Updated to Linux Mint 12 and that updated script worked wonders!

[doctorxyz]

I'm glad that these updated scripts has been useful for you ;-)

doctorxyz, I tested your updated scripts on ubuntu 12.04. ps2packer failed to build for me, as it counldn't find "libucl.a"(multi-arch support screwing things up again?).
I got it to work with the following change to "install-ps2packer.sh"

15     sudo sed 's/$(LIBZA)/-lz/g' /usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer/Makefile >$HOME/Makefile
16     sudo rm /usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer/Makefile
17  -  sudo mv $HOME/Makefile /usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer/Makefile
17  +  sudo sed 's/$(LIBUCLA)/-lucl/g' $HOME/Makefile >/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer/Makefile
18  +  sudo rm $HOME/Makefile

Does anyone have a better logo screen to compile that will show the revision number? It's nice to know what revision I am loading when it starts up so I don't have to try and remember what I currently am using and what my fallback revision is.

PDN file for anyone who wants it along with my hac-job logo.

Rather than making a new image every time you update,you can add(if you can compile OPL) that info in the About menu
In include\usbld.h line 34
#define USBLD_VERSION "put whatever you want here"

This info is shown in the About menu

I even remove the logo...it makes more space(+62kb)and it stays way too long before it completely disappear.

To be honest, I don't understand the scripts/source or how they work, so changing them is out of the question. And I like to have the splash screen show it cause that's when I am likely to catch what version of the elf it is. Plus, despite there being a change to the revision, it still says that its 0.8 in the about screen.

Its not that big a deal to change the layer that has the "r.641" in it, that's why I included the PDN file so anyone could change it as needed. Or they could just erase the layers to make other stuff instead of my crappy oval.

Edit
I made the change that you suggested, but I am still keeping the splash screen. It's just faster and easier to catch the splash screen.

Lmfao 62kb???? what exactly are you achieving by freeing up 62kb of space? Logo stays for me sometimes too, I press 'X', it goes away. No need to free up that large amount of KB space to take away that beautiful logo.

[mgh]

On small memory card every free kb is important and the smaller the elf,the faster it load
I can make saves on 3 games for those 62kb

And pressing X doesn't make the logo go away,it make it like in pause mode while your are in the menus and continues with the fade out when you exit the menu

What's needed for running these new scripts? I keep getting an error:

I did just run "sudo apt-get install git", so I hope that was the missing piece, but is there anything else that is needed to be able to start from scratch?
