Getting issues with 1.04 WVGA
On startup I get an error message saying:
Window title: Basic4ppc
An error occurred on sub __main_app_start.
An error occurred retrieving the registry key. Continue?
Yes/No
If I click yes and then tell it to load Windows, it works fine.
If I click yes and try to load Android, I get another error message:
Window title: Basic4ppc
An error occurred on sub __androidexistcheck.
An error occurred retrieving the registry key. Continue?
Yes/No
From there I get no further. Android definately runs, and HaRET is on the root of my storage card...
Can someone explain how to fix the "Android is missing" error in simple terms? I am having this problem on my TP and Diamond, too.
I had this problem too.Dear Lord, why doesn't anything works as it should, like it used to be???
I'm also having this problem, and here's what I found:
1- (of course) I have a working haret.exe on the root of Internal Storage
2- Installed Gen.Y VGA to the internal memory (NOT the Internal Storage): check registry, entries are there;
3- run Gen.Y, click Android, it boots Android
4- After reboot, the dreaded "An error occurred retrieving the registry key" error appears: click cancel, go to the registry, entries are not there!! wth?!!?
5- manually create entries, reboot, still the same friggin' error: go to the registry, entries are still NOT there!! wtf?!!?
So there is the friggin' problem: why are the registry entries dissapearing? And YES, i've red almost all of this giant thread. geez..
Make the registry entry and restart windows to apply it. It seems a side-effect of running haret is that the recent keys are not saved. It's odd, but that was the problem.
Registry
Gen.Y DualBOOT checks for 5 registry keys, which allow some form of customiation. Apart from the last key (StorageBootMode), all keys can be modified utilizing the radio & check buttons in the GUI. All of these keys can be found in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
Here's quick list describing what the keys are for
- "AutoBootEnabled"=dword:1 (1: enable autoboot | 0: disable autoboot)
- "FastBootEnabled"=dword:0 (1: enable fastboot | 0: disable fastboot)
- "AutoBootAndroid"=dword:1 (1: boot Android | 0: boot Windows)
- "StorageBootMode"=dword:0 (1: boot from Storage Card (SDMemory) | 0: boot from Internal Storage (moviNAND))
- v1.0.6.0 and newer: "AndroidBootFolder"="string" ("": boot from root of storage (e.g. \Storage Card\haret.exe)| "andboot": boot from \Storage Card\Andboot\haret.exe, string can be edited in registry)
- v1.0.5.0 and older: "AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)
The example values are the ones that are in the CAB for Internal Storage devices.
v1.0.6.0
- Added flexible android boot folder option
> Set boot folder by entering the desired folder string to the "AndroidBootFolder" key in the registry
v1.0.5.0

When you are running from the Andboot folder on the Storage card, do the following at the Registry location shown on the first page of this thread:Can someone explain how to fix the "Android is missing" error in simple terms? I am having this problem on my TP and Diamond, too.
