GNUGoS60 v0.1 for S60 2nd FP2 released

I just uploaded a v0.1 package for S60 2nd FP2 phones now.


I found that the reason it didn't work on them before was because there is a bug in the firmware for all phones based on that release that means ECompXL doesn't work at all. Staffan Ulfberg (of EEMame) had wrote in a forum about a similar problem, and mentioned he had a workaround, so I emailed him for the solution, and he kindly responded with help.

It now launches on 6680, but honestly I think anybody installing it is going to be disappointed, because you get out of memory so easily. Even after 1 move or something. I have read that 6630, 6680 and 6681 have even lower memory than 2.0 or FP1 devices like 6600 or 7610, which get out of memory too, but after 10-20 moves.

Anyway, the game is basically unplayable on those devices I would say.

Cool, the program now starts on my 6630, but it runs out of memory before drawing the board. I have 5788 kbytes free at maximum, only GnuGo being installed on the phone. Anyhow this is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Thx!
