Well, the big stopper here would specifically be the SGX. If that driver can't suspend, there's pretty much nothing that can be done, since I believe it's a closed source module. I do agree that it'd be worth looking at, though, just don't expect it to be perfectly similar, since there are a...

As for why you can't mount the dumped NAND as-is, there's probably some kind of partition table or other kind of descriptor/metadata/header/etc at the beginning. If you can find the offset that the filesystem starts at, you can clip off the beginning and have the filesystem image. If the data...

If you want to enable this, look in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and see if there's a Section "ServerFlags", and in that section, there may be a line that says Option "DontVTSwitch" "true" (may also be "on", "yes" or "1"), just remove that line and it SHOULD work. If it WAS added, though, it's...

Heh, I'm mostly fascinated in all things computers and Linux naturally. That little going off before about compressed ISOs is just an example of me kinda going off on a tangent for a while, like I tend to do. :D We'll see, though. It shouldn't be too much longer, I have express shipping...

Having the compiler on there by default isn't really a great idea, either. Only a few people will likely use it and it's also just a quick package install, but not really necessary for basic end-user functionality. As for what to fill the space with? No idea, but good to leave some kind of...

Eh, it was more a random thing that I didn't even expect would really change the topic so much as add to it because the topic of compressing disc images had came up and I figured a more datatype-specific compression scheme would be more beneficial than filesystem-level compression in that case...

Missing the point.... I didn't mean to imply trimming was lossless compression, just a size gain before actually compressing, and the padding isn't always zeroes or even data with a patten so it'd be detrimental to compression. Also I said to just use deflate since gzip has an extra header...

More odd USB devices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkqy915SGTw should work as long as pandora has a working libusb.

Eh I still get crap occasionally for talking about nerdy stuff too much. Mostly when I go on about it for too long. :P not a big deal but I can see where self-consciousness can come from! EDIT: for the pandora itself, I don't have one yet, but it can definitely be hard to describe what the...

Seems like some stuff that may be worth stripping from the next firmware to make room for expansion. At least the demos. They're probably available as packages separately anyway.

Programs probably shouldn't be bypassing dmix by default, as it is. If they can do this for whatever benefit to latency it may have, it should be an option. (Though this may be one of those variables that determines why some programs have awful sound and some don't...) EDIT: Does SNES9x4d4p...

This sounds a lot like the common zsnes problem a lot of people (including me) have on their PCs... it's probably mostly what torpor said. Some programs force bad defaults and don't get set back to normal upon close (Though shouldn't the driver reset the parameters each time the device is...

I'd probably notice the blue tint in the land, but just blame it on poor screen quality... A lot of bad LCDs with over-blue darker colors (and completely explode with red/green the lighter colors).

The Sony oled tv is also an earlier generation so it makes sense that it'd be a bit behind modern oled devices. I personally need to see some modern proper (RGB) OLED sets. I know the nexus one is oled but it I guess uses some odd rgb 2:4:2 configuration which is cheapo and ew and wouldn't...

I'm thinking along the lines of authoreyes really in that this kinda makes the pandora in to a bit of a prostitute... It had a kinda warm, fuzzy feeling to the whole project but stuff like this kinda sullies the whole thing a bit. It lost the "purity" as author said and just became just another...

If I was in the position to sell a bunch of pandoras and I made a good buck off them, I'd donate a percantage to OpenPandora. I'm honestly thinking of donating a decent amount of money, myself, but not really sure how to go about it... would it be effective to paypal ~$1000 or would I be...

Staying on the topic of compression but extending to PSX ISOs, isn't there a sorta "compressed" format that just throws away a lot of useless stuff that's part of the CD image but the game doesn't use, probably similar to trimming/scrubbing the leading junk off Wii images or throwing away...

Next version should have glow in the dark keymats. Though I guess it was considered impossible or something for some reason. Too bad. It'd provide enough light to read the keys but not glare in to your face like most LED lights and wouldn't take any battery life away.

Hmm, plugging in a USB sound card in linux should just make it a secondary sound card, not disable the primary sound card, unless there's some odd configuration here. The "second" sound card won't work with any programs by default, of course. You'd have to specifically select it or configure...

Well, OK, for N64 I guess it makes sense for most people, but SNES was already shown to run fullspeed even with the most demanding games, and the case will likely be similar for most other pre-PS1 games (excepting stuff like MAME and maybe sega cd/32x and some of the other early CD games that...
