yoshi]

I've installed your package, and it rocks! But it doesn't run full speed. I tried Killer Instinct for example, but it runs a bit shocky, especially when the action's hot. Is this normal, or can it run faster?

[Cresho]

it runs full speed.  just when you click on the keypad, it slows down.  Keyhepler helps this problem just a bit but not enough.

thanks cresho i'vbe installed your [a href=\"http://webpages.charter.net/cresho/turbo-nes-snes.zip]http://webpages.charter.net/cresho/turbo-nes-snes.zip[/url] package unzip it and follow the readme for cacko rom..... and installed the ipk in your package..... i do not find the rc files so what is wrong ?

[Cresho]

the rc files are in the....

"do not look at this unless you expirience key rotation problem or want sdl zports installed.zip"

in this zip file within the zip file you downloaded, it tells you how to fix your key rotation problem.  If you are not very good with command lines or cannot install these files within the home directory, then I recommend you install....


uninstall

libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk

and install

libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050410_arm.ipk

Most people screw up by installing these two files.  It is either one or the other.  libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050410_arm.ipk is installed if you dont want to go through the hassle of installing anything else.  libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk is installed if you want to also play games from http://lgames.sourceforge.net/ but you must also modify some files to get the key rotation right.

I left this option available and very customizable for anybody and for any sharprom or clone or modifed. or what ever.

Let me know if this helped.  It's not a problem...you did something wrong.

Thankyou very much again !!!
