It has nothing to do with the firmware and ususally it doesn't happen, I am on FW 1.0.6 and I don't experience such a massive battery drain when I turn on my Caanoo after a few days. From what you describe, it is a faulty unit.

From my experience, 1.0.6 is still the fastest firmware.

3 hours with constant 700 MHz? Seems pretty normal.

Interesting, I didn't knew this, I always thought, they run with a fixed frequency, but you are right, even in Windows XP, I can change the refresh rate of my TFT and the info panel shows then the new refresh rate.

The refresh rate on a TFT display can't be compared to a refresh rate on a CRT Monitor, because it is generated in a completely different way. On a CRT, the picture is generated by a beam, that "paints" it a certain ammount of times on the screen, on a TFT every pixel of the display can change...

But keep in mind, that Outrun won't run especially good, unless you turn the sound of. The Caanoo isn't fast enough for a fullspeed emulation with sound, even with frameskip set to auto, the game don't get fullspeed.

Which is exactly the way to damage the Lithium Polymer battery in your Caanoo. While NiCd and NiMH batteries had a memory effect which reduced the charging capacity, if you recharge the battery, before it is fully empty (e.g. recharging at 20% remaining capacity let to a battery with 80% overall...

Great work Zx, many thanks. Any chance, that you can have a look in "Buck Rogers", it always crashes, when you fire and it was one of the best games on the system.

@u9i You are right, I have no numbers, and you have no numbers on how many Caanoos are WiFi enabled with a stick, I would say it's 5%. Why? A feeling, that browsing on this board and reading the posts gave me. Do you have another indicator, apart from your equally subjective poll? The poll now...

Sorry to hear that qbertaddict.

As it was a software issue, clearly related to dmenu in Dingux, my guess is, it is also a problem of a specific program and not of the Caanoo itself.

Didn't had any problems so far, if you encounter a broken fat32 filesystem, it's often not necessary to format the card, if you are on Windows, go to the command prompt and run chkdsk with the following parameters: chkdsk [Letter of sd card]: /x /f /r In most cases this will repair the card. I...

Simply overlooked the post, sorry, thanks for the "friendly" hint. And besides "Bubble Symphony" is never called "Bubble Symphony: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2", cause the only game the comes with the Tagline "The Story of Bubble Bobble 2" is "Rainbow Islands" plus "Bubble Memories" is not...

Can you tell me why? Or do you have any benchmarks? It's not, that I don't believe you, but from what you say, the CPU hungry applications on the Pandora would be much faster on the Caanoo when run at the same clockspeed, which is not, what I can see from the posted Youtube videos of Pandora...

Apart from the higher clock speed, in which extend do you think is the Cortex A8 processor used in the Pandora faster then the one used in the Caanoo/Wiz? I think the implemented PowerVR is indeed faster, then the Caanoos (at least it has more features like OpenGL 2.0 or DX10), but the CPU seems...

I would prefer the Caanoo for ScummVM, simply, because the screen is bigger, which makes using the touchscreen more easy.

Thanks for the update Zx and thanks for the overlay Gab, great work.

1. Copy a PND file to the card. is actually far easier than 1. Extracting a zip file to the card. Mind to tell me why? I don't see any difference here, in terms of complexity. I can't imagine, that you are overextended by double clicking the archinve and drag and drop it's contents to your...

@Topor So, basically you are saying a Caanoo isn't a Pandora, yeah, right, but then again, the Caanoo can be bought, the Pandora not. This is the real difference. The Pandora is a nice idea, but not a nice product and first of all, it isn't even profitable for the people who make and sell it...

@ Topor First, most people don't want to play homebrew roms on their emulators, that can be downloaded via the net, they want to play the old roms, that can't be downloaded legally. And second, you are talking about a web based installation service, that runs on the Caanoo, this program should...
