While the Pandora portions have not started yet, the Linux port effort, which is required for the Pandora version, is coming along VERY nicely. Of course, a screenshot's probably in order... That's it running on my desktop machine. No, it's not doing it under WINE (though it does run decent...

A full flash update to the NAND will likely overwrite ANY partition re-work you might have done (since it resides in the beginning of the store...). Doing that won't prevent this issue, sorry. Fortunately, for everyone, it should be a rare occurrence that one would have to do that sort of...

Heh... He beat me to it with an even more detailed (the what as opposed to some of the whys...) explanation. Cool! :D

1) The repository system is geared for "permanent" media on the machine. Removables make for fun times- you can screw up your machine that way and confuse the hell out of your package metadata. (You've "installed" it, but it's NOT on the machine now...) 2) You can reconfigure your directory...

You're going to be limited to putting things on the NAND and only on the NAND because it doesn't really work nicely for something that's removable. For some applications this makes sense- but you're going to have a limit to what will go on at any given time.

All I need to do is talk w/2DBoy and their Linux porter to point 'em in the right direction or do the minimal changes for 'em after Caster and a few of the LGP titles are done. It's not likely for just right after release of the console- but it's not on the unlikely side in the medium term...

Heh... With a Linux port, you pick up X86 Linux and... Nokia NXXX hand helds... BeagleBoards... and... Wait For It... PANDORAS. The truth of the matter is that they've done a goodly portion of the needed work by doing a Linux version. You only need to tune for the display space (if...

The truth of the matter is that a port's been done for ES at one point and it's of minimal effort to revive it. The truth of the matter is that the bulk of the code is already doing fastpath operations in the case of iD games (They got the ideas for OpenGL ES 1.1 from what they did in that game...

Now, who in their right mind would WANT that nasty thing? :lol:

Speed of porting as an advantage. Performance and the potential complexity of having to maintain enough of the state machine to do it "right" as major disadvantages. In order to really, honestly do it as a wrapper, you're re-inventing goodly portions of OpenGL on top of ES, using ES as a...

I wish I knew whether or not Loki kept to their word and returned the port codebase to Raven- and if so, if they kept it lying about. If that was the case, all one would have to do is sweet-talk them into allowing a publisher to re-spin it for the handheld space on OMAP3... :D No kidding...

I do believe we explained the reality to you of this in that other thread. X86, even with Atom, won't bring you enough muscle unless you also field something at least like the tuned drivers with our SGX and an SGX (something you WON'T find in the x86 world...). Without it, you're not getting...

Should be in "Off-topic" as this discussion had already been hashed out with the thread starter in an earlier thread that got moved elsewhere.

Indeed. If you don't I will... ;)

Heh... Odds on, it'll be an OMAP4 SoC. Same architechture, but much more of it for only a slight loss on the power consumption front. Moreover, some of them offer beefy dual core A9 configs- and that sounds really appealing on a handheld if you're not giving a lot away on power consumption to...

And Gizmo's actually one of them. Driving the Skype interface may be a bit of a problem (as it requires you to SMS/IM the Skype address to a specific reciever number for the gateway server and it does a callback to your number accordingly.) but the rest should work just fine (I only use the...

Depends on the title. Some titles will need more work to accomodate things like the specific screen size or OpenGL vs. OpenGL ES. Targeting for Angstrom, really is more like targeting for Linux. You can get in the ballpark, but the Pandora is a fixed resource target like a console in nature-...

QUOTE EDIT: I understand what you're getting at, not making programs that only run at ~900Mhz. Because they won't run on all models and I agree. [post trimmed... Seems the edit got in as soon as I responded... :D]
