I haven't tried other pygame ports, but I somewhat assume it is a problem with the way I installed pygame. All I did was unzip the pygame_beta1 zip file and copy/pasted the python folder to my root on the sd card. Do I have to make a script or something? Also, there are some zipped files within the python/lib folder. Do I have to unzip those as well? And if I do, do I just let them dump in the lib folder, or in a sub-folder in ./lib with the same name as the zip files? Just now, I put the testgame1.py and testgame2.py into my root folder to try pygame out. A blackscreen with an offsset red square came up on the screen until I pushed a button, then I got booted out. Any advice from this point?
Hi Matthew,
The red square in the demo app means your pygame install is probably working correctly. Don't change it. The white screen in gp2xPd means that it's probably running properly. It sounds to me like my code is crashing, possibly because you don't have any GUI elements (like a toggle) in your patch. Could you please confirm for me whether you have any toggles in your patch?
Chris.
