Great that a one-nubber got the second one working :)

Almost every part of this post is incorrect. -It's not on-topic. This thread is about filesystems, not files. -Trimming has nothing to do with lossless compression. It's removal of padding. These ISOs are the size of the discs because they were ripped straight from the discs, and that's...

Great to hear. I'm 350-450 and confirmed Sep 30, 2008 at 10:46 AM EST. Haven't gotten my shipment email yet but our orders are only 12 minutes apart, so it should be soon, very soon :)

I'd be surprised if it weren't available for ARM. I know OpenWRT uses it (It's a linux distro for routers), and those routers use MIPS chips. Personally, would I use it? Well, it really depends on what the apps support. If DOSBox or the eventual PSX emulator support compressed (probably...

Off topic: It's absolutely hilarious how the forum syntax highlighted your readme. On topic: This is awesome. But is it practical? And do you think vim is the right editor for Pandora? Don't get me wrong, I *LOVE* using vim and it's more than doubled my productivity at work (Where I'm...

I can answer your SquashFS questions. It's read-only because it was only designed to decompress at the fs level and to be fixed size , not to compress more data while it's live (I believe the filesystem targets embedded systems with limited storage and no need for persistence). The initial...

GUYS. UG is a pirate site. You know better than that.

For a read-only compressed filesystem, the choice is obvious: Use SquashFS. If you want a read-write compressed filesystem, it's a bit trickier. You may want to look into JFFS2 or fusecompress, but it seems that the performance drop is quite costly. Most of the time where you want to use...

I don't have my Pandora yet, so I don't know how easy it is to configure the bootloader, or failing that, initrd scripts, to mount the root filesystem from somewhere other than the NAND. Is it possible to just copy the NAND contents to the SDCard preserving permissions, and configure the...

Very cool. I did something similar on Linux where I used just a USB key to boot from. Everything was encrypted and basically read-only, but it didn't act that way because I used unionfs (a similar filesystrem to aufs) and tmpfs. It worked like a livecd in that no data that was changed while...

Looks like it would be very awkward and top-heavy to hold. Clamshell really is the best form factor for Pandora and similar devices with a full set of controls. PSP form factor works if you don't have a keyboard (also game boy advance/micro).

Why not write some kind of ncurses app that loads on boot that lets you select which daemons to run? Select only what you need, then continue the boot. Any apps that need those daemons won't work, but that's not what it's for. Sounds simple enough to me. I may take a crack at it once my...

Disclaimer: I'm a software developer. I make my living writing proprietary commercial software targeting Windows. I haven't written anything for this project. Those who have may see things differently. Craig hit the nail on the head with this quote. The attitude of the users is one of the...

I checked, and got the response just a few days ago that my position is 350-450. No shipping confirmation email yet, and even after that I'll be waiting on air mail to deliver to the USA. I won't wait nearly as long as many others will, though

Qualcomm is completely absent from this announcement.

Couldn't there be a shutdown/startup script that saves the nub calibration data then restores it next boot? Something similar to how ALSA stores its mixer levels.

Has anyone tried Megarace or Lode Runner: The Legend Returns yet? If not, I will when my Pandora arrives (queue position 350-450 from gbax, airmail to USA) EDIT Processor Req for Megarace: 386 / 33 MHz Processor Req for LR:TLR: 25 Mhz LR:TLR also had a PSX port if it won't run in dosbox ...

N900 and Pandora are very similar, hardware wise. Also encouraging is that from what I gather, it can work on a BeagleBoard using the BB's native kernel and modules. This suggests to me that it should be a pretty easy port, and also unlocks a lot of potential apps coded specifically for the...

Coffin, meet nail. This isn't gonna happen, guys. Not with this project. The other option, writing a DS emulator optimized from scratch is such a huge commitment. I've looked up some technical details and it does not look promising. Add to that that none of the developers here have announced...
