I'm in the process of porting Anki to Pandora. I'm a very heavy Anki user studying Japanese (30 new cards/day, 300-400 reps/day) so I really want this on Pandora. I'll post a PND when it's ready.

Ordered: September 30, 2008 at 15:43 UTC Queue: 350-450 Shipped: August 4, 2010 Method: Air Mail to USA Delivered: August 10, 2010

You're going to get a lot of jaded responses from this community regarding dates. I placed my initial order on September 30, 2008 - The first day pre-orders opened, though my order was not early on that day - and my Pandora was just shipped last week. This is after a year and a half of...

JFFS2 might be worth looking into. It's read-write and also log-structured (helps minimize writes that can wear out flash .. though I believe SDCards have built-in wear leveling these days). Compression is available using zlib, rubin and rtime. Support is built into the kernel via a compile...

Bashing the ISP is not constructive to the thread. AOL is capable of sending and receiving email just fine. Edit: Looks like I've been beaten to the punch.

Is Cave Story for GP2X available in the original Japanese? Edit: Answering my own question. Poked around the files included with the available English GP2X version. The data files are stored in data.cramfs which can be mounted. It contains the .txc and .pbm files from the English...

Way to vote for all the options at once, RoboShmup

Guys, the drama and name-calling needs to stop. Let me be the first to apologize. "misinformation" is too strong a word. Paulguy doesn't have any malicious intent as that word implies. I'll try to be more polite in the future. It's not accurate to call paulguy a "computer joe." I don't...

In most circumstances you won't need to recompile the kernel, you'd just need the module, which is a separate file that grants the kernel additional capabilities when it's loaded. The only thing is that you won't be able to do is boot off of a Btrfs-formatted SDCard. There's a workaround hack...

You're right. BTRFS version 0.17 and above supports transparent gzip compression, but if you want to use it, the kernel needs support for it. This looks like it would not be difficult, though. Checking the Angstrom repository you can see kernel modules present for omap3evm and beagleboard in...

It's not a matter of trying hard enough. Without Valve's blessing in the form of a port or released source code, running Half-Life on the Pandora is impossible. And even if it were possible, distributing the reverse-engineered engine would be illegal.

Do you have any examples to back this up? I've never heard of padding data that doesn't compress. Trimming can't hurt, though. A Gzip file adds a 10-byte header and an 8-byte footer to the deflate-compressed data. ZIP, another deflate-compressed format, uses 30-byte headers, a bit more if...

In your dreams. I'm 350-450 and haven't gotten an email yet.

A new Windows for ARM, Windows Phone 7, is releasing soon. It requires a 1Ghz ARM processor, though.

Unless you need the money now, you should keep the order and ebay it when it arrives, make a quick buck.

Perl? you can use system() or exec() to do shell commands.

I'll post some pics of the new stick soon, but for now you can look at my previous attempts (pic 1 - a mod of this, pic 2 - custom) and one of my college friends' hilarious custom cardboard-box stick (pic 1, pic 2, pic 3). One of my other college friends used a tupperware bin to make a custom...

I've also been avoiding playing all my retro game systems since 2008. In fact, I've gamed very little in 2010 (even recent games that can't be emulated) and instead concentrated on my other hobbies of photography, music (I play the clarinet), and hardware tinkering (I custom-built an arcade...

350-450, still no email.

"Non-snes guys"? You mean, those who haven't played the games? At least try to be subtle with your piracy.
