Yeah, I was more asking what methods are available to actually make a proper vsync-aligned buffer swap, perhaps SDL handles this internally already. Also, I'm not even sure if LCD screens have a vsync refresh rate in that way, but if they don't there need to be some other method to have smooth...

OK, so I finally got my toolchain up and running, and now I want to start coding! For now, I thought I would ignore the whole OpenGL ES business, and stick with a straight framebuffer. Ideally I want the as little to do with the system as possible, just access to a fast (preferably double...

Wow! That was it! The PND-file was corrupt - really strange. I checked the MD5 file of the file on my sdcard, and it didn't match yours. Then I checked the file in the download folder on my PC, and it matched! So somehow the file got corrupted while copying or during runtime on the Pandora. I...

Yeah, I hadn't used my Pandora in almost a decade, so I did a reinstall with the latest Super Zaxxon firmware before I did anything else. So that should probably not be the issue. I'm really stumped, normal shell works fine, so to me it seems like CodeBlocks dev shell simply is broken somehow...

Yeah, I'd really like to get some demo-coding going on the Pandora! The problem discussed in that link I think are related to trying to run the codeblocks development shell remote, which is of course something that would be nice, but not necessary. At the moment I would be content with SCPing...

OK, I'm still struggling getting this to work. I got myself a second SD-card, spent a lot of time getting it formatted correctly as EXT2, moved the whole codeblocks.pnd to that. Finally I can start developing? Nope...still stuck where I was when I had it on the other SD card. The "Dev Command...

I managed to get working ethernet this by plugging in a USB->Ethernet dongle and enabliding "USB Host". Now I can SSH into the device, and also use SCP to copy files to/from the device - so partial success! My next step was to try and use the Codeblocks command shell on the Pandora itself to...

The weird thing is that the WiFi was working fine just a couple of days ago, I even downloaded some stuff directly on the Pandora using that app-browser thing that came included with the latest OS install. But now since I installed CodeBlocks, it simply refuses to work. I have not made any...

Latest progress: I installed the Codeblocks PND and it seems to work fine, I even started the GUI and compiled a simple SDL app. Though a bit hard to code since you only see about one line of code at the time! :D Next step was that I was going to try to get SSH/SCP running so I can code on PC...

Alright guys, thanks for all your help so far, and sorry for asking more questions, but I kind of got stuck on the very first step: First of all, why is it necessary to have a second dedicated SD-card for development? My "main" card with the OS etc. has plenty of space free, and also is in a...

OK, now that sounds like a much nicer solution for sure! :) I'll start with installing the Codeblocks and setting up an SD card with that, and then I'll start search for info on how to get a Samba share set up. Thanks!

I did see some references to this, and coding on the Pandora. While it's a cool feature for sure to have a handheld that you can actually code on, sitting and writing any serious code on a 480x272 screen with a miniscule keyboard would be torture!

Yeah, I saw mentioned in the stickied thread in this forum, however the link was dead. I did a search in the forum for "Yactfeau" and did find a thread, however, the link to the VM itself did not seem to work. Any idea on where to find the latest version of this? It seems to be just what I'm...

So, digging through my collection of stuff a while ago, I found my Pandora! I think it's a first-generation, first batch device (I think it arrived early 2011 to me). Back then I never did much with it, bu now I think it would be fun to write some stuff for it. Setting upp Linux toolchains and...

Yeah, I can only agree! I'm surprised that there hasn't been anything like this put together yet, it should be top priority to get a stable, easy-to-get-started-dev package released so that developers can start DEVELOPING instead of having to days mucking about with installing a virtual Linux...

Any progress reports on this? Since it doesn't seem like there will be a viable alternative to compile directly from Windows, a Vmware image with everything set up would be the next best thing. Ideally I'd like to do all my editing etc. in Windows (UltraEdit rules) and then just switch to a...

Yeah, I can only agree with this. I also have some experience from similar manufacturing process, and the time it takes to send the first design to China, get sample, make adjustments, get new sample etc. until you have a case that is perfect takes way more than a couple of weeks. Then you have...

Why can't I choose PayPal? I've got money in my account and I'm ready to go! However, if I select the 'Europe' site, I can't choose to pay using PayPal, if I instead select the 'Rest of the world' site, I can choose Paypal, but then I can't choose Sweden! Come on, don't you want me to port my...

Wow, looking real good! How much performance is there left to squeeze out? I'm thinking fullspeed emulation with sound enabled should be more than doable, right?

OK, I admit it - I am lazy. When I begin developing for a new platform, I prefer if there is a ready-to-install SDK which you install, look at the included skeleton code and then start hacking code. With most Linux based stuff, the process seems to be more like. * Locate different SDKs you need...
