Thanks for the tip! I'll try it later on tomorrow.

When I run Warzone 2100 it's a slideshow in tutorial mode and is almost unresponsive. Also, the default GLX driver is unaccelerated on desktop Mesa even though there is a good OpenGL ES 3 capable GPU as described by the Hardkernel documentation. Edit: glxinfo gives slow or none for every...

I downloaded and built the trunk code on my ODroid XU4 but there's no target in the resulting make file for a "sudo make install". Where do I copy the libGL.so.1 file to? I tried putting it in /usr/lib/ and made a link called libGL.so but it's still using the unaccelerated framebuffer under...

Ahh! Well thanks anyway!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to testing it with Warzone 2100 version 3.2!

Has anyone gotten http://github.com/p3/regal to work on any Linux platform? For the benefit of any who haven't heard of it, Regal is a wrapper of OpenGL ES 2 to get shader support for OpenGL desktop varieties. It's supposed to be like GLShim but for newer versions of OpenGL. I suspect that...

You wouldn't like Python either, in that case.

3D games were the killers of the classic Amigas. They didn't use the graphics chipset enough. (And the OS didn't supply good enough polygon acceleration support using the chipset as it was. Most people banged the hardware directly for maximum performance and there was no texture mapping built...

It would be. What's in doubt is that it might not be the best starting point for Pandora programmers if it hasn't been ported to OpenGL-ES.

Intel Linux apps won't run without a recompile. Likewise OpenGL programs won't run without being ported to OpenGL-ES.

The 68000 and 68EC020 have 24-bit addressing but the full 68020 and 68030 have full 32-bit addressing. It was a mistake for Commodore to put a 68EC020 in the A1200. For a scant $10USD more they could have had an '030 with a data cache. The instruction set for an '020/030 is nearly identical...

Has anyone looked into SFML for Pandora? I read on their forums that somebody was going to write a version for the iPhone but I don't know if they released their source or not. If they did it would be an excellent starting point for either C++ or Python programmers.

The Google Native Client browser plugin should soon be coming to all LLVM-supported platforms soon. I hope this spells the end for flash apps! SOURCE:a job listing on LLVM Developers' mailing list

If it happens the Pandora 2 will have to be a custom SoC based on the NatAmi designs. :D

@CraigX I just watched the whole thing (all 7 parts). There's probably more truth in that documentary than most people get in an afternoon. I hope you get the deal with the cases straightened out and I'm glad you did the curcuit boards in the U.S. also.

Actually the CPU is still a mystery because they say it will work with a variety of them on the http://a-eon.com/6.html webpage. They only specify the minimum configuration as being a pre-POWER6 chip. The XCore chip (called Xena in the puzzle) is a multithreaded processor with local-store...

There is a guy working on porting DarkGDK to AmigaOS 4.x which uses a subset of OpenGL. When he's done it shouldn't be too much bother putting a parser on the front end of it and making AmiDARK engine work on Linux. The trouble will be for the discrepencies between OpenGL and OpenGL-ES. While...

I just did a search on angstrom-distribution.org repository list for "libc" and that was the only thing that turned up.

KLibC

Using the not-yet-finished Unladen Swallow version of Python, maybe. Using conventional Python, probably not. It just depends on how many calculations are done in the JIT and how many are done in the bindings. C++ based bindings are the same speed as C++ because they are written in C++.
