Hello,
  new version of GameRunner after almost one year.

GameRunner is an Openmoko Linux distribution. It aims to convert the
Freerunner phone into a Linux-based handheld game console :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/

New Version 0.3 Available :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/download_installation.html

Screenshots, pictures and instructions about how to play :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/games.html


Changelog since 0.2 :

 - added "The Battle for Wesnoth" game
 - added "Free Heroes II" game
 - added RoadFighter racing game
 - added Xgalaga game
 - added GnuBoy emulator
 - added Xvier (4 in a row) game
 - fixed the problem with ubifs on nand (previous versions used to  
corrupt

   FS on NAND)
 - added bigger icons for launchers
 - improved a bit the snes9x performance


Some random notes :

- Boot time using qi is 15-20 seconds since second boot
- Many games use gamerunner gamecontrol which we wrote to control
  games like an external gamepad. With this tool we do not need to modify
  games source code in order to use touchscreen and accelerometers as  
controls.

  If it is hard for you to play games, please, read the documentation on
  screen and gamerunner web site. Also, you will find a video explaining  
the
  "two modes" feature. The gamecontrol has a lot of command line  
arguments,

  so you can set your own settings for it.
- Use Power button for exiting any game and get back to main menu.
- Use Aux button for switching mode in games using gamerunner  
gamecontrol.
- We have a forum to share suggestions, ideas, contribution work or  
report of

  bugs. Also, we think openmoko mailing list is fine as well.
- "save" does not work on The Battle of Wesnoth. We will work on that.

Sorry about the delay for this new version. We got several suggestions on
forums, but we have not had time to work on those ideas before. Now we  
finally

did, so enjoy :-)

Rafa

Is 1833944 the correct size of uImage_3.bin? What does the command "file

GameRunner 0.3 : added jffs2 image

2011-02-18 Thread Rafael Ignacio Zurita

Hi, because some of you asked for an image for NAND we created a jffs2 rootfs.

Get the files from :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/download_installation.html

(Tested using qi as bootloader.)

Note: the jffs2 rootfs is the full system without "The Battle for Wesnoth" game
(no more space available on NAND partition). If you want that specific game
either you remove some games from /usr/games/installed/* and unpackage it there,
or you unpackage the game on a microSD and do a proper link 
/usr/games/installed/wesnoth -> /path/to/wesnoth/on/uSD

Regards,

Rafa

GameRunner v0.3 + uboot problem

2011-02-18 Thread giacomo 'giotti' mariani

Hello everyone,
I've installed gamerunner v0.3 on SD and tried to boot it with gena2x 
uboot version.


I had uboot arror about not recognizing the kernel.
I think that it could be related to the old kernel used in gamerunner.

Does some of you have any idea on how to overcome this problem?

Thanks
   Giacomo

That is probably caused by a dried up backup battery. People have replaced it 
with capacitors, see the archives.

Re: QtMoko v31

2011-02-18 Thread HeaDCase

Nice release, love the quick GPS fix.
I'm having a problem with QX tho, since the update the "mouse" handling has
become erratic, e.g. sometimes it ignores the first click, and on the second
it reacts to both (scrolls two pages at once in FBReader, REALLY annoying)
or sees the click somewhere else than where the stylus really is. However it
doesn't do this right away, after starting QX the first few clicks are
interpreted correctly, after the 6th or so it goes nuts. Any way to debug
this?

Another thing is that after a cold reset (pulling the battery for a second)
the HW clock is reset to 01.01.2000.
