Release SuperZaxxon - Beta 5 released

[Linux-SWAT]

Mplayer'S behaves badly when i overclock on both my units.

Every time I boot up my Panda it doesn't seem to boot with the requested clock speed.

That functionality seems to be broken, yes.

Hm, weird, nothing has changed there sincd Hotfix 5 AFAIR... I'll check it before going final.


Seems to work for me though - I've set my speed to 1000 MHz and it is 1000 MHz after I booted up.

When`s final ED?

When`s final ED?

Yes, when is it? You'e got 40 minutes if we're going by GMT


Edit: Btw, Notaz has posted a fix for this issue on git.


D.

I often get this window, that wants to reset my clockspeed on bootup. I think this is because I set my defaultspeed to 925 once and then changed the mx clock to 900. So it always starts out of my defined maximum.


Only problem is, that I can't change the default speed anymore. It doesn't show the slider, but only says def speed was not changed when I select that from the tool.

 

[EvilDragon]

You'll get the slider again when you set the maximum speed higher than the default speed again.


Notaz posted a fix? Great, time to build the image then

ED's still finding issues, so it's got into "when it's done" state.

If I look at my clock speed it tells me it is running at 850, but the performance I am getting is not 850.


Also when I try to choose the preset speed of 500 it actually chooses 600.

I've confirmed this, if you select 500mhz on the tray it uses 600mhz..

 

[slaeshjag]

I *think* that was because of a bug. However, as I understood the bug, it would toss up the CPU-speed select dialog instead


Anyway, from SuperZaxxon stable, 600 MHz (or whatever is specified as minimum speed if higher) will be the new low point. It will also use the maximum speed limit for generating the selectable options.

That's what I would like to see, but my guess is that 1 1/2 months might be too short to get something like this up and running.


I could imagine someone to take on one of the existing Quake1, Quake2 and/or Quake3 ports and optimize it?


Not sure about Quake1, it is marked as beta ... I did not read much about the Quake2 port, but a lot of people complained about the controls in Quake3 for example. There may be other existing ports worth updating ...


But I think the most interesting .PNDs in the competition will be the ones that bring something completely new, something nobody really thought about. A new game concept that utilizes the different control options the Pandora has, maybe in a new way even, or an application that suddenly enables you to use the Pandora for something you never thought about.

quake2 doesn't work well for me. keep freezing and crashing

Q2 or yamagi Q2 ?


I think YQ2 is stable with the 2.6 kernel.

There is a new image dated at 3 a.m. today...is that the secret final or did I just miss the correct thread? Or is it something not-yet-finished? Any help greatly appreciated


Well it flashes and it does not call itself Beta5

 

[slaeshjag]

Well, last commit was 3.28 am, so maybe, maybe not

 

[sparkymark79]

where are you finding this new image, I want to download it

 

[jottt]

Well, last commit was 3.28 am, so maybe, maybe not

Hm, The timestamps say 3:34 - 3:40 am so I guess thats possible

[sparkymark79]

which one is it please :wacko:

In SZ5a on my 256MB Pandora, my WiFi is borked (slow, constantly dropped connections) in both the 3.2 and 2.6 kernels. I'm aware the 3.2 kernel has these issues, but is it normal for the 2.6 kernel as well?


I've also tried the WiFi Updater PND on SZ5a, to no avail. The latest 3:34am-dated pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2 with SD-Installer also has the same issue. I guess my next step is to try Zaxxon HF6. Hoping this isn't a hardware issue.

 

[EvilDragon]

Tried different routers?


If not, try changing the config in your router (especially check the channel or the security protocol).


Not all Wifi devices play nicely with all routers.
