I would like to get Pysol on my GP2X. Is the only linux app that my girlfriend loves!! I actually have a toshiba libretto 50 with Damn Small linux just for that...

I also wonder if the GP2X is powerful enough to run Hydrogen? :

I am downloading andlinux right now, but I really don't have experience in porting software.
Anybody interested?
Suggestions?
Already been there?

Thx
 
pysol should not be a big problem I think. The gp2x has python libraries and you should be able to port it if it doesn't contain any x86 specific asm or such. I don't know about the graphics though, is there any gfx involved that would require resizing? The source looks like the game is being blitted to the framebuffer (I am no python programmer though... is that correct?) so I guess you wouldn't need to rewrite the GUI, am I right on this one?

EDIT: Hydrogen I would imagine not to be feasible. Seems like too big of a workload for our little friend, remember, it's only got 64MB Ram. Also QT would need to be ported. Not sure how complicated that would be and how it would work with the sound driver of the gp2x (what is it anyways? OSS? ALSA?).

There is a few other drum machines and sequencers though. We've got a milkytracker port, but it's not really finished and crashes occasionally as far as I remember.

Thanks for your advice,

After some time in "Purgatory" now I am able to reply.

I got errors when trying to run /mnt/sd/python/python pysol.py, but looks promising.
Actually I am trying PySolFC that have more than 1000 games.

As for QT, could be possible to run qt apps inside of qtopia?


Cheers
