nice. I think the best virtual keyboard so far is the frodo keyboard. maybe we can do something like that.

hmm the gp2x bluetooth upgrade is cheaper than the keyboard
but could you get any bluetooth keyboard working then?
ok those small pda ones are still expensive but you can get normal pc keyboards for arround 15€ at ebay

Hi. Here is a simple terminal emulator for gp2x, sterm.

Oh my god this is by far the BEST software that has been released for the GP2X!!! Now, if only someone could merge EasyWrite with it... (hint hint)

help | more

You can also use help | less, this should let you scroll both ways.


Thanks for this jochang... I've been writing shell scripts to dump dir listings to check out the filesystem. And yes they seem to have left in an awful lot of networking stuff and other crap.

there is not "less" on the gp2sx

o_O! I forgot about piping commands! How stupid of me.

EDIT:
I tried dumping all the files from nand to the sd, but none would copy over

#/bin/sh
cd /
cp -f /bin/* /mnt/sd/nix/bin/
cp -f /etc/* /mnt/sd/nix/etc/
cp -f /lib/* /mnt/sd/nix/lib/
cp -f /proc/* /mnt/sd/nix/proc/
cp -f /sbin/* /mnt/sd/nix/sbin/
cp -f /usr/* /mnt/sd/nix/usr/
cp -f /dev/* /mnt/sd/nix/dev/
cp -f /home/* /mnt/sd/nix/home/
cp -f /root/* /mnt/sd/nix/root/
cp -f /tmp/* /mnt/sd/nix/tmp/
cp -f /var/* /mnt/sd/nix/var/
cd /usr/gp2x
./gp2xmenu

That was my file... I also tried *.*, but with no sucess.

Cool. This will be handy for running my gdb build on the GP2X. I couldn't get it cross debugging so I've been writing scripts on the PC, sending them to the GP2X and piping the output somewhere!

I think you should add -R (for Recursive)

[gleng]

Oh gods, this is fantastic. I can't wait to get home and play with this.

Two words: NetHack Port!

[slygamer]

Is it possible to format the SD card using this? Do the binaries exist in the NAND for formatting a drive?

[Sonic-NKT]

if you install everything on the nand which is needed (i dont think its installed yet) you should be able to do this.
