Greetings everyone. I've been trying to get glkpogo to work on my R4 for several days now but have come up completely empty.

As for glkpogo, the readme file states...

When you start an interpreter you are presented with a file requester.
Use UP and DOWN and A to select files. You can also edit the filename
directly. When the right file is selected, hit START to load that game.


Exactly what type of file(s) is it specifically looking for and where should that file(s) be located at within the glkpogo folder?

When I start the program on my DS, at the top of the screen it shows "game.dat". I can move the cursor left and right and type any text, but pressing up and down does nothing.

I've typed the name of the .z5 or .dat game I'm hoping to load up within the glkpogo folder but I just get a critical error and the program crashes. I must be missing something really simple but I just can't seem to problem solve my troubles.

Is there anyone with a huge brain that can help me out on this?
Has anyone even been able to get this to work on an R4 using Windows XP?

Thanks. :o)

You know, I wouldn't mind putting the DS Linux version of Frotz on my R4 if that's a better application.

The thing is, I don't have a clue on the first step to do that either.

I really could use some helpful advice if someone's got the free time to help a poor fellow out. :o)

I want answers and I want them now!!!!! I want them immediately!!!!!





















Okay, that might have been a little too dramatic, but still, is there anyone who knows how to run Glkpogo using an R4 cartridge?

I would love it if someone could shoot me out a straight answer.

Thanks. :o)
