    Should I Get One And Why ?.whats All The Fuss

    I haven't charged mine at all in the last 3 days. I get about 1-2 hours' play out of it each day. Battery life on these is good, just remember to power it off or set the auto-poweroff function. There are a couple mod videos to be found on youtube (mostly to do with making the reset button...

    Need To Contact Craigx

    Booboo only needed the newer hardware so he can keep working on porting linux to the Dingoo. For your average user, this has no impact. The problem mentioned in the "Don't upgrade the firmware" thread shouldn't affect normal users, either. It's been said that you can still upgrade the...

    Howto Set Up Psx Emulation Under Linux :(

    I've been using ePSXe for about 7 months now on Ubuntu without WINE. It works pretty darn well as long as you have the right plugins and configure them properly. That said, it may take some tweaking for each game, and getting Lunar: Silver Star Story to display properly was a bit of a hassle...

    Well, Mine Arrived, But It Isn't Going Well. Any Advice?

    Try "fdisk -l" to get the device path. It complains that it doesn't look to have a partition table which might be why it doesn't automount (appears to work fine though). No dice. Doesn't show the Dingoo's volumes, and trying to mount it with this command errors out: CODE sudo mount -t vfat...

    Well, Mine Arrived, But It Isn't Going Well. Any Advice?

    QUOTE On my Ubuntu 9.04 system the internal flash won't automount (MiniSD does though) but I can manually mount it just fine. Hmm.. I seem to having the same problem, but the dingoo's internal flash isn't showing up under /dev/sd[a-b][0-9]. Google isn't helping much with this, either. :(...

    Well, Mine Arrived, But It Isn't Going Well. Any Advice?

    Thanks for the replies, all. Both my Dingoos arrived today, even though there weren't any further status updates on the tracking page. Seems the black one is a newer model (has the ILI9325 LCD controller as opposed to the older one, which my white Dingoo has) and both seem to be working ok...

    Well, Mine Arrived, But It Isn't Going Well. Any Advice?

    Ugh. I ordered from the same batch (ordered May 19th, shipped from Hong Kong May 27th, same as Prometheus). I ordered 2, one black and one white. I don't believe they have arrived yet, although I'm now expecting them pretty much any day. It's a mixed bag until I see whether one or both of...

    Pandora Cube

    Pandora's biggest draw for me is the portability. When you require it to be connected to a TV or LCD monitor, it loses a lot of its appeal - the requirement for a small form factor becomes more of a nice-to-have, and I can get a more powerful system at about the same price. Heck, I've already...

    Black!

    "It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. Hey, what is this, some kind of galactic hyper-hearse?" Love the...

    Emulators On A Media Center Pc

    I'm running mythtv at home -- my primary frontend is mythbuntu on a ShuttlePC K45 (the backends are slightly beefier desktops hidden away in the home office). Peripheral-wise, I've got an ATI remote wonder that works pretty well, but needed some serious configuration in lirc to get it...

    Lamp

    I love lamp. I believe at least some of these programs are already ported to ARM. Looks like they're all in the Angstrom repository at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/ That's not a guarantee that they'll work 100% but it means they'll at least compile and run without causing a...

    Release More Prototype Action

    You've been watching Lost again, haven't you? :D Enjoyed the video, and glad to hear things are picking up steam.

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    I'm in agreement that we should move (not that it matters -- as Chip said, He, Craig, and ED already made the decision). While I'm disappointed that we don't have DB access, there are other ways of archiving websites. I've built a site crawler or two in the past, and would be willing to...

    Pandora As A Remote Control

    Depending on what you're using as your cable/satellite/whatever receiver, you have quite a variety of options. For instance, a linux box with a tuner card can be controlled remotely via ssh using ivtvtune (http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Ivtv-tune), or you could write a pair of client/server...

    A Few Questions From A Newbie.

    I'll answer the few questions I can. In short, no. They're packaging programs in such a way that you can just download them to the Pandora and double-click an icon. No messy installation, no futzing about on the command line, none of it. That said, it's an open enough platform that you can...

    Out Of The Box

    I was under the impression that the s-video out was a completely separate video signal, and I'm pretty sure one of the devs (or at least someone with a dev board) mentioned that rendering 3d to TV-out would be problematic, at best, but I can't find the thread, so I may be mis-remembering that...

    Pre Installed Programs

    He mentioned using fuse, which is a userspace filesystem that allows you, among other things, to define (script, really) handlers for various file types. You could, in essence, `cd` into a .tgz file or .iso file, then cat the contents of a file contained therein, without having to mount the...

    How Is Your Re-order Status?

    Re-pre-re-prerererepreprpeprperpepreordered. But I've also ordered a couple spare units that weren't part of my original pre-order, so I voted option 2.
