    Heat Spreader Performance and Overclocking

    Hi all :) @EvilDragon : isn't there anything we could do to lower the temperature inside the Pyra ? Mine feels really warm to the touch at the moment, and its not a pleasing sensation... Cheers, Magic Sam

    Hi all :) Thanks @sebt3 for updating your package, really appreciated ! What's the performance like on your end ? I edited the config file to display the FPS counter in-game, and it varies from ~10 to 15... Cheers, Magic Sam

    What we learned and did during the last 6 months

    Hi all :) Regarding Debian, is Debian 11 support already in the works ? I successfully installed Debian 11 RC 1 on my new laptop some weeks ago, and we're only ~160 bugs left before a proper release: https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ Cheers, Magic Sam

    What we learned and did during the last 6 months

    Hi @EvilDragon :) Could you please shed some light on what "our OS" is ? So far I fail to see how Debian, Letux + Pyra customizations all fit together. Cheers, Magic Sam

    Heat Spreader Performance and Overclocking

    Hi all :) My Pyra can get quite "warm" to the touch after a little while, even when idle. To get some hard facts I just went ahead and installed mate-sensors-applet. I'm only displaying the values of two sensors: "temp1" and "temp ambient". Currently they read 22°C and 45°C, respectively...

    Wally's Testing Thread

    Hi all :) @Wally : I just compiled a simple SDL1.2 game on the Pyra, waiting for your instructions to package it properly as a DBP ;) What do you mean by "sandboxing" in this context ? Cheers, Magic Sam

    Release Hostile Takeover

    Hi all :) @ptitSeb : I just noticed your Hostile Takeover package does write stuff to ~/.hostile-takeover on the internal storage. The appdata/ptitSeb_ht directory is empty. Is this a bug ? Cheers, Magic Sam

    Wally's Testing Thread

    Hi all ! @ouzle : thanks for reminding me of this thread from 2015, it's really helpful :) If I understand correctly, binaries go inside application_name/gamedata, right ? In the case of a simple UNIX application, I'd run ./configure --prefix=/path/to/application_name/gamedata to install...

    Wally's Testing Thread

    Hi all ! @Wally : you're welcome :) Could you please explain how you are making those DBPs ? At the moment I'm trying to understand how it works based on the scripts @TrashyMG posted in another thread, but there are still some things I don't understand. By comparing your two methods I may get...

    FAQ Suggestions

    Hi all :) I second @matzesu first question regarding charging: how to properly charge the Pyra's battery ? What kind of cable do you need ? How long does it take to get fully charged ? How long does a fully charged battery last under "average use" ? Cheers, Magic Sam

    Release Streets of Rage Remake

    Hi all :) @TrashyMG : thanks for sharing your DBP scripts ! If I understand correctly, a DBP is roughly similar to a PND. It's a "simple" SquashFS with some meta.zip archive (containing an *.desktop file and a PNG icon) appended to it, plus a Bash script launching the application, right ...

    Open Tyrian

    Hi all :) I just installed @ouzle SDL1.2 package and the game is indeed fullscreen now, but it doesn't scale yet (the game area is quite small and centered and there's a lot of empty black space around it). I also turned the gamepad off using pyrainputctl, and it did fix the issue with the...

    Release Simsu

    Hi all :) @Eight Bit : yeah sorry about that... Simsu itself is a small binary, but the Qt libraries add a lot of weight to the package... Cheers, Magic Sam
