    DoomRL Open Sourced!

    https://github.com/ChaosForge/doomrl It would be great if this could be ported to the Pyra.

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

        I agree because having 11 choices gives people the freedom to pick their ideal layout but there are tons of permutations where a person might have loved a layout that only received 2.5% of the vote but absolutely hated one of the other top choices but was "ok" with another top...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    I think that it is very unfortunate that there are 11 layouts in the final poll. If the lowest 6-7 of them were eliminated then it would give a much better impression of what people are willing to live with rather than their ideal layout. As I'm counting now 27% of the voters had their vote...

    What Desktop Environment is going to be used on this?

    I think that proper Wayland support is essential for Pyra for making a smooth desktop experience.  One year from now Wayland will graduate to being solid and ready for all desktop use cases with XWayland support for a fallback.  It would be a real shame to be stuck with a GPU driver that would...

    No time for a break after GamesCom

    I'm not saying that the Pyra should specifically use the nVidia chip but that apparently it is very possible to have the other stuff (not in the SOC) fully support 32 and 64 bit CPUs.  I don't know if special consideration needs to be paid to this or if it can somehow just work out magically...

    No time for a break after GamesCom

    Is there any chance that the upgrade CPU could be 64 bit a year or two after the launch?  I noticed that nVidia's new K1 CPU comes in a 4 core 32 bit and a 2 core 64 bit variety.  I'm thinking that two years from now would be a great time to go 64 bit. Also how would this work with port support...

    No time for a break after GamesCom

    Maybe the smaller buttons could bet set as alt and ctrl by default.  In particular I'm very interested to be able to have access to a Tab and ` character for being able to efficiently use Canonical's Unity DE.  People in the Debian camp have been working on supporting Unity since 14.04 when they...

    Emulator brings x86 Linux apps to ARM devices

    http://linuxgizmos.com/emulator-brings-x86-linux-apps-to-arm-devices/ Can this be used for Pyra? I would absolutely love to be able to run x86 DoomRL on the Pyra.

    Release Starcraft

    I'd even go so far as to say Super Genius B)

    Release Starcraft

    Don't be shy, well I can't take it back.  People are very interested in your dissasembler and there is some interest to get this running on the RPi.  Look there was no way that this was going to remain hidden for long but I do agree that it could have been better if the Pyra was a bit further...

    Release Starcraft

    I did my part to get the story on reddit linux and linux_gaming.  The stories took off pretty well.  I called notaz a super genius in the title and a few people explained that he is only very intelliegent and mostly it is just a shit ton of work.  Also I learned that OpenTTD was ported in a...

    Release Starcraft

    Of course it will.  However I'm referring to Blizzard possibly offering a new minor version to work around say a Windows 9 incompatibility.  It would be nice to know that notaz could offer an updated version without doing all of the work over again.

    Prepare for the next level

    For once EvilDragon news is a big MEH when compared to notaz's astounding Starcraft work.  I was thinking what is so important about this notaz guy in the x86/ARM conversation but now I'm a believer.  Keep this guy happy.

    Release Starcraft

    Notaz are you going to be able to update the EXE with a diff for Starcraft if Blizzard issues an update in a few years?

    Action button labels

    Look if we have a tiny e-ink display on the front of the device then it can display the button configuration.  Then we can use Ancient Chinese numbers, or Greek for all that I care.  +1 use for e-ink.

    E-ink Screen

    I'll bow out of this conversation since I'm obviously pretty masterful.  I'd just hope that someone who can't manage an SD card with their off hand isn't trying to play any sort of old-school ultra difficult Japanese made Nintendo games.  Some of those games make SD card insertion seem trivial...

    E-ink Screen

    Well I was a sports jock so I don't think that I'll be having any dexterity issues putting an SD card into a slot

    E-ink Screen

    Agreed.  I bought a Kobo Mini for $40 and I'll take that over a big bulky Pyra e-book reader any day.

    E-ink Screen

    That would be amazing if it could replace leds.  It could also show wifi strength as well.  So many uses. I don't really like the permanent LED for the 3g chip, although I don't have a better solution.
