Agreed, not quite what I expected but a good book for the shelf. There are some interesting little bits in there I want to try when I get some free time.

Simple answer, nope :(. Not going to happen. VB.Net via Mono is a real possibility however (I have had Mono running on my Pandora board for some considerable time now but only really coded little test apps in C#).

MMC works just fine (in fact I boot my test images of a 1GB MMC card as it was all I had laying about) :D. SD's these days are about the same price as CF's on a like for like basis and it's a smaller more power friendly form factor. No overhead of ATAPI and the likes.

Just for the hell of it I moved over my Fallout 1 install to an SD and gave it a blast with DOSBox, about 6-7 mins to load and lets just say, you will die of boredom before the Master and the Super Mutants get you ;). I am not using the Pandora DOSBox that Pickle is working on, just a quick...

That is still being sorted out. But as an aside the Pandora machine files and basic kernel build details have been in Open Embedded's development GIT for a few days. As things settle then more and more of the recipes for our custom stuff will be pushed up there also. Tasks and image templates etc..

The whole lot will be in public GIT repositories come release (well unless we have stuff that touches on the closed source bits but we are working like mad to ensure any closed source bits are minimised as much as possible). Machine/kernel and the small number of device specific recipes will...

Space and kernel size are an issue but at the moment USB sound cards are supported by a module (and looking at the one that was connected to my Pandora they seem to work well enough). I can't foresee any reason the shipping firmware will not have USB audio modules.

For what it is worth the open Zaurus distro (OpenZaurus) morphed into Ångström and it's build system evolved into Open Embedded. We derive our current filesystem from Ångström with lots of custom Pandora buildrules and string the whole lot together with Open Embedded. Make of that whatever you...

Not sure what you mean by tested but it works well enough as it is. Not updated my build from our SVN head for some time but it was running from a blend of the GP2X and SDL backends (I grafted scaler support using some of my existing GP2X code as a basis). I have a few tweaks I want to do but...

I thought he was going to mooch off me for coffees :D, you both being local and all ;). I will personally be very glad to get a public Open2x firmware out of the door, the recent F200 work, SDL updates, touchscreen work and more make it a very appealing firmware (but I guess as one of the...

Sorry to put a dampener on this but you really should be aware of this before you sink to much time into the project. The MMSP2 SoC used in the GP2X can't use large block NAND to boot from the hardware bootloader only small block (i.e. low capacity older style NAND). The hardware bootloader is...

Nope, Common sense and rationality was last seen heading south for the winter. Why fragment an already small community. That's not helping anything. By all means split and diversify for reasons, growth, project etc. but then the communities about this site and its partners, IRC etc. have...

Ok, SDHC support. Yep. Use of the latest high class cards for data store, no problem. Getting the top stated speeds out of those cards at the moment. Not that likely right now (on the VAST majority of devices not just the Pandora, some of that even comes down to the OS stack) but the MMC/SD...

Wooo, I stop reading for a few days and the whole site attitude seems to go to hell in a handcart :o. Am I missing something or has the fanboy syndrome just got a tad out of control (even by this forums standards)? I don't totally get it, there are many devices out there and an ever increasing...

Git, I wanted the finest wines and I wanted them now. Damm you.

;), oh well, in the ‘spirit’ of the thread…. Size 13 (UK) - Pasta with some sautéed mushrooms drizzled in Truffle oil and some grated Parmesan, washed down with a glass of Pinot Noir. That's me screwed then :D. I was busy messing about with Wii Fit and Mario Cart. Anyway, just to minimise the...

These have all been around for ages ;). #PandoraDev on EfNet - General Dev Chat, mostly on topic. #Pandora on EfNet - General Chat on and off topic (not that I am ever in there so a guess). #OpenPandora on FreeNode - Official (I guess, I set it up ages ago) dev chan. Mostly for people...
