You may already know that several crazy people modified RS-MMC slot in 770 and hacked inside full SD card or mini/micro SD card adapter. For such people there is now kernel which supports SDHC cards so storage above 4GB is now possible with 770. For more details see http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#sdhc and ITT thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=106244#post106244

As you may already know, there is unfixed critical bug in all OS2006 firmwares causing random memory corruption during WLAN use. Symptoms may be random application or system crashes, corrupted data in RAM or files and even reboot loop if you are extremely unlucky.

All Nokia 770 users are advised to check it and consider installing this bugfix for better device stability.

Lets hope there are no other bugs added and this fix is really effective ;-)

Anyone wants to test new feature - usb network recovery mode? Get it from http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.beta.tgz

Currently it is enabled for 770 only since I don't have N800 initfs uclibc toolchain ready. N800 version will be added later.

Now there are 2 more questions when preparing initfs image:

install telnet server for network recovery? (yes/no)
install dropbear ssh server for advanced network recovery? (yes/no)


Telnet has no password and runs /bin/sh directly.

Dropbear has usual root password and scp should work too. If you have dropbear already installed in roots then server rsa and dss keys will be copied to initfs too, otherwise keys will be generated on each boot (quite slow).

Both are optional. You can install one or both of them. Default IP address is 192.168.10.1. You can change it via USB_IP variable in bootmenu.conf

When in boot menu press Home key (the one with house :-) and then connect USB cable. For exiting this mode remove cable and pres Esc (the one with circular arrow :-)

For USB networking setup instructions see:

Windows XP, 2000
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/usbnetworkingwinxp/ (just download and install the .inf file)
Linux
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_usb_networking_bora.html
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/2-x/howto_usb_networking.html

Let me know here if you have some suggestions. I guess for advanced recovery it would be useful to have GNU tar, mtd-utils and maybe also 0xFFFF flasher in the initfs too. Also this mode can be used as poor man's console, you can mount rootfs by hand, chroot to it and boot it from the shell.

now there is also 0.10.0 version on http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#scummvm

for new features check http://www.scummvm.org/?shownews=20070620.xml or NEWS file here

maemo specific port changes:
- right button keybinding added to Touche engine (center keypad button)
- enabled FLAC (mainly for DXA compressed Broken Sword cutscenes with FLAC audio available on ScummVM site)

Due to new engines the executable size is now ~5MB so if you don't want to use new engines it may be better to stay with older scummvm versions as there are not many changes for older engines. Maybe newer version has more bloat and may be even slower. At least it seems that sound in Simon now stutters a lot. I think in older versions it was better.

AGI engine is also enabled (as requested by someone in ITT forum) but I didn't try any game so I don't know how usable it is without real keyboard.
