Bennu on Caanoo

BlackCurtain · November 13, 2010, 02:35:26 PM

Hey, it's me again :P

I just got a quick question. Seeing as the Caanoo version of Bennu seems pretty officiall and all, I was wondering if there are any guides on how to set it up for your Caanoo? Compiling a .gpe file, tips and tricks, getting the joystick buttons to work, and all that. I found it strange not to find anything at all about it.

It's similar to Wiz, use the joy.lib to mapping the buttons, a similar script .gpe, but with one more thumb (background of the selected game at menu).
Download a Bennu game for Caanoo and take a look to the file structure.

Good idea, I didn't think about that.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't realize that *.gpe files were just simple sh-scripts. That clears some stuff up.

Has it come to anyone's attention that the latest version of the Caanoo port doesn't respond to joystick inputs?

you must remove old libSDL.so from runtime folder

Oh I see. Thanks :) Are there any update notices available somewhere? So that one knows what to update and such..

SplinterGU · December 05, 2010, 04:44:06 PM

no, sorry... maybe you want do a svn log in my svn...

Sorry for bumping this old topic, but my problem is related.
I've downloaded the latest Caanoo version to test with my new game, but for some reason I can't get past the Caanoo Loading screen and the game runs without a single error on my PC. My old Bennu applications runs fine though ??? Am I missing something?

have you try with another version of bennu runtime ?
It's a commercial game ? I say it because if you put te game here i can try it on my Caanoo

Yes, it works fine on an older version. The 2nd or 3rd to latest I think (haven't version labeled the folders).

I emailed it to you. Don't want to post full source code out in public.

your game works perfectly with the last bennugd version.

I only change 4 things:

- I delete my bgd-runtime folder on caanoo and I replace it with last release
- Save .ini and .gpe as UNIX file
- I remove comment lines in ini
- I rename game folder exactly as ini name... you must use same name and letter case...

the game is very nice at this moment... and works fine.

What do you mean as UNIX file?
I'll have to check this tomorrow. It's really late here.

this file are saves like DOS format (in DOS each line end with line feed + carry return, in UNIX each line end with line feed)
