I thought I'd post this here so that it had it's own thread:


The Pandora I purchase from Aris arrived today.


It has Hotfix 7 alpha 3 on it.


I've tried a few emulators and they all run fine but I have tried Super Geometry Dust and get the following error.


I've tried downloading the PND a couple of times and installed it via wifi on the Pandora and by putting the SD card into my PC and transferring it over but get the same error:


=======================================================================================


PND : /media/mmcblk0p1/pandora/menu/supergeometrydust.pnd


PND_FSTYPE : Squashfs


APPDATADIR : /media/mmcblk0p1/pandora/appdata/SuperGeometryDust-23703


APPDD_FSTYPE : vfat


PND_CPUSPEED : 600


EXENAME : run_game.sh


ARGUMENTS : <unset>


=======================================================================================

For these Union :

For these Union :


[ FAILED]--- Mount the PND ----------


=======================================================================================


Return code is : 6


I've deleted the data from the appdata folder but still no joy, I'm gutted as I really wanted to play this game.


Any help to resolve this would really be appreciated.


Many thanks


Ian

Run this from a terminal:


sudo rm -Rf /mnt/pnd/SuperGeometryDust-23703


sudo rm -Rf /mnt/utmp/SuperGeometryDust-23703


If you don't have the user account password, a reflash will also fix it.
 
As I'm new to the Pandora & it's OS can you explain what I'm doing.
 
The error log says the location where the PND system tried to mount the PND already exists, but later the error indicates that those "folders" are dangling symlinks (think of it like shortcuts that don't point anywhrere. rm is a command for deleting file/folders/symlinks, but since you are a normal user, you probably don't have permission to delete them. sudo gives you temporary super user rights (system administrator level), but it requires the password of the user account you're using. If you didn't get a password, you should reflash anyway so that you have full control over your system. For the reflashing process, click here. Latest firmware can be found at OpenPandora's official website.
 
Thank you.


The Pandora is on charge at the moment as soon as it's done I'll give it a go.
 
Run this from a terminal:


sudo rm -Rf /mnt/pnd/SuperGeometryDust-23703


sudo rm -Rf /mnt/utmp/SuperGeometryDust-23703


If you don't have the user account password, a reflash will also fix it.


That worked, thank you
