[Gc-linux-devel] Other Questions

[Mike B. <be...@il...>]

I am getting ready to order PSO and a broadband adapter.  I also downloaded=
 the PSOLoader and read the instructions.  My first question is--Does the=
 PSOLoader have to be run from a Dos prompt?  Who should I talk to about=
 learning about porting linux?  Where can I go, or what should I do to learn=
 about this kind of stuff?

If you are looking to port stuff to linux, I would
suggest having a decent knowledge of ansi C and c++,
maybe some ASM knowledge as well. You should also
check out maybe "Understanding the Linux Kernel" by
O'Reilly.

I have a question not directly related to development...

Does the "region" of the broadband adapter have to match the region of 
the GameCube? How about memory cards, are they region locked?

I am pretty sure they are not region locked. It wouldn't make any sense.

Yea, they're not locked, but you can't have more than one region of data on 
a card (i.e. mixing data from Japanese and American games one card). 
Apparently they use different formatting/file indexing procedures such that 
they're not intercompatible.  Along these lines, I'm not sure but I guess 
you couldn't load a saved game from one region's disc to another.

This is not correct. I have saves from both japanese, US and PAL games 
on one single original Nintendo 251 memory card. I've had no problems 
with this whatsoever, using freeloader.

Interesting... maybe the 251 has a different format?

In my experiences, anytime I save a foreign game on a
memory card it formats the card and wipes all domestic
data
