Yes, I can switch between tabs, but sometimes it won't load up right, and then it can quit, but only sometimes.

here is the locate libftdi

Cool, that was the output I was looking for. So libftdi is installed okay. Next up, create a file called 'gecko-dotnet.exe.config' (make sure it only has the .config extension) in the same directory as gecko-dotnet.exe. Edit it and add the following:

Code Select Expand

<configuration>
   <dllmap dll="ftdi" target="/opt/local/lib/libftdi.dylib" />
</configuration>

Hopefully, GDN will connect to the USB Gecko now. If not, try running as admin and see if that works.

*Actually, I just realized that build of GDN is compiled for an older version of Mono... might be the reason for stability issues. If it becomes a problem, I'll upgrade my Mono install and recompile.

[benny3t3]

Darn. It won't even load with the config file

and is there anyhting else that needs to be adjusted?
Sorry if this is a little off track.

[benny3t3]

I just got a driver from Ian at USBGecko.com

I'm kinda excited!

[benny3t3]

What can I do with these?
http://usbgecko.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/2/hacking-applicationscompatability-for-mac-os-x/#Item_7

[hawkeye2777]

Can't help you with the driver; guess I'm not used to needing them after using Linux so much. I'm just used to the kernel supporting my stuff out of the box.

For the config file thing, it might be an issue with the Mono version that I compiled GDN for. I might try and recompile it on Mono 2.8.x and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not sure how the OS X sudoers file is compared to the Linux one as far as differences are concerned, but you should only edit it using visudo. To fix this, see if this will help.

EDIT: Think I thought of another reason why the config file did not load: can you upload that config file for me? I'd like to take a look at it.

I always get this response from Wiird.

Just upload it to megaupload, etc. That should work fine.

[benny3t3]

Here you go!

hmm... it says it is temporarily unavaliable.. -has never used megaupload before.

Looks like my guess was right... you saved the file as a Rich Text file. It needs to be saved as Plain Text. That's why it would not load.

[benny3t3]

okay, I thought by getting rid of the rtf extention would do it... but I know better than that. -facepalm-
well, good news is I got my OWN computer back, admin and all.

So I can get to that much faster now. I do know how to save it as a plain text, I have done this before. I need to install macports and so on and so forth first.

[benny3t3]

Yes! It worked!!!...More or less!

It connects, it can pause/run games, but after a search it will quit and show this:

I am using Kirby's Epic Yarn (NTSC-U)

Oh, and the buttons are all overlapping eachother and it also quits when not connected to the usb gecko when I jump to different tabs sometimes... ( and when I am)

speed is pretty good though.

stability issue?

[dcx2]

Not a stability issue.  Ionic.Zip.Reduced is the library that's used to compress search results to provide search result histories.  You're missing it for some reason.

Find the file "Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll" and put it in the same directory as the Gecko.NET executable.

[hawkeye2777]

Whoops, that's an epic fail on my part: sorry. I'll upload a fixed tarball.

EDIT: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2I1BGILK

Concerning the buttons, you'll have to resize the window; the way Mono renders Winforms makes GDN need a larger window resolution.

And yeah, it does the same thing for me when clicking on the different tabs when I'm disconnected. It usually only happens on "Disassembly" for me though.
