I sent this already as a reply to the Open Mobile Platform
discussion, but I think it got overlooked as OT....Has anyone had any issues with installing gp2xPd? I can't get this
thing to work.I'm on Firmware 3.0.0, on the F100(B). I put the python folder
from the pygame package on my sd root per the instructions on Chris
McCormick's site. I put the gp2xPd folder in my sd/games folder and try to
open the bigtest.gpe. I get a black screen for a few seconds then a white
screen that lasts until I move the joystick, at which point it kicks me
back to the GP2X menu.I'd really like to get this thing to work, but have run out of ideas. Please help me out!
Just a quick note to say that since my gp2x got stolen at a gig, I
haven't maintained that port. Sounds like you are experiencing an issue with
the pygame port though. Do other pygame programs work? Is it compatible with
the latest versions of SDL that ships with gp2x?I might be able to help you debug it remotely.
Note: gp2xPd is 99.999% PDa, and hence almost entirely the work of
Gunter Geiger. My only contribution is the simple pygame based GUI.
We should start a fund to get you a new GP2X! I'll chip in US$10.
