OK, so I made a big long thread on all my questions at pocketheaven.com/boards. Cool place. Unfortunately, people seem to be sidestepping my pogoshell questions.
So, here they are, directly from that post in teh forum -
2) I've tried pogoshell, and was much too lazy to figure it out. Can someone tell me andantages? I know it will load NES roms, but so will the pocketnes converter. Besides that, text files, and images, what does this have over the simplicity of a simple menu listing roms?
4) In regards to pogoshell, if I DO start using it, based on any answers that might sway me in that direction, how would I go about creating different wallpaper images? I've tried creating and replacing 240x160 images, and I've tried converting them with Bimbo, but none of them will work. Also, will pogoshell play any type of music file? And is there a site actually explaining pogoshell indepth? I didn't see one at the pogoshell site, where I got the program from.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm trying out stuff with pogoshell right now. Someone else confirmed what I said about SRAM, so I figure I'll give it a shot. but I still need some information - How do I add roms, do I have to create a new pogoshell rom? I run the pogoshell xrom program, and flash that. But... what if I want to add something? how do I? or do I add the roms seperate from that, anyhow, and pogoshell will still recognize them, maybe? It's alot of waiting and testing, and if I'm missing some pogoshell tutorial somewhere that answers these questions, and my first ones regarding pogoshell, point me to it, that would be totally awesome.
Thats all from my posts at that forum. basically, tell me about pogoshell, or direct me to a link. AND NO THE POGOSHELL HOMEPAGE HAS NOTHING. I've checked a thousand times. it sucks.
Not to sound angry, but the obvious is not the answer. I'm having alot of trouble with this, and every pogoshell flash takes "971 seconds"... which is awhile. if I want to do it like 12 or 20 times for experimentation.
Bleck.
Thanks much, though.
