I've been messing with Ipod apps and I stumbled upon an app named WifiPad. It's basically a gamepad that you are able to customize by adding your own skins that can have more or less buttons. I've created my own skin, but I've run into a problem. I have to compile it using "AR" into a .gamepad file. This is kinda hard to explain so I'll quote it (Quote author is the link to the main page if you need more info):
Creating the .gamepad file
A .gamepad file is an archive of the gamepad.txt and png images. The standard AR format is used and thus, you can use the 'ar' tool on Mac OS X or Linux. A copy of AR for windows may be available in the MinGW distribution. To make the gamepad, use the commandline:
(MacOSX):
ar -Tr mygamepad.gamepad gamepad.txt image.png image1.png image2.png ...
Others:
ar -r mygamepad.gamepad gamepad.txt image.png image1.png image2.png ...
Notice that only historical ar format works. That means each filename can be at maximum 15 characters long. WifiPad does not understand long filenames!
I am unable to do it myself because I can't get MinGW working to save my life. I have no idea how to set it up and I don't have a Mac. Here is where you come in. I need someone with a Mac to compile it. If you can, PM me and I'll send you the files to compile. If you can't, I'd at least like some help on setting up MinGW so I can do it myself.
Thanks.
