Hello! I'm having a problem running GC-Linux. I couldn't find the right place to post this. There isn't a forum for it, so I'm posting it here. I apologize. Whenever I run GC-Linux, the screen turns green, mixed with pink and yellow, and black. It just freezes and stays like that. I'm using a U.S. Gamecube and a U.S. Broadband Adapter, and I am on Mac OS X 10.3.2, using PSOLoad. I'm excited about this project, and I can't wait to see KDE work. Would it be possible at all for the developers to release some sort of tool kit so we could port existing programs to GC-Linux? And I was thinking... how would we be able to have a virtual hard drive for it? Would it be possible to somehow insert our own files into the .dol file, or compile it ourselves so we can insert our own files into it? That would be neat. :) Arigato! -Totakeke |

Someone else can probably elaborate on this further. > I'm excited about this project, and I can't wait to see KDE work. > Would it be possible at all for the developers to release some sort of > tool kit so we could port existing programs to GC-Linux?

KDE? on 24MB ram? dont think so. Unless of course you mean use the GC as a X Terminal for a machine running KDE. Even then, X over 10MB with 16/24bpp is kinda painful, you'd have to use TightVNC, LBX, or something else to get decent speeds. > Arigato! > -Totakeke -DCG |

As soon as we have a swap driver for ARAM, we would have ~ 40 MB. I don't think native KDE is impossible. Just not too fast. Gnome should be better. > Even then, X over 10MB with 16/24bpp is kinda painful, you'd have to > use TightVNC, LBX, or something else to get decent speeds. I don't agree. I have been working with X over a 10 MBit connection for a long time. Using the GIMP is no good idea, but everything else is fine. Just don't use themes that use too many colours. Michael |

Please ask someone in the CVS to compile a kernel with gamecube-console (tmbinc's old code) instead of the framebuffer, and you should see some output - then we see where it hangs. > I'm excited about this project, and I can't wait to see KDE work. > Would it be possible at all for the developers to release some sort of > tool kit so we could port existing programs to GC-Linux?

But we only have 24 MB or RAM, plus possibly 16 MB of swap = 40 MB of RAM. Michael |

I'm wondering what you're all of your settings are for getting this to work? I've tried it with PSOLoad v1.1 on OS X 10.3.2 and can't get it past receiving a query to PSOLoad. The GC times out after this. If you could kind of give me some hints on how you got it at least to the point you did, I would appreciate it.
