HOW TO UPDATE from SunOL v0.1alpha :
To update SunOL v0.1alpha you have to delete the "/data/SunOL/skin/" folder, the "/data/SunOL/SunOL.ini" file and the "/data/SunOL/dat.dat" file.
After that, extract the archive on the root of your card overwriting already existing files on the "/data/SunOL/" folder.

The download link is broken... I figured out that it's http://sundev.olympe-network.com/SunOL/releases/SunOL_20-08-08.zip but you might want to fix it for other people. 

[Derak]

Doesn't work. It says "can't find sunol.ini file" so i tried to use .ini from previous version and... - few red screens with errors showed up and program still doesn't work. Does anybody know how to make it working? I tested it on NDSTT, AK RPG and R4 with the same results.

[SunDEV]

Thanks Jeremysir, fixed.

@Derak: have you simply extract the archive on the root of your memory card, overwriting the previous files of the 0.1alpha ?
It should work.
Have you DLDI patched the nds file (if your linker isn't DLDI autopatch) ?

All of my cards are DLDI autopatch and I extract all files to the root of my card. Previous version worked without any problem, now it says this:

{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.method.default='.
then
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.order.reverse='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.keys.WaitFirstTime.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.keys.WaitNext.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.keys.WaitEnd.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.txts.WaitFirstTime.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.txts.WaitNext.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'SL.T.txts.WaitEnd.vbls='.
{GetOneBUF}Can't find 'S.windows.onset_speed='.
{ReadPARAMS}Could no open file: "/data/SunOL/skin/40!?/skin.ini.

I extracted everything to the root... and it repeats telling me about not sein a SunOL.ini file...

I think you forgot to add that in the zip file...   

[SunDEV]

Oh, yes i'm very sorry !!! 
I've forgotten the file SunOL.ini !!!

I'm making a new archive.

edit : done !!
I must apologize for the trouble caused...

[pasc]

how about letting the program autocreate the ini if not found ?

I tried to update the dat since the program said I should... sadly I then got a guru meditaiton error  m

now it works like a charm... however, like with all homebrew.. they don't like my new internet router connection... and always stop downloading after some seconds... so I won'T be able to fully use this *sigh*.

EDIT: onlinemode works like a charm too ! great. my only complaint would be:

the keyboard is a bit small, but still, you got my vote 

Good luck in the Compo SunDEV, hope your hard work pays off !

Yes, why not
I'll consider your ask for the next version.

Yes it can append sometimes while connecting to wifi, it's a bug in the dswifi library. (I'm trying to correct it and send a patch to Stephen Stairs)

now it works like a charm... however, like with all homebrew.. they don't like my new internet router connection... and always stop downloading after some seconds... so I won'T be able to fully use this *sigh*.

What are the specs of your internet router connection ?

EDIT: onlinemode works like a charm too ! great.

The keyboard is fully modifiable in the "/data/SunOL/skin/ubuntu_en/" folder (the two files kbd.ini and kbd.png), you can make it bigger
(I'll propose on our website some differents skins and differents keyboards.)

Good luck in the Compo SunDEV, hope your hard work pays off !

Thanks a lot

WoW, very good 

[Derak]

Thanks, now it works perfectly on all my flash cards!

[smealum]

The interface is very well done, and the fact that you can customize it via a very robust skinning system is a huge plus. Also, downloading icons, boxarts and screenshots via wifi works great. I hope you win.

[SunDEV]

Thanks smealum

As said here, due to the lack of beta-testers SunOL can contains some bugs.
I started a list here, you can post others bugs (without any registration)

Thanks in advance
