Hi all, There's currently an interesting documentary being put together on the Commodore Amiga and its impact called 'Viva Amiga'. You can see a trailer for it here: Here's an extract: In my opinion, the Amiga computer is fondly remembered by those that used it, but there's not enough...

@fettouhi Hardware acceleration or no, performance (at least for YouTube) is fine. As meandu229 says, Flash support is in the browser, not through using a standalone player. Yes, Nokia paid for their Flash player, but you'd expect Adobe to want to help TI with their port, and Adobe could use...

I find it odd that the state of the port is only at demo level. My Nokia N900 has a Cortex-A8 and runs Flash just fine. Maemo is Linux based too, so it's not like it's a port to a brand new OS. Don't know what else to say. Perhaps someone can explain.

Sounds like you want to do this properly rather than just going for the easiest solution (which would be VNC). First thing to do would be sort out the control over WiFi issue. For control over WiFi, worth looking into socket programming. Here's a introduction...

Are you hoping to release it commercially?

VLC is a good choice for streaming video. What you want to do is set up an FFmpeg daemon to encode the stream, serving this via an FFserver daemon. VLC (MPlayer would probably work too) picks up on the stream to display it. For controls you could just set up your Pandora as a Bluetooth...

You're welcome. That video wasn't actually quite what I thought it was. But I did find the command you'll need to run to install VNC via the Pandora package manager, assuming you have a Pandora already. The command is: opkg install angstrom-x11vnc-xinit . What that should do is install a VNC...

What about the WiFi on the PSP? According to this page it's only 802.11b: http://playstation.about.com/od/psp/a/PSPSpecs.htm

I strongly dislike packages/package managers too, I don't care if they make things easy, I want to know what files are being put where and why. I really hope GoboLinux takes off, but otherwise I've given up on Linux offering an understandable file system layout. BSD distros are better in this...

The only extra work I'm proposing for the app dev is to add a couple of extra lines (for default settings) into the PXML file. Hardly a huge issue is it. Perhaps confusing was the wrong word, sorry. I agree with what you said before about appdata moved around with the app being a personal...

I agree, it should be handled by a per application basis, it's just I'm saying versions of apps differ between each other too. Adding extra work? Not that much really, especially not for app devs, and the OS stuff only has to be sorted once. What work do you think it'll entail for those...

If the OS doesn't need to babysit the appdata folders then why was this topic regarding confusing config structure brought up? Just to say, I don't really have a problem with it, I'm just thinking out loud for those that do. Don't have a Pandora to test on. Would you send me a Pandora to...

You've missed the point. If you change the default appdata folder in the pxml.xml file you are only getting the option of a default config file. If you do it in the way I've laid out you have the option of importing settings from older versions, which means less work to get a new version running...

I can definitely foresee people wanting multiple versions of emulators on their machines. For example, it is well known that earlier MAME versions are faster at running certain games than later versions (as the goal of the MAME project is to get as close to the original hardware as possible, and...

Yes, and it's important that you should be able to do this, but how do you handle creating this new appdata folder and creating the config files within? Of course you could do it all by hand (i.e. make new folder, point app at new appdata folder, run app to create default config for app, tweak...

Thanks for the reply skeezix, you make a good point about version upgrades, but surely it is necessary to separate config files out by version number? Imagine you had two versions of UAE4ALL on your Pandora, the older one supported a maximum refresh rate of 50Hz, the other supported a maximum...

I admit that I've skim read the last couple of pages of this thread, but I think I've come up with a sane solution to this problem that hopefully everyone can agree on. The problem DaveC had (as far as I could tell) was having a sprawling mess of config folders in the appdata folder, and the...

I apologise if I came across harshly before. It might seem like the quoted statements contradict each other, but not exactly. What I was trying to say was that the spec has been decided upon for now so that everyone can work to a common format, but it isn't frozen for all time, which is what I...
