i've read that autorun is not working on every ppc

I'm not sure what E800 is, but autorun works in a rather simple way. You
make a memory card formatted in a regular way (FAT) and create a directory
with a name set to CPU architecture. E.g. for ARM (including XScale) the
directory name is 2572
In that directory you place your executable and name it autorun.exe.
Keep in mind that when launched, the autorun.exe is first copied to a
temporary directory, so do not assume that the rest of the files on the
memory card are accessible via relative path references

for ARM (including XScale) the directory name is 2572

It's 2577

Yes, 2577. One would think it's not so hard to remember, especially after
completing a project involving an autorun application

And if yo usimply use /0 it works for all processors. Since PPCs are now
all ARM, this will work as well.
