Your popup keyboard should be white with black letters/digits. When I go to the settings for the saved pages folder, I can choose where to save and just click select. It's very difficult to assist you further on this as I can't see your specific setup. The best I can do now is to make my full configuration available for download ie. my .microemulator folder in /root. So, if you are really intent on pursuing this further I can do that for you. Let me know.

Okay, attached the configuration for a "clean" setup. Unzip and replace your .microemulator folder in /root with this folder (rename it to .microemulator). The only thing you will probably need to change at first is the location of the root directory in the config2.xml file ( ie. the partition for your downloads, this one is set to /mnt/sda1). Do this before you run the application. You will also probably need to change the screen size. Run microemulator and start the browser and click maximize in the taskbar, close microemulator and restart it.

confusing, no place to resize, one
macroemulator file became two, in root,
of differing sizes, when i started operamini.
so thanks for yr help, and patience.

I have the folder, and have followed the instructions as best I could.

On both ASUS and Sony the HTML page with the phone image and those little tests work.

But I cannot find that "attached script" you are supposed to download anywhere here or in the folder. So I cannot get the browser working.

Where is that script?

Gus, if you can transpose the example here, you're in!

But I do not get that- just the HTML page; I never get that image with FILE and such options.

I am new to all of this, I'm afraid.

I dwnldd to /tmp, unpacked, then went into the resulting microemulator-2.0.4 folder.

From here simply rt-clk an empty area and "Window" >> "Terminal Here."

Now:

Code: Select all

java -jar ./microemulator.jar ./apps/opera-mini-8.0.35158-advanced-en.jar
And you're IN!

What are you struggling with?

You're running 5.2.5. Is Java loaded?

Will that work with Puppy Linux 5.2.5?

I'd like that script spoken of, though.

Yes. The SFS file is in place. That HTML page, which needs the SFS file, does work- I just don't know about that "downloaded script" you are supposed to run, unless that command window code you showed is what it does.

So long as Java is loaded and this is dwnldd to /tmp, my code'll work.

But then, maybe Pup's cmd shell isn't so easy to copy'n paste?

If so, grab LXTerminal or Sakura with 525's pkg manager.

Copy'n paste there's a breeze..

I think this is the script your are asking for:

Code: Select all

java -cp /microemulator-2.0.4/lib/microemu-jsr-75.jar:/microemulator-2.0.4/microemulator.jar org.microemu.app.Main --impl org.microemu.cldc.file.Filesystem org.microemu.examples.fcview.FCViewMIDlet /microemulator-2.0.4/apps/opera-mini-8.0.35158-advanced-en.jad

Hello,

thank you for this emulator, I loved it.

I made an sfs which works well with Precise. Of course, it needs Java, and you may need to resize it.

But so far it works. I made a thread about it on the french forum. They may also be interested.

Ciaozinho,

The sfs is among the other pets or sfs on my drive. Or direct link

Hi, it would be nice if you could post the general instructions as in my first post, in French in the French section. :)

Hi Dorothée

Could you login to the puppy forum using precise? (I cannot)

If yes, which version of JRE did you install?

Thanks for the sfs file.

Great news- using that command window line (the shorter one!) Opera Mini 8 does work on the old Sony VAIO (2001) in Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid mode.

If there's a problem it's with images. Trying full screen mode does not work; the vertical always reduces so the images are merely colored squares. Putting it in 640 x 480 mode does the trick, strangely enough 800 x 600 does not.

It's still a work in progress, of course- if there was a simple file to click to get the works running instead of having to type it in each time that would be nice, and I'll have to figure out how to make the window larger, but today the old Sony can browse reasonably safely now.

Thanks to everyone here.

:wink:
