    Video Cable/connector

    I'm certain there's a very good reason for not having used it (no room for signal traces?, only composite video possible and not s-video?, cost?) I'm just curious about it. why not have used a TRRS plug for a video out / headphone combo plug using "standard" camcorder cable...

    This Is Why We Do Not Have Vga On The Pandora!

    unless the frame buffer is contained in a separate memory connected directly to the video circuit it wont leave much main memory bandwidth for anything. 1920x1200 x 60Hz = 138.24 mega pixels/sec, at 16bpp that's 276.48MB/sec (263.67MiB/sec) and that's just for DISPLAYING the frame, not even...

    Wish To Know...

    how about: "I might cancel if another or better (600+ Mhz, 800x480 touchscreen LCD, OpenGL ES 2.0, dual SDHC, dual USB, video-out, 256MB, open, Linux-based, dual analog game controls + keyboard + dpad + 6buttons, bluetooth + wifi, long battery life) portable comes out for 330$ or under, and...

    Pandora Lcd Screen

    30 ms is the standard LCD response time. all the LCDs I tried down to so called "8ms" would still mix 2 frames if you'd flicker them at 60Hz (60Hz/2 = 30Hz = 33.333ms) so they're all pretty much stuck on 30ms true response time. don't worry that's just 2 frames at 60Hz, as long as it doesn't...

    Discussion About Additions To The Pnd Format

    no, I'm suggesting we use ipkg (or other already existing packaging systems) for stuff that would install on the system, and keep PND for stuff that does not install and remains on the removable device.

    Discussion About Additions To The Pnd Format

    NAND should not be touched by SD card / PND insertion. NAND does not need to be touched by unix-style HOME configuration settings in .dot directories from uses you mentioned PND use 1: game executable with included library bloat: 5 to 20 MB, 100% sure it works because the library are...

    Anyone For Dosbox?

    Some comments: - Your ARM code sequence has a load-use penalty between the ldr and the adds. - You are missing AF and PF flag computation. - Translating one instruction at a time will not provide good enough speed. true, true, I'm just giving a rough estimate, and I figure some good recompiler...

    Accidental Sd Ejections

    that's great news. if not, it'll motivate someone to add a kernel workaround :) or I'm abusing the device :) my dash cam is starting to have problems after 3 years of car vibration. but aside from that extreme case, my DS sometime has trouble reading nintendo cards (similar form/mechanical...

    Accidental Sd Ejections

    sorry if I misdirected the discussion off topic with my swap file example, I am talking about ACCIDENTAL SD card ejections. I'm not talking about "people who don't understand": its extremely easy to eject an SD card unintentionally (as well as other push-and-it-pops-out medias), not only full...

    Psp Power Supply

    a cheap charger / voltage regulator will cause very short voltage spikes as the power demands changes. its a half-good analogy but think of it like a tug of war, where one side is the power supply, the other is the pandora, but the goal is to keep the flag centered (to 5 Volts) as the pandora...

    Accidental Sd Ejections

    the kernel is unlikely to "pool" file requests for a removed media. when it detects a media removed it'll just return an error to the app, and who knows what the app will do then. most likely the app will crash or ignore the error (outside of well-maintained apps) the ideal is not to have...

    Accidental Sd Ejections

    (I mentioned it in another thread, but it was rather OT so I'm making this thread) I tried running Linux on an iPAQ PDA from an SD card, one big problem I found was it was too easy to accidentally eject the SD card, that would make the whole system go belly up with a nice irrevocable kernel...

    Pandora's Gui? Will It Even Have One?

    very true. also, it would be quite annoying to have the kernel,X,GUI,etc crash/panic when you accidentally eject the SD card. this has happened a couple of times I tried Linux on my iPAQ from the SD card. (its still unusable as a Linux PDA, hopefully my Pandora will soon replace it)

    Psp Power Supply

    I've been using an Optex CamPower model DCAC384 (3 - 8.4V, 2.5A) for 2 years to power my digital camera (3.3V, 2.5A), but it was rather expensive at around 50$ CAD at Future Shop. the adapter: http://www.gentec-intl.com/GentecInc/HR/OPTEX/DCAC384+Camera.jpg I use it in the car as a dashboard...

    Anyone For Dosbox?

    with a very good dynamic recompiler running 32 bit x86 code you could easily get up to 486DX-120Mhz performance depending on the software being run with interpreted emulation running 16bits x86 code, not much more than a 386DX-16 the 486 had only 8KB to 16KB of cache (code+data) ARM and 486...
