Igor Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 The ROM package should have all of the new updates. The individual ROM download links are also updated now too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drludos Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wonderful, thanks a lot Necrocia for all your hard work on running this competition! I'm downloading the final versions of the games right now, and I'll try to play them all in the upcoming days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 If you have the Lynx SD, use the provided loader. I put it together in a few hours so it's nothing fancy but I think it makes the experience better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 i have to grab the new package, last day or two have been super great for me with Lynx. I just got my Lynx 1 back from it's modding adventures (it's a LOOOOOONG story) but the good news is that it's McWilled and has VGA out. OMFG VGA out of a Lynx looks freakin' amazing and I already fired up a whole lot of Assembloids and Growing Ties on the big screen. Lynx is having the best birthday ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Igor, No luck, I've downloaded the 30th Rom pack twice, tried on two Micro SDs with two Lynx SDs on two Lynx models and get 'error loading rom'! I've tried copying the Lynx SD file over and have tried copying the contents over (as per the READ ME) still, no luck. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Did you try formatting the SD with SD Formatter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm @enthusi also had a problem with the Lynx SD loader, but that's because he copied the LynxSD folder over directly. You need to have the "30bday.lnx" file in the root of the SD card, then the "30bpc19" directory with all the ROMs also goes into the root of the SD card, so your directory structure should look like this... |--30bday.lnx |--30bpc19/ |--01.lnx |--02.lnx ...

Guitari Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Ok, thank you, I got it working by putting everything in the root...and there's no way it can go in a subfolder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 At the moment no, I'll have a look at what can be done, not sure if the Lynx SD API can tell the competition launcher the directory it's in, might need a new firmware for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordKraken Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) hmm the developer is kind of wrong on the inside world, but I never really check what lynxdir was putting as a header, so my fault edit : ok just discovered two option to set game and publisher name Edited September 19, 2019 by LordKraken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bhall408 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 In the current alpha we pull from the file header (so long as the magic constant field in the header is correct -- if that is null, we figure we can't trust the other fields). Longer term we're moving to a database of meta-data, which will be more flexible/powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that my code generates the LNX header correctly, but there's no "NG" manufacturter on your screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that my code generates the LNX header correctly, but there's no "NG" manufacturter on your screenshot. The only difference I can see in your header is that instead of having a null terminated fixed size string for your fields, you set all the unused chars of the header to null values (0), while using the template of karry they are set to a white space (0x20). But technically your header should be fine; using spaces is useful to developers creating the header from a text file for counting if they are using the right number of chars.
