Since its possible to install linux on you ipod. Is it possible to install byond onto it and run it threw You ipod connected to your windows computer at school? Just curious.
| |
No, you cheesecake, he's asking if you could install BYOND over the top of the linux on the iPod.
Probably, but what'd be the point? You probably wouldn't be able to play games over the internet on it, and have you seen Linux BYOND? How would you move 'round n stuff? | |

BYOND for Linux is not compatible with any CPU other than x86 architecture. That means it won't run on any other version of Linux, including iPod Linux, Linux PPC, etc. Won't work.

Yeah yeah I know, I have seen it.
What I was pointing out was the fact that it would be difficult to use on an iPod - even if it was identical to the windows version - because the format of the iPod is so different to that of a PC. The 'how would you move round n stuff' was directed at the lack of a distinct "north south east west" system on the iPod. | |
Easily, push up , down, left or right on the D-pad you can bring up. :P

won't matter anyway since, as Mike pointed out (and has pointed out many times in the past), BYOND does not work on anything other than x86 architecture for Linux-based BYOND (aside from the special build for MacOS X).
and before someone throws it out, I'm am pretty sure it won't work for Windows CE devices either, at this point. | |

.> Meh What I'm wanting to do is make it so I can run byond dream maker from my Ipod while it connected to the school computer. I didn't know if it was possible or not but I have a computer class that I finish my work in 10 minutes and have an hour and 20 minutes free. Figured I could code and save it to my ipod and be able to go home and test it or test it here, | |
Does your class use windows or linux? You could just install Windows BYOND to a flash drive and run it from that.
Heck in my school each student had a gig of free space, and it worked almost like a P2P network. I had BYOND and a number of roms running off my student profile. That is until the Computer Admin found out, and told me I was hacking and if I kept it up "he would take my ass to court". Then he formatted my student profile along with my all homework and restricted access to my account. :( | |
A gig? We have like, 4 megs. :p I just used to install things the IT dept. would find useful to the ICT shared area (like the firefox install.exe, with instructions on how to use it (yeah =/)), until they stopped people writing to the "write shared area".

Short answer: You can install it on that pc, but you can't boot it from your ipod.
