    Gles2D, An Opengl(Es) Cross Platform 2D Library

    Virtualization? dual booting? i seriously dont know whats wrong with all of these windows users, linux is free, free to access and use.

    opengl es 2.0, sdl, and python

    opengl es 2.0, sdl, and python

    thats all very interesting, ill check it out when i get home... but im still not clear on one subject: is ES just a stripped down version of ogl, as in i can write code for ES then use it for ogl(without any further rewrite). or do equivalent functions have different names, or behave differently...

    Apt Repositories For Pandora

    Yepp thats a problem. But what about this solution: You insert the SD (with db) and do the firmware update. I now assume that the old files get overwritten ON THE NAND and the db on the SD is updated. Drawback: you have to do the firmware update which each SD card. This should work as long as...
