A friend has one, and they are _tiny_ - the picture on that web site is only a bit smaller than the real thing. It will convert a regular hard drive in the USB 2 enclosure of your choice into something your GC can see over the Ethernet port. And they tend to be cheap and easy to find on Ebay. The best part is it runs Linux, and has a fairly robust community making firmware upgrades for it (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/). So it can make that drive available through NFS, CIFS(Samba), FTP, whatever. It's a pretty cool little gadget made to add USB drives to a network, but it sounds like a perfect little NAS appliance for a GC. Regards, Mike |

The kernel by itself isn't a working system; for example, mplayer and its attendant libraries takes several megabytes of space, requiring storage on DVD (see the mfe-distro) or on an NFS/NBD server. So since you need extra storage anyway, you might as well put the kernel with the rest of the linux system. |

The Viper Extreme's USB port is supposed to be 2-way and programmable, but its specs hasn't been released yet. I wouldn't store the linux kernel on the chip's flash for two reasons: it would take almost all of the available space and, since the kernel gets updated every now and then, one would have to reflash it. It would be better, I think, to store a small apploader on the chip and load the kernel via USB. This could be done automatically on Cube startup.

A friend of mine told me that the usb actually can be used to network the cube
with a computer (to upload the bios).
So that's why I wonder how linux can make use of that.

As far I understand, this flash is a separate memory for user storage, not to
hold the bios, but I won't confirm anything just yet.

Ok, no problem at all. I think I'll be writing the howto myself then.
oh, just remembered... does the emulator runs from linux or it's a native game
cube binary that runs without linux ?
If it runs from linux, it would be nice to have a section on the gc-linux wiki
with information on how to run emulators on the gc. What you guys think?

TuiTo.

hi all, I bought the Viper Extreme modchip (still waiting to be shipped). I wonder if we can use the usb port it has as a bba-like to network the cube with linux (the usb is used to update the modchip bios). There's also a 16 mbit (2 MB) of flash memory that can be used to store stuff. Is it possible to upload the kernel to there and boot linux when the cube is started without a disk? That would be nice. TuiTo. |

Yes and no. WhineCube can boot the kernel, but only up to the point where it loads the first user-space program; the kernel panics then. If you can put your code that needs to be tested before that point, it'll run. However, emulators are rather simplistic at the moment, so you'll need to test your stuff on real hardware sooner or later. //Masken TuiTo wrote: > Hi > > Is there an emulator which can run the current version of the kernel? > > basicaly for testing purposes. |

Hi all, I'm trying to see if it is possible to hoop up a TFT LCD (from an old laptop) to the gamecube digital video output. The output seems to be reasonably compatible with the timing required for the TFT. What I have found in patent 6609977 (http://freepatentsonline.com/6609977.html, search for Example Video Interface) The digital output outputs Y, Cr, Y ,Cb data on a fixed rate of 27 MHz and the output format is selectable between NTSC, PAL, MPAL(?) and Debug (CCIR656). The 27MHz makes sense for about 640 pixels horizontally for interlaced video. TFT displays however require non-interlaced data. To avoid using a difficult conversion, it is nescessary to use a 54MHz pixel clock, which should be possible according to the patent: VI Clock Select Register (R/W) This register selects whether the VI will receive a 27 Mhz or a 54 Mhz clock. The 54 Mhz clock is used only with the progressive display modes. VICLKSEL 1 0 -27 Mhz video clk 0 1 -54 Mhz video clk Is it possible with the current gcnfb module to select other modes than PAL or NTSC? Or is there an other way to tweak around with the video registers? This interlaced/non-interlaced issue seems to be the only problem in interfacing TFT LCD's to the GC, since the timing is quite compatible on all other cases and interfacing should be a matter of a simple CPLD to split the data stream, extract sync data and convert it to RGB. Kind regards, Rob |

Sorry for a self reply; it occurred to me how annoying it can be when people brag about code they haven't released so I decided to let it out! Basically the attached patch adds a simply but highly optimised 3-tap FIR flicker filter. I have made it optional (based on an env. var.) since if you already have application level flicker filtering (or a clever TV) then it will just add extra blur.

You can force PAL video mode via the kernel command line. These are the possible settings: - "video=gcnfb:tv=PAL" for PAL - "video=gcnfb:tv=NTSC" for NTSC. - "video=gcnfb:tv=auto" for automatic sensing of video mode Cheers, Albert |

Hi Folks After the tragic demise of my Max Drive Pro hardware I have switched to using SDLoad to boot my 'cube rather than buy another one. Unfortunately this means that the Linux kernel is booting up with an 480i-60Hz display rather than 576i-50 which I had before. Is is possible to force the gc-linux kernel into PAL? I find that with my television the screen positioning is much better in PAL, particularly when running X11. -- Daniel Thompson (Merlin) <gc-...@re...> |
