Scummvm And An Sl-5500

[mtxblau]

After much, much searching on ZUG Forums for this particular issue, I haven't resolved it, which is odd since almost all my other questions were answered 10,000 fold. But, maybe I'm really doing something wrong.

In any event, I've been trying to get ScummVM working on my zaurus. It's an SL-5500, using theKompany rom, alpha 2.0 I believe, which I downloaded from this site.

I've tried using the download from killefiz.de/zaurus, and from http://chrisg.crispy-cow.de/zaurus/, neither of which appears to work. Let me elaborate - the latter requires more packages that I can't find (except at Openzaurus, but those won't work on my rom) and the former - well it says it has a GUI, but when I click on the icon I get the busy image, then nothing.

So maybe the former does actually work, but I have no idea how I would go about using it (I can't seem to find documentation for it).

So, condensing that tripe, it's something like this:

1) Are the files I just indicated above the most recent versions for the Zaurus?
2) If not, is there a place that I could find the most recent ipks?
2a) Somewhat related, where does one find the most recent libraries for games and such?
3) Where can I find documentation to run ScummVM on the Zaurus? (which I imagine would save the headache of answering these questions)
4) If none exists, could someone explain it for me (please?)?

Here are the libraries I have installed. I think some may overlap, but I installed those that other games required, like Zcfeu (which works):

libSDL - 1.2.6cvs-1

libSDL-mixer - 1.2.5cvs-1

libSDL-net - 1.2.5cvs-1

libglib2.0 - 2.2.1

libmad - 0.14.2b-1

libsdl - 1.2.5-slzaurus20030704

zlib - 1.1.2

and ScummVM version 0.5.1-2, because I couldn't find the other libraries that 0.6.1 required for ScummVM Qtopia.

I did install two versions of libsdl, but the package manager didn't recognize it as a package already installed (so I installed it). Forgive me, but doesn't package manager recognize updated versions of the same package (I'm not sure, so I erred on the side of caution and installed and left both there).

Thank you for reading this long, drawn out post, and thank you especially for any and all help. I love my zaurus, and love the tkcROM (so much better than the 3.13!), and I sincerely appreciate all the help ZUG has given me in the past (lurking for a year - and until now had no need to post).

Thanks again!

In regards to the libsdl, if I remove either and leave one, prboom stops working. So, I left both.

I think I managed to get ScummVM installed properly, made a proper config file named .scummvmrc in /home/zaurus, and from the commandline I can run something like

scummvm maniac

However, I get the message: _hwscreen failed

And it's happened on two other games.

Any idea what might be causing this? Google came up with nothing of any use.

Thanks!

On a hunch I tried it rotated, and it worked! But very slowly.

So, I then rotated it the opposite direction, where the terminal fonts were backwards and unreadable, but the game(s) ran flawlessly.

Now I need to figure out why the rotation fonts are messed up when rotated 90ccw.

I also noted the zug has its own feed, so that's settled as well.

Thanks!
