Excale suggests that the config file value contains {CX_program,[touchpad_program,[clickpad_program]]}.
Ah, is that valid syntax currently?

Hmm, I also wonder how I'll handle file associations for gbc4nspire, which has 3 different versions with different program names (gbc4click, gbc4touch, gbc4cx)

You could also give the same name to the 3 versions, and put them in your archive in subfolders .

I think it would be easier than having to give updated config files for 3 different models. (as for now, those config files have to come with Ndless, and in theory with all programs which would require an additional line)

Alternatively, I could make a single executable that works on all 3 models (which would be the 3 programs appended together with hardware checks to select which binary to run). As long as nobody minds the tripled program size, that is.

Supporting the "cx,touch,click" syntax isn't much work for me anyway.

Hm, much like Mac OS X does with their Universal binaries. Interesting idea.

It's really not too hard since gbc4nspire (like all other Ndless programs) can be run from anywhere in memory, so each of the binaries will have no idea that the other ones have also been loaded :P

Aren't the other versions made by patching the original Clickpad version? Should be much smaller to just have the Clickpad version + patches + code to apply patches at startup.

nDoom has just been updated with file associations! :)
You'll need to manually add the "ext.wad=ndoom" line to your "ndless.cfg.tns" file for now.

What about following the installation procedure described in the documentation of Ndless ? ;)

That meaning that I can safely overwrite the ndless_resources.tns file on my calc and install the OS on top of my current Ndless OS, right?
EDIT: Nevermind already figured it out(not thanks to you though) you have to uninstall first then reinstall.
