    Release ScummVM

    https://pyra-handheld.com/repo/apps/274 Of course, you can install ScummVM from the Debian repository as well, but it's an older version with less game support. My release should also have better performance thanks to OMAP5 specific compiler flags. I didn't included the GUI elements yet, so...

    Change nub behaviour with pyrainput to control mouse cursor with right nub

    I want to swap the mouse control behaviour of the left and right nub, so that i can move the curser with the right nub. I looked into the funkeymonkey-pyrainput package. There is a /etc/pyrainput.cfg file and the readme provides possible configurations for it. So I inserted this into the...

    Release Heart of The Alien Redux

    This game uses SDL1.2 which means that the game doesn't run easily in fullscreen mode on a Pyra. There is a possibilty to get a fullscreen mode nontheless by using sdl12-compat but there are sound issues when using the sdl12-compat libraries. So the game runs in windowed mode with system SDL1.2...

    Release f2bgl (Fade to Black)

    With this port, I realized a few oddities. The engine supports a nice looking fullscreen mode, but then the game crashes ...mostly... when the actual gameplay starts (in the Terminal it reports "ERROR: I/O error on seeking to offset #####!") However, ...sometimes... it does not crash and then...

    Now it's time for a Flashback! https://pyra-handheld.com/repo/apps/226 According to the changelog, a widescreen mode from the CD-i version is supported. I wonder if this will get us a nice 16:9 fullscreen mode.

    Save backlight intensity value for reboot

    To save some battery while fiddling, I often dim the backlight after booting. I realized, that in bookworm (my favorite word atm :D ) the intensity level is saved upon restart. So how can I get this value saved in the "official" Pyra OS?

    Why not bookworm?

    So the sails are set for a journey towards bullseye. There are now bullseye images and the Pyra-specific packages now have branches for bullseye. However, upgrading a bullseye system to bookworm seems to work well, so why not skip bullseye and move directly to bookworm? Are there any major...

I would also like to add any...
