Hello

I have a Caanoo which works well (mostly). Firmware v1.6.0; Linux 2.6.24 r162

I am trying to get Ginge to load up some games which should work on the Caanoo. But Ginge just returns back to the menu when I select the gpe file.

I see videos online with them running on the Caanoo. And, I am downloading the packages from the Caanoo section of dl.openhandhelds.org.So why don't they work for me?

Some of the Ginge games from the Ginge packs work. But not all of them.

Which config files can I tweak to get them to behave?

Here are a couple of examples of ones that don't work:

Asteroids:

(Downloaded from the Shooters Ginge pack http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/caanoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,30,781)

Descent 1:

(with some files from my old CD)

I noticed that some of the games are certified for v.1.6.1 of the firmware. I thought about applying the update. But the comments at openhandhelds.org scared me away. What is the consensus? Is this firmware patch worth the risk?

Thanks in advance.
Happy Gaming!
