i had to disable psoloads builtin dns server and run my own instead to make
it work.... might be worth a try if you get "unable to bind to socket" errors.

Hello,

you got this message because normal users arent allowed to bind ports und=
er 1024
and dns uses port 53. if you already have got your own dns server on you
network, you can just make it resolve the PSO server name, else, you can =
simply
run psoload as root.

uhmz my wine runs suid root so thats probably not it (i think?!)

Hmm, the other case when such a message happens, is if you already have an
application which has bound a socket to this port. ie : if you 've got a
dns server running on this host.

Right then, I am in UK so my cube is a PAL cube (anyone else running PAL?=
)

It was bought mid december of last year.

Am using psoload v1.1 OSX/Linux port running on Linux. (Are we getting a
v2.0 OSX/Linux port?)

Can't seem to get it running in DolWin at all. Is there anything special
i need to do?

Could the fact that it is PAL be causing the boot only as far as PID hash=

table?

Also would it be simple to check if the cube is PAL and enable the frameb=
uffer
in PAL or PAL60 mode?

If so i would like to implement this as my tv doesn't do 60Hz to well :-(=


To access the CVS properly i am guessing i register with SF then ask the
maintainer to add my username to CVS access?

If this is the case then could you add me Michael? my username is phreaks=
ter.

Good work on the doc gropeaz. Should be very helpful.

DolWin won't work at the current status any more, because it does not 
support virtual memory - GameCube games don't need it, but Linux 
depends on it.

It might have to do with PSOload 1.1. I use a mid-December 2003 PAL GC 
and I have the full screen with PSOload 2.0

Yes. The framebuffer *is* in PAL mode - at least on your GC. As I 
understand the code, it inherits the mode from the PSO game.

Sure, I've added you.
Btw, anonymous CVS always returns the state of 24 hours before.
