get gngeo to work
 

i dont really know anything about the terminal and when i try to execute gngeo through xmaeme it just stays put non of the other emulators seem to start up either...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

i have a n800 with os2008 and i download xmaeme via application manager

Re: get gngeo to work
 

do a search on this forum, for xgngeo......
also do a google search for xgngeo maemo video.

I would provide you with links but, feeling a little bit lazy...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

i am a total newb i dont know what that code you put in the command line to execute the program. i have xgngeo installed (the 1-25-08 one so i dont have to do that terminal stuff) but when i click on it it just wont do anything it just as if i didnt press on it.

Re: get gngeo to work
 

ok i got it up but i cant save the important path configuration could you explain this? please it keeps saying no bios.. what is a bios?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

check the gaming forum, there is a gngeo thread. I had the same problem

Re: get gngeo to work
 

kingka i looked at the thread.. .i found the bios zip file i unzipped it i put it in media/mmc1/roms/neogeo/bios and i typed up media/mmc1/roms/neogeo/bios but it still has the red dot and NO BIOS where it says bios files location any help?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

p.s. the negeo zip file when unzipped should have 4 files neo-geo.rom, ng-lo.rom, ng-sfix.rom, ng-sm1.rom right??

Re: get gngeo to work
 

the latest version of xgngeo, I thought fix the problem with having to chmod from the command line.
it doesn't.
so you need xterminal, and you have to run the commands.


apt-get install nano = maybe needed if you are a total newb.

start XTerminal

sudo gainroot
mkdir /home/user/.xgngeo
nano /home/user/.xgngeo/xgngeo.conf
control+o
control+x
chown user:users /home/user/.xgngeo
chown user:users /home/user/.xgngeo/xgngeo.conf

if you follow those steps, you should have it running in no time

Re: get gngeo to work
 

im sorry .. its not working... is it only me that expierences it wont let me even get out of important path configuration.... GAHHhhh.. your video like completely skips this....

Re: get gngeo to work
 

is there nothing where i can just download it and it would have gui and stuff and just upload the rom and play?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

gah.. tis still reading no bios... maybe i download the 1-24 update on accedent...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

is there no neo geo emulator that will run straight of xmaeme?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

i have this screen but the the first one says no bios but it has the same thing typed in...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

Re: get gngeo to work
 

also if i do this gngeo wakuwak7 --sound --biospath=/media/mmc1/play/neogeo/ do i put the name of the game without the jue[!].zip or with it?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

Sonic the Hedgehog - Pocket Adventure (JUE) [!].zip is the file name

Re: get gngeo to work
 

gngeo --sound --rompath=/media/mmc2/gngeo/roms --biospath=/media/mmc2/gngeo/bios <-- is this the command i need? if it is where do i put the name of the rom?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

can i not launch it from xmaeme... it just pretends i didnt click execute.. idk if the roms incompatible or the bios location is messed up and xgngeo wont even let me get past important pathway... command line gives me uknown romsets....

Re: get gngeo to work
 

lol, thats a neo geo pocket game.
it won't work with neo geo the system but only neo geo handheld.

Re: get gngeo to work
 

gngeo --sound --rompath=/media/mmc2/gngeo/roms --biospath=/media/mmc2/gngeo/bios Game.zip
should work.

now if the game name has spaces...
for instance like Sonic the Hedgehog - Pocket Adventure (JUE) [!].zip

add the game name inside "Sonic the Hedgehog - Pocket Adventure (JUE) [!].zip" QUOTES.....

if you read instructions really well the emu should work.
google would solve all your problems.
stop with i'm a newb and just do some research.
I have 2 tutorials on this, that work really well, and the other thread on this people use really well.

and yes you are the first case, kinga also had issues for a while but after a while figured it out.
follow the tutorials.

Re: get gngeo to work
 

ive tried really ive been doing research... but like ur videos glimpse over the biospath and the code i cant read of the video..

Re: get gngeo to work
 

it doesn't matter where you place the bios or anything.
Thats the beauty of xgngeo, it allows for choice.

What i think is happening.
is that when you configure it, it is not saving.
because you are not doing the required chmod steps.

Re: get gngeo to work
 

unkown or unsupported romset... it gives me... and on the forum u said pm u for the website for the roms.. i did.. and gosh darn... but when i take the game out and just put everything else it gives me a bunch of control options...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

o ok ill try that again but when i do that it starts giving me error or something h/o let me try it again

Re: get gngeo to work
 

where do i type apt-getinstall nano before or after the sudo gainroot?

Re: get gngeo to work
 

p.s. i am decent at programing java... if that helps any.. i recognized some reserved words in the code it spat back at me...

Re: get gngeo to work
 

IM me. pick your choice......

unique311,

Nice app bro.
Need a little help though.
I've got everything in place but am stuck.
Below is a screenshot of where I'm at.
I installed XGngeo and all components but I'm stuck on last part of this menu on n800 with os2008. I installed your apps and gngeo v.7 , xgngeo v.16-2 and the current bios. Am I missing any library's or dependencies?Any tips or tricks or ideas to get me up and running? Thanks, Dan

Re: get gngeo to work
 

you have to download gngeo through app manager

Re: get gngeo to work
 

you need to point it to your gngeo installation.
but it should've picked it up.
but gngeo should be located in /usr/bin/

the only dependency is python2.5-runtime

Re: get gngeo to work
 

rohail1234 & unique311,

Thanks guys. I got past the entry screen after pointing to right directory. Now I'm stuck at the rom loading screen below. What am I missing or where should rom drivers be. I thought if I made it past the previous entry screen I should be good to go. I have reviewed these threads and your video several times but still can't figure how to load these rom drivers.
Any additional help, tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. All the games look awesome. Thanks, Dan
