ROM Kitchen 1.0.0.10 Release Candidate 1 (Updated 3/8/2007)

[TheRocoLoco]

Yeah I flashed back to 1.2 PRE2 for the moment untill there is a reason for me to do more testing on this =).

It appears as though the .ROM folder and the .VM folders are missing from the OS folder in the kitchen for this release. That is probably why people are getting an error trying to cook with it.

Anyone trying to cook, please copy the .ROM and .VM folders from OS in the 3.5r2 into the OS folder for this release and see what happens.

Ok, after adding the .ROM and .VM folders to OS, I am now able to start the createos.exe. However, I am getting the following error when trying to cook:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Any ideas????

I'll investigate the disappearance of the .ROM and .VM folders, which confuses me because they should be there. It's entirely possible that my zip program refused to see them.

The .NET errors are due to the majority of the files being read-only. I'll address that in all future releases so that it doesn't happen again (including the one I'll be upping shortly to deal with these current issues).

Does anybody know what TheRocoLoco is hitting up against? I suppose it could be a possibility that the files being read-only carries over to the device...?

I'll toss another ROM and another ROM kitchen up to see whether that works better. I'll update this when they're both up, because it would be good if we could actually get something working.

The ROM is now available in this location instead:

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Project....0.8%20RC1.rar

I've changed it to be a .rar archive, and this time, the files should all be non-read-only (which will hopefully fix the really mysterious issues). Since it's password protected, the password is: unikitchenrc1

The kitchen is currently being uploaded to the dev FTP site. Similarly, it is now a .rar archive, all the files in it are non-read-only, and I've confirmed that the .ROM and .VM directories are in it. Uploading should complete in a little over 10 minutes.

Cool, Im glad it wasnt me.

I will try it today!

[jamesus]

Downloading now and cooking later!

[MrHappy]

Well that was fun. I am running this now and have found out a few things.

1. Hitting "favorites" within PIE causes File Explorer to pop up...
2. Tried to install an application via cab file and discovered that ANY cab I choose fails... Tried Cert_SPCS, Cert_SPCS.sa and several others.... No workie...

Sorry, I didnt see the post above. I am seeing all of those issues as well as the inability to install cab files.

[Sogarth]

Grr... very disappointing. I'm guessing I might have to give up my mostly-stable 3.3 installation, back up all my data, and then start reflashing ROMs again to try and figure out what's going on (I was personally kinda hoping to be able to hold off until this stabilized before going through the ROM cooking process again). That is, unless somebody else can figure out what might be going wrong?

[Sogarth]

First post updated.
