snes9x is written in C++, and Ndless doesn't yet support proper program relocation - which is one of the prerequisites to such basic C++ features as vtables (see http://blog.tangrs.id.au/?p=719 for more detailed technical information).
I know that ExtendeD has worked on integrating tangrs' bFLT loader into Ndless, I don't know what the current state of that work is.

Ah ok. Sorry again if the question was stupid, I didn't know anything about that snes emulator. Thanks for answering me with a lot of details :)

Great work Tangrs! I assume it will be possible to have a Debian rootfs with an X-server?
Will try when I get some time.

Already working on it :)

Great! :)

Two questions:
What is the build login for. I just enter root and it works but are there other locations we can login to as well?
Does it matter what cmdline you set?

* for logging in with a password / with other users, you'd have to create entries in /etc/passwd, passwords in /etc/shadow, and such things :)
* if you're talking about the cmdline passed to the kernel, it does indeed matter.

I see, so what does the cmdline do?
Also found out how to get the | key so ls | less can be used :D shift + flag does the trick (flag is in the lower right corner, below the ?! button) Scrolling can be done with b and f and exiting with q (sorry if someone else already found this, I thought it could be useful)

The keymap can be found in the source code at arch/arm/mach-nspire/nspire.c at around line 197. Match it up with the touchpad keymap found on the hackspire.

Btw, Doc is PgUp, Menu is PgDown. Hold shift while pressing them to scroll in the framebuffer.

Took some time to write them all out in a text file :) It can be found in the attachment or here. Please notify when something is wrong :)

Have you considered trying to use one of the Nspire emulators to get it running on the non-CX's?

Right now it can't run Linux because of some emulation issues.

Just wondering, how to you get video to work?

I didn’t do anything about the rootfs because I didn’t know where I needed to change that. (also I don’t really know what it means by “your usb device”)

Many different things happen when I try many different things. If I boot with linuxloader2, wait for it to get to the login request, and then put my flash drive in the dongle, it just spews out that the cache failed
If I put the flash drive in immediately after running bootloader in linuxloader2, it seems to register it, I think, but when I run mplayer, it outputs –sh mplayer: not found.
Then it outputs some error about the flashdrive, with /64

Whenever I do it the normal way by just running the bootloader_usb.ll2.tns file, depending when I put the flash drive in, it displayes different things, but it always, ALWAYS, results in it kind of freezing with the last text being (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24)

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Are you sure you're using the USB host kernel? And did you image the rootfs onto the USB drive?

No, I’m using everything in the snapshot download, and the most recent initrd, and I was able to get the keyboard working, but I never did
1. Prepare your rootfs. Get a USB drive that you don't mind completely erasing. In my config, I didn't have a partition table. I just ran dd if=rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/X (replace X with your USB device).
And my dongle has 4 usb ports, with my calc connected to the mini usb port, using the cord meant for calc to calc transfers, if that makes any difference.
And I don't think I imaged the rootfs onto the USB drive.
Could you make a tutorial?

Also, do you have a usb to headphone jack?
Because I notice in the video it says nosound, so would it be easily possible to get sound on the nspire?
Because it would be awesome to watch videos with sound and listen to music on an nspire.

This is some of the output when I plug flash drive

For Linux/Mac/BSD/*nix, it's basically just using dd. Something like sudo dd if=rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/sdX (replace sdX with your USB device - make sure you get it right or else say bye bye to your data)

Unfortunately, I haven't used Windows for a while so I don't know what they use for drive imaging.

This Project should do the job, or something similar.

I still think that it would be more worthwhile to port an ARM-specific SNES emulator than it would Snes9x. It would probably be easier, too. Dr. PocketSNES, for instance, ran most games at 100% on the GP2x, and might do even better sans sound.
