openbor has problems, but...

It seems that people who use it are not quite interested on getting them solved...

I saw someone telling about his problems on a forum, but he didn't try to contact me.
I saw someone telling about his problems as a comment on the archive download page, but he didn't contact me.

Only one person has tried to contact me, and his message was: "Hi there could you fix openbor please because when I load a openbor mod It just stays on a blackscreen all time on my gp2x". No more info. I don't know if he has only tried one mod... I don't know if he can open a bor (not openbor) mod with openbor (not bor), I don't know what is the openbor output (running it remotely with a cable or starting it from sterm).

Anyway, the comment on the download page says: "I cannot get openbor to work", a completely useless comment... I will of course do NOTHING about it.

The one posting on a forum, was using an unofficial firmware (and he didn't event have the possility to select a mod), so it's probably because of the firmware. I'll wait until he tells ME something about his problems (if it is possible, trying it with the official firmware).

About the person who sent me the mail... please give me some more data. At least, which firmware are you using (the problem cannot be the same as the other because you enter the mod selection screen and are able to select a mod, right?) and try to give me the output. Send me an e-mail if u don't know how to do it.

So, resuming:
one person has one problem using an unnoficial firmware: use the official one until the port is more advanced.
one person cannot run the program without giving any kind of additional information: read the readme (perhaps you don't have a pak file?) and change the batteries of your gp2x :-P

one person has one real and strange problem and as contacted me: please give me some needed data, I want to solve your problem, but I need data because it works ok for me.

  • you mean that you have this problem both with openbor.gpe and with bor.gpe?

    Please contact me then, it seems you are the first person who has problems with the original bor.

  • I also have problem with the last version of BOR.
    No matter the mod I use (official one, or other...), when I run openbor.gpe, my GP2X stays on a black screen.
    I have the 1.4 official firmware.
    I'll try with the usb cable, using a shell.
