I finally caved in, RTFM (and this board) and installed the excellent empeg-preinit-v3 and wished I'd done it sooner, I now have emptriv and empacman on my Hijack menu, OH YES

I do have a slight problem though, running emptriv removes empacman from Hijack's menu and I need to reboot to get it back again.

Here are my serial logs:

Vcb: 0x4054d000

Run emptriv 1st time
hijack: removed menu entry: "emptriv"
hijack: removed menu entry: "empacman"
failed EMPEG_HIJACK_BINDBUTTONS: Device or resource busy

Quit emptriv
waitmenu...

Run emptriv 2nd time
hijack: removed menu entry: "emptriv"

Quit emptriv
waitmenu...

In /etc/preinit.d i have 2 files:
1. M10empacman
---> #!/bin/sh
---> /drive0/empacman

2. M15emptriv
---> #!/bin/sh
---> cd /drive0/emptriv
---> ./emptriv

Edit: Changing the order of empacman/emptriv (M15emptriv & M20empacman) doesn't make any difference. Additionally, both games work fine standalone with no errors reported from Hijack.

Can anyone shed any light on what's going wrong here please?
