He's running 10.1. I'd be surprised if there's a modern version of SDL that compiles against that OS. He's also a clueless eejit with a low computer literacy level. Am i toast, then? Anyone got any free copies of later OSX?? :wink: - No, as far as I can see you have to pay for OS X ;-) I would be v...

The shift to the left exists because GC-Linux ignores our x-axis settings from our GameCube dashboards. Every GC-Linux app has this problem if your TV isn't a monitor-like modern one. I guess you mean an LCD TV? Do you know if there's any way to fix the shift?? I have the additional problem, that m...

Can I just ask, I'm using this on a PAL Gamecube and the screen is shifted to the left, with a small amount cut off. Does anyone else have this problem? It's not a major problem but every now and then some of the speech text is missing on MI. I've tried tinkering with the screen offset in the Gamecu...

Hi, I've detected the saving problem, I will fix it and release the new package tonight. As for the usage of a miniDVD, I am having trouble finding a miniDVD that my GameCube can read reliably, as soon as I get one I will be able to add this to the release. Best Regards, Rodolfo Excellent, thank yo...

Just a bog standard PAL Gamecube, I'll try it on my NTSC Cube when I get a few secs.

Rodo has just emailed me the latest update to his superb SCUMMVM port for the GameCube/Wii 8) I have good news regarding ScummVM for GC. I have implemented some control changes allowing the user to input enter (for Simon) and the number 0 (for Monkey Island 2). I have added fine cursor control with...

Re: thanks so much! --- Almost have it --- but the graphics

hey Jim thanks a lot for your help ... (':D') it worked, and went straight into the game... Glad you got it working ... but it had graphics issues as soon as it started up. the images looked like they were repeated, very distorted. Not heard of this happening before, it seems to work fine graphical...

Thanks for offering help, criezy, but unfortunately, I'm still using a PowerPC Mac. I've made some progress with Fink, which all of a sudden started downloading packages. Looks like I'll be using a custom build of ScummVM soon! Yay! Good!! A few months ago I built a CVS/SVN version virtually every ...

Thanks for your reply, Jimbob! I can't download anything. My proxy address is proxy.tel***n.com and the port is 3128. I've put the following line in the fink.conf file: ProxyHTTP: http://proxy.tel***n.com:3128 Is there anything else I should do? To be honest, I haven't got a...

Well for starters, does Fink work with any other packages that you want to install?? If it doesn't then you haven't set Fink up correctly to use your proxy server. All Fink does is compile and install the package for you, quickly and easily. So, check what version of SDL is on Fink, then download th...

This may be the problem ... not sure if G5 chips even existed when Escape was released ... still, big thanks for the patches. i'll try them out just as soon as i remember where i...
