Thanks! Well, here is a pic. of what it looks like after I did what dcx2 said to do.

It connects! and it can search and not break down! however there is an obvious problem with the picture that isn't fixed by resizing

Do you have X11? The Mono Web site says (for Mac) that you need X11 to run WinForms applications (which Gecko.NET uses).

[benny3t3]

Yeah, i'll try running the command through x11 instead of terminal.

I tried searching for issues with mono winforms on OS X... here's one thing I found. Try running this:

Code Select Expand

MONO_MWF_MAC_FORCE_X11=1 mono gecko-dotnet.exe

EDIT: Looks like that's a common issue on OS X, unfortunately. Stability of Winforms on OS X is much lower compared to Linux.

[benny3t3]

Well it works fine with that command!

Awesome! thank you! looks like it works!
:D I can make codes again!

[hawkeye2777]

Cool; I'll try and gather everything into one post for a "tutorial" type deal too.

[benny3t3]

One more thing, it will exit if there is an error, this includes searching for something that isn't applicable.
and ONLY USE THE ARROW KEYS for the code dissasembler to scroll. Using the mouse to scroll will cause things to start going bad... (it won't load correctly)
It flickers.

hmm... you may want to take a look at these...

One small thing first: you can put screenshots on a site like tinypic. It's easier to look at them on there.

Anyways, there's really nothing I can do about it. I'm pretty sure it's a Mono/Winforms implementation based problem, as I get some of those problems. I've also never used Gecko.NET on Windows, so I have no idea what it's supposed to do either.

Oddly though, I do not get any exceptions (usually) while running it... I'll try and run GDN with Mono 2.8 myself to see what's up.

[benny3t3]

I'll keep that in mind.

here is what WinterMute from USB Gecko said.

Oh dear, mono on OSX is a complete disaster - I investigated it a little while ago after someone requested mono/.NET tools in devkitARM and the only real way to get that working was for people to compile things from source. It's really not worth the grief to sort out.

Getting my macbook to recognise the usbgecko was a simple matter of installing the ftdi driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm , there's no need for libftdi, libusb or libusb-compat

Good news though, it is working now.

This is what I see in the directory with GDN in it

results.zip (inside is dumphistory1-3 zip files
dump80.bin

It worked almost perfectly two times in a row. The only flaws are that it won't load saves and it won't save undo data.

oh, right, the right button will eventually lose its functionality too. That isn't so bad. It isn't CONVINIENT, but it works!

Oh, and are the saved searches suppost to save as .zip files?

[dcx2]

When you save a search, you actually save the whole search history, every search from the first one up to the current one.  So yes, a saved search will be a zip file, and inside of it will be more zip files (one for each search you did).

[benny3t3]

hmm. Okay, good.

[hawkeye2777]

Is it the disassembly tab that doesn't work for you? Cause that doesn't work for me either. I didn't try breakpoints yet, but the other tabs worked okay (with some minor problems). Otherwise, it's the same deal for me it appears - buggy, but usable.

[benny3t3]

It was just everything, but like I said, it is working fine now,

Except for not saving undo data...

It just started working

[hawkeye2777]

Interesting: guess the bug I'm experiencing then might be on my end only.
