Port Requests

[ptitSeb]

@3XCL4M4t10N : yes, I had, some time ago. The engine has x86 assembly code with a jit engine. Converting to arm is a not easy at all.

Does anyone want to Port a SameGame?

Sources available, there is also a Dingoo Port already.

@Magic Sam : I'll see if I can compile a few of the games and do a pnd with a simple menu...

I know it has no source, but can Portal run on the Pandora? There are several ways to play it on an Android device but our Android port is a bit old and nobody loves Android here, so...

@Alpibrine28 : I'm not sure about Portal, but at least I guess we could play GlPortal on the Pandora.

Thanks! I'll check that out!

Hi all,

The Servo Browser Engine:

https://github.com/servo/servo/

Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the Rust language. It is currently developed on 64bit OS X, 64bit Linux, and Android.

Any chance we could run this on the Pandora ?

Not without a rust compiler.

I spent a lot of time trying to get one, but I only got a semi-working rust compiler, and never the cargo packager (rendering the rust compiler useless anyway).

Hi,

@ptitSeb : according to the official documentation, the Pandora would fall into the Tier 2 category:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html

Rustc should compile correctly, but Cargo unfortunately won't...

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

Yeah, that's what I just wrote.

Hi all,

@ptitSeb : rust 1.10.0 has just been released:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md

I have also found these two interesting github issues:

https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2510
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2141

Could you please give rust another go on the Pandora ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

mmm, ok, I'll try later.

Hi all

Do you think mGBA would run nicely on the Pandora ?

mGBA is a new Game Boy Advance emulator written in C.

The project started in April 2013 with the goal of being fast enough to run on lower end hardware than other emulators support, without sacrificing accuracy or portability. Even in the initial version, games generally play without problems. It is loosely based on the previous GBA.js emulator, although very little of GBA.js can still be seen in mGBA.

Other goals include accurate enough emulation to provide a development environment for homebrew software, a good workflow for tool-assist runners, and a modern feature set for emulators that older emulators may not support.

mGBA is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the code can be found onGitHub.

Cheers, Magic Sam

Would it be possible to port something like Albert or kupfer to the openpandora?

The main menu is great, but I would love to just hit a key-combo and be able to type the name of the app I want. Much more comfortable, especially today with things like Spotlight and Cortana and the Dash in ubuntu.

 

[canseco]

There's Application Finder on default desktop (XFCE).
It takes a bit to open, depending on how many PNDs you have.

I don't know if there's an easy hotkey by default, but on Openbox i did setup Ctrl+2.

But i would take a look at Albert, i hope it works by just typing on the home screen, like Krunner does on Plasma 5 (aka KDE)

 

[___]

@canseco if i could make a request: take a look at dmenu instead, as it is tiny, lightning fast, unobtrusive and highly configurable.

Does that work if you're not using dwm?
