So I am trying to flash my cartridge using virtualbox running linux (ubuntu). I compiled the code from the following website:

http://lacklustre.net/projects/ems-flasher/

However although when I type into terminal "sudo lsusb" the cartridge shows up, when I run any of the compiled executables to do something it says it can't find the cartridge. Are there drivers I need to install? I'm pretty confused it seems like everything is in place and it still can't seem to notice the cartridge.

Here is a terminal shot of the issue.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

have you tried running the software as superuser?

if sudo lsusb shows it up perhaps is a permission issue.

Or maybe changing the permissions  (chmod 777) over the ttyl1,

or whatever name the system gives to the plugged cart. Good luck!

I am not particularly versed in unix commands so just to be sure you mean to try typing "chmod 777 ems-flasher" then running "./ems-flasher --mycommand"?

I have tried that and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

you can check the permission with ls -l on the file folder.

anyways have you tried

sudo su (to login as superuser)

and then run the program?

sudo ./ems-flasher --title

should work for you.
