maemo.org - Talk - Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo

Your 3D engine sounds interesting, any plans on releasing it with an editor for user developed games / levels.
Ask as I'm learning 3D modelling, so would be interested in developing stuff within a Maemo/N900 engine, as well as importing my own assets/models (when I'm a bit furthur down the learning curve !).

Well my initial idea was to have a graphic level editor, but it's a huge amount of extra work so at least the first versions will come without one. That said, you shouldn't have any problem creating your own levels with custom models if you feel comfortable enough editing XML files.
In order to create a full working game, you would need some C++ skills as well.

This is the latest version of Picodrive for Diablo users. The ZIP contains the CLI executable and a sample configuration file.

Ah buggers.

Code:

[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]/home/user/.picodrive/picodrive -o /home/user/.picodrive/picodrive.ini /media/mmc1/Minnesota.bin Reading config file /home/user/.picodrive/picodrive.ini

entering init()

Error creating pipeline: Caught signal 11, exiting...

This is the error given without changing anything from the default configuration file.

Once you have your bios files:
-Put them on the N900 root folder via PC suite.
-Open an XTerminal on your N900 and type:

mkdir /home/user/.picodrive/bios
mv MyDocs/<your_bios_file> /home/user/.picodrive/bios

(replacing <your_bios_file> with your bios file name. This last command must be executed once for each bios file you have. You can hit "Tab" while typing the file name and the shell will autocomplete the file name for you. This way you can be sure you're doing everything right.)
