LeapFrog is stonewalling on the release of the source. i've kind of put hacking on the didj on hold for a couple of weeks while i finish some other projects and wait for some news from either LeapFrog or the SFLC.

OK I will buy 2 DIDJs from e-bay during waiting...

Any new news on this?

Any new news on this?

none directly from leapfrog. i got word that SFLC is working on it. i was able to identify the process. i've got the jtag and uart identified onboard, just haven't had time to post any info on the wiki.

Wow, this thing is pretty cool.

Any new news?

Also, has any of the American members seen the TV spots for the Leapster 2 systems. That allows for internet hook up too. I wonder if it too is running Linux?

LeapFrog posted the Linux source at http://medialib.leapfrog.com/didj_opensour...429-1631.tar.gz

To be honest, this looks far prettier than the GP2X-F100 & F200 with fewer buttons. Has anyone cracked one of these babies open to see whats the system board is like? :huh:

Ok I got a question.

Has anyone even taken a look at Leapfrogs's Leapster 2 handheld system? And checked to see if it too is running Linux? I mean, It has the same internet connectability as the Didj. But it does have a lower price point at around $70. ($69.99 price tag to be precise.) And maybe has 2 button less than the Didj. But unlike the Didj, the Leapster 2 has a touch screen.

Would you honestly feel comfortable using that? It does look easy on the hands, but still

If I had one and I was running homebrew on it. Then yes I would.


Also, when are we going to see some homebrew games and app for the Didj. Or ports of games and apps for the Didj. I mean we have the source now. I see no reason now that no one has started yet?

 

[Orkie]

Still not easy to get hold of .

Are you talking about the system or the source?

I think you'll get some funny looks if you were playing on that console using public transport as it is clearly for young children. Will be cool to have it open as the GP2X consoles and put whatever on it. Does it have a SD card slot? I'm guess NOT..... :huh:

hey all,
I've just recently started to look into the Didj, I first spotted it at Target, I must say, for 320x240 resolution, the screen isn't really that bad. I too was looking into hacking a basic linux OS into it to allow the use for emulation. I scanned around the web and noticed, despite it being on the market for quite some time, there is little support on it despite it being open source. I'd REALLY love to see a complete linux GUI in it for loading emulators on to. I did, however, see this website for step by step instructions on loading a linux OS onto the didj.

The website was created by a user in this forum, so I thank him for making the didj forum very much!
Has anyone else tried this kernel on the didj? I'm looking into getting one because of its wide availability and 3D openGL processing as well as its fast ARM processor.

Thanks!

Uhh dude, there is no need to port Linux to the Didj. It has bee been found out since then it run's linux. And uses a GUI, which I like how it works. (I had a chance to give the Didj a test run at my local Walmart)

 

[nightwheel]

Well well, look like one of the guys who worked on and helped put linux on the didj has come out of the wood work. Look like didj homebrew is going to get a boost soon: http://andrey.thedotcommune.com/2008/11/didj-hacking.html

I'm thinking homebrew should be pretty easy - it's designed to be hooked up to a computer and updated.
