Game Shark Media Player
Finally I should have this Game Shark Media Player working under Linux. What a mess this was. Great product but the idea of requiring someone to have X installed on a Linux box in order to set it up was just silly. The few options involved in setup could have been driven from the command line instead of the Java Swing class.
Basically, here's how you install without X windows on your machine and you have access to another Windows (WinTel) box.
First, install the Xwindows server of cygwin. Is distributed under GPL. It's got a great simple network setup simple enough for even the dumbest windows user.
Second, load up cygwin on you WinTel box and type
startx
That will get your xwindows session going. Once your in X and you have xterm running just SSH over to the Linux box.
ssh mylogin@myipaddress
Once logged in, set your display to your IP address
DISPLAY=000.000.000.000:0.0
The :0.0 is very important to have after the IP address.
From there you can run the ./jinstall.bin for GSMP and it should work just fine.
I really hope they fix this in future versions as it was a pain the ass to setup the first time.
