You people are freaking out like the ones that says that a journalling filesystem will absolutely and instantly obliterate a flash based memory. Flash memory will have its life reduce by an increased use, but how much... you are not constantly writing millions and millions of files with of...

Yeah, that was it. When I copy it to the root of the game where I execute the run.sh it works, but it struck me as odd that it didn't worked as this is a straight forward SDL game, with SDL graphics, SDL input, and SDL sound and I don't think everyone else had to tinker with this file, specially...

Used that, and now the home folder stays clean, but I end up with no sound. I've tried your script with "sh genpxml.sh --src /media/mmcblk0p1/mirrormagic --name mirrormagic --dest ~" and I get a "awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: file '-' is a directory" All the files are in...

Mirror Magic from Artsoft Entertainment This is a simple game where you have to guide a laser with the help of mirrors to destroy spheres (or cauldrons depending what game are you playing) while avoiding traps that overheat the laser, deflect the laser randomly and so on. Think of Mindbender...

How did you find out about the SDL_SoftStretch? It is not in the API, and digging inside the SDL headers I found on SDL_video: /** @internal Not in public API at the moment - do not use! */ /* extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SoftStretch(SDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect...

Mmmm, where did I heard that before?

Pity the Wine on arm project has stumbled with some pretty big rocks, because this type of games would be perfectly runnable and quite smooth at it, since the game is probably far less dependant on floating point operations than most other 3d games. Even Age of Empires 2 might be quite...

Come on, that is an issue minor enough and far from crippling to prevent people from return it. While I don't think it is an epidemic (after all, the cases are supposed to be hard plastic), the number of people with such cracks is most likely higher. What's more, when you see that you can...

Excellent, I've never had chance to finish the game on the pc as I had to format but now being able to do so on the go is going to be awesome. I'm still waiting for my replacement pandora so I can't check it out right now (and probably in one more week) Out of curiosity I compiled the game on...

VLC can do the job if I'm not much mistaken, but perhaps you'll need some sort of driver. Sadly, a lot of the ones available on the Angstrom repository are for a newer kernel (which can't come soon enough). What we really need is skype on the pandora to make full use of its portability, and...

Unless the downclocking comes with a downvolting of the cpu, it won't save a single electron. Note how Hotfix 4 from ED will actually remove the downclocking to 14 mhz as it caused problems (namely speed not resetting to the previous one, or taking too much to do so) and the benefits are still...

Speaking of drugs...

That may be true with 802.11n standard, but both g and b has been around for years now. And considering routers die after several years of constant use, I doubt many people have routers of more than 6, 7 years old. Just for the record I too couldn't go faster than 20 kb/s perhaps some times at...

Yeah, GIF so monstrously big that even the beefiest of computers are going to have a heart attack before they can even display the first frame (specially when the viewer in question tries to load a several gigabyte file in memory).

Watch out with that format. Right now the pandora is unable to play videos at 800x480 at 25 fps with high profile h264 (and therefore, roughfly the DVD size), as in, total frame skip even on cartoons that are much less complex, at 875 Mhz. It only displayed one or two heavily corrupted frames...

If I recall journalling on the ext3 can't be turned off, at most, it can be changed to writeback mode where it is journalled as little as possible. That is a new feature from ext4, the ability to turn journalling off. However, I've been running ext3 for quite some time on the pandora and...

And have some sweet usb DVB-T tuner while at it :D The driver I need for the USB got included in the kernel 2.6.30

But this game only requires one controller, or nub in this case. Sure it might not be the best controlling it with your wrong hand, but it should work (as long as both nubs do the same thing that is). Still the amount of precision this game requires is going to "stress" test the accuracy of the...

Graphics card and DSP have very little in common, with the exception of the video decoding that the modern ones have, but that's because the graphics cards themselves got a very specialized DSP for video decoding (UVD for Ati, for example). DSP are good for processing long streams of data...

Jesus, lets hope you are the exception on these returns, and that either mine is a new one from later batches or else I fear I'm going to return it again. Left nub always felt a bit looser than what it should be, and while it worked well, I fear it is not going to last. I've sent mine to repair...
