The fact that the "- Loader 2 AutoExec" appears meaning you've added an "autoexec=" part to your loader.cfg, i.e. you've been messing with your loader.cfg file. Try re-copying it over.

Either that or you have an old loader.cfg file that is conflicting with the current one in hda2/boot. Make sure the one in /boot is the only config file you have (i.e. remove old ones from previous installations).

hey keripo could you give me an example of how to boot igpsp form zeroslackr (i mean the text line needed to work) it has the folowing path

\mnt\igpsp\igpSP, ive tried, doesnt seem to work, or should i try with a shell script?, thank u in advance, by the way zeroslakr is a very good installer im looking foward for the next release

Do you mean you want to launch /igpsp/igpSP in Windows?

Then you should use
iLaunch @ (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/hda2 rootfstype=vfat rw autoexec=/mnt/iLaunch/iLaunch
Or use iPLGotta, which supports ZeroSlackr as addon.

i installed and it worked great, but how do i work igpSP, i select fast launch, and it just repeats the numbers and letters in red(the scrolling down ones) and it goes on forever, what do i do?

rasenman, please read the documentation I wrote in the loader.cfg file and on the igpSP wiki page. You also need to make sure you have a legit 'gba_bios.bin' - don't ask where to get it. If you're willing to wait a while, I'll be releasing igpSP 0.9-2Xb K3 in a few days along with a ZeroSlackr Pack for it. Also please do not post the same thing in multiple places.

igpSP 0.9-2xb K3 ZeroSlackr Pack.
Please keep in mind that igpSP requires a lot of free memory and thus it is highly unlikely that you will be able to run it from ZeroLauncher without removing Slackr packs (which you can do by either removing the pack folders in /ZeroSlackr/opt or editing the ZeroLauncher Launch.sh file to not load packs in certain categories). It is recommended that you instead use Loader2's autoexec to execute igpSP (see the /boot/loader.cfg documentation in the comments).

Note that this will be the only additional pack for the ZeroSlackr stable snapshot pre-releases due to popular demand. Other packs I won't make available til beta testing.

I am having trouble making GBA launch from the loader 2. Here is my Cofig file.

# If you have do not haveRockbox installed, comment out

# If you have iPodLinux also previously installed through
# Installer 2 or through a manual, partitioned install,
# uncomment the "iPodLinux" line.
#
# To pass an argument to execute during startup,
# add "autoexec='your arguments here' " parameter
# to the end of the line. You may include spaces
# in your "autoexec=" line but make sure
# "autoexec=blah" is the last parameter on the line
# For example: (this is all one line)

# root=/dev/hda2 rootfstype=vfat rw quiet
# autoexec=/opt/Media/XMP/XMP /opt/Media/XMP/Mods/a-depres.xm
# If you want to execute multiple lines, create a
# script file instead and call the script file.
# For other kernel parameters, see the file
# "kernel parameters.txt" in docs/kernel/

Ok, Now what is wrong with the GBA line? Should I remove the ".sh"? Is the disk number wrong?

Also, when I booted to apple OS I got
"
Launching Apple OS
Jmp to 10000
"
The first time, but it has not done that again.

When I removed the ".sh" I got a file unknown when trying to load from loader 2, but it recognized the file size.

Just look at the sample autoexec provided:

Code:

Podzilla2-SVN @ (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/hda2 rootfstype=vfat rw quiet autoexec=/opt/Zillae/Podzilla2-SVN/Launch/Launch.sh

Duplicate that line, change "Podzilla2-SVN" to whatever you want and change what comes after the "autoexec=". Exactly as my comments in the "# Documentation" section says.

The "Jmp to 10000" is debugging infor that automatically gets printed if your first loading attempt in a reboot screws up.

On a side note, I've added over-clocking to 81MHz (from default 75MHz) to my K4 build (unreleased) and it offers quite a significant speed boost (from 1 min 40 sec to 1 min 32 sec) without much consequences (my iPod only started to feel slightly warm against my cheek after about 20 minutes of running FFTA animations). After some code cleanup, adding backlight and changing how scaling works I'll possibly release a K4 build (or be lazy such that you have to compile K4 yourself from the ZeroSlackr SVN Wink

).

Also please keep iPLGotta comments in the iPLGotta thread and ZS posts in the ZS thread only.

Yeah... igpSP.zip is a pack for ZeroSlackr, not for iPLGotta(though igpSP binary can be put on /mnt/igpSP/).

No it can't. The binary is modified to use hardcoded ZeroSlackr paths. As with all binaries used by ZeroSlackr.
Binaries that I release separate from ZeroSlackr however (i.e. in the igpSP K# thread) can be used outside ZS as they do not have their paths modified.
