Caanoo Cover Problems

[RZZ]

Hi everyone!

I just got my Caanoo, very nice, but:

upper 4 pixel lines are hidden by the cover. Pre-release versions had this problem, so GPH didn't fix it in final release? only mine has this problem?


Using Termula2x, typing "free" (gives total and used memory) total memory seems to be 84MB, shouldn't be 128MB ?.


example:

what I can see, is like this

This problem with the cover has been widely reported, I have observed. Its something that keeps coming up. Maybe there'll be a gen-2 Caanoo release that fixes it, but who knows?

Haven't got my Caanoo yet, but I'll report if I notice the same issue. TBH, it does bother me that there are un-visible pixels being wasted ..

until then whip out the razor blade ;-)

I believe the missing memory is allocated to the graphics driver.

my caanoos missing some of the screen too! bit annoying but i can live with it.

Besides devs will probably just adjust whatever so the game/emulator/app fits the screen

I will, for sure. This problem is very bothering.

Good, because scaling sucks

315x240 is ridiculous

One false move, and BAM, damaged screen.
Unless you can fit some piece of thin card beneath the bezel to protect the LCD screen whilst you're shaving.

I think you mean 320 by 235. ;P
The whole screen is there on the Caanoo it's the bevel around the screen that slightly obscures some of the topmost pixels.

I will remove the cover before cut it

yes 320x235

I want to be sure that is working fine, else I will think I broke it

haha, i don't think i'm getting the caanoo soon! thats an obvious design-failure that should've been seen before it went into final production. what the heck did they do - did they create the case without the bigger LCD in mind? GPH obviously has something against devs - first the tearing problem on the wiz and now the pixel offset? :huh:

they claim it was done so that the touchscreen would work.

Wow, I'm glad I didn't order one yet! This seems like it could be fixed by GPH by replacing the top half of the case with something that won't block those pixels... or by us with some sandpaper or a razor blade, maybe some paint to cover it up...

I hate it when things like this aren't as perfect as they should be.

Im just passing on the answer I was told ;-)

My games dont need adjusting, but i sometimes have debug info at the top when developing which i have had to move.
