There are dumps in MAME but these are the DVD images. Which need some adjustment before they can be read.There are dumps in mame.
What would be beneficial is a dump of the contents of the CF card.

Oh, I wasn't aware the images are in mame. I can do a glance at it later. I'm not Linus level expert but I have been working with Linux for over a decade now so should be able to write some stuff out.that's for the expert to find out....

Sorry, my bad. CF images are not in MAME.Oh, I wasn't aware the images are in mame. I can do a glance at it later. I'm not Linus level expert but I have been working with Linux for over a decade now so should be able to write some stuff out.that's for the expert to find out....

Yeah I just started looking into it, appears it's a dvd image from mame has to be installed to the CF. Probably not even worth looking at honestly, the install dvds for megatouch were pretty tough to navigate into what would be expected to be the actual running system due to portions of the userland being compressed inside the mounted images within the install dvd. It's easy enough to check though that I'll take a look later today.Sorry, my bad. CF images are not in MAME.Oh, I wasn't aware the images are in mame. I can do a glance at it later.

good news. Let us know what else you can find please.Yeah, I was able to find a set of decrypted cf images so I'm poking at them. It seems these were built against MontaVista 3.4.3. They are using kernel 2.6.10 on them and there is a kernel module for the lindberg baseboard named basbd.ko.
Everything appears to have been built against GCC 3.4
Uses OpenAL for Sound via ALSA
Like most linux games the entire thing is a window manager replacement for X11 and is launched via X11R6 xinit (xorg hates this)
This appears to be some weird workaround done by older X11 scripts as it is a binary being fed and xorg does not like trying to run it.
While you cannot verify exactly which libraries they're built against it appears this is mostly standard stuff.. GLU,GL, glut, Xmu, Xi, Xext,X11, etc.
There are two libraries custom-loaded libcri_soundoutput_lindbergh_jr.so and librnalindbergh_jr.so which seem to interact with ALSA in some fasion via OpenAL.
I can't go much deeper into this because time constraints and real world... crap But I'll poke at more dumps later and see what else there is.
if the MAME set has proper dumps you should be able to get those from archive.orgIt also doesn't help that a lot of the decrypted dumps I was using as a test don't appear to be properly dumped and are malformed images.
I think I already mentioned this but the CF drive is the master IDE device, and the HDD the slave device, at least for the multi.So how does a standard Lindbergh boot up ?
We know there is a PIC chip a BIOS, a CF card and an HDD.
Games came on DVDs.
On powerup the BIOS unlocks the CF-Card.
When the system loads a new game from the DVD-ROM is it written to the CF card and/or hard/disk ?
Anyone have the details ?
