really nice theme -- thanks!  I have installed from .deb, had to reboot
(apps started to segfault), and it works nicel


The theme is very nice, thanks.

I used it on my QtMoko-v28 NAND installation with great satisfaction, 
but yesterday the system suddenly became very slow; I opened the 
terminal to look at top and sought that qpe was using 98% of the CPU; 
after some trying I reversed the native theme and the total CPU usage 
reduced to some tenth %; nonetheless, the system did not returned 
completely usable (infinitely charging applications like contacts are a 
problem ;-)) and I'm going to flash v32...


Cheers

GameRunner distribution v0.3

2011-02-16 Thread Rafael Ignacio Zurita
Hello,
  new version of GameRunner after almost one year.

GameRunner is an Openmoko Linux distribution. It aims to convert the 
Freerunner phone into a Linux-based handheld game console :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/

New Version 0.3 Available :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/download_installation.html

Screenshots, pictures and instructions about how to play :

http://gamerunner.sourceforge.net/games.html


Changelog since 0.2 :

 - added The Battle for Wesnoth game
 - added Free Heroes II game
 - added RoadFighter racing game
 - added Xgalaga game
 - added GnuBoy emulator
 - added Xvier (4 in a row) game
 - fixed the problem with ubifs on nand (previous versions used to corrupt
   FS on NAND)
 - added bigger icons for launchers 
 - improved a bit the snes9x performance


Some random notes : 

- Boot time using qi is 15-20 seconds since second boot
- Many games use gamerunner gamecontrol which we wrote to control
  games like an external gamepad. With this tool we do not need to modify 
  games source code in order to use touchscreen and accelerometers as controls.
  If it is hard for you to play games, please, read the documentation on 
  screen and gamerunner web site. Also, you will find a video explaining the
  two modes feature. The gamecontrol has a lot of command line arguments,
  so you can set your own settings for it.
- Use Power button for exiting any game and get back to main menu.
- Use Aux button for switching mode in games using gamerunner gamecontrol.
- We have a forum to share suggestions, ideas, contribution work or report of
  bugs. Also, we think openmoko mailing list is fine as well.
- save does not work on The Battle of Wesnoth. We will work on that.

Sorry about the delay for this new version. We got several suggestions on 
forums, but we have not had time to work on those ideas before. Now we finally 
did, so enjoy :-)

Rafa

2.5 vs 3.5 jack

2011-02-16 Thread Dmitry Shalnoff

Hi list,

is anybody here from GTA04 developers? if it's not late, would be great 
to hear some case concerning 2.5 jack retention. That's only thing I 
found objectionable in the current tech. specification. is it possible 
to change it in final PCB version to 3.5 standard socket to make it 
compatible with most widespread headphones standard?


I think that major of participants and users could be agree with me in 
this aspect.


Dmitry.

I would, but that's only because it is also standard where I live. In other 
parts of the world, 2.5 is standard- or so I'm told :)

Hi list,
Hello list-user :-)

yes

retention. That's only thing I found objectionable in the current tech.
specification. is it possible to change it in final PCB version to 3.5 
standard socket to make it compatible with most widespread headphones standard?
Well, I'm plagued by the same issue. Here where I live, all connectors are
Ø3.5mm while the FreeRunner has Ø2.5mm.
I talked with Nikolaus about this topic already, and it's not that easy.
The board wouldn't fit into the case anymore,
so you would have need for a new one too...
Good thing is, that we also are already planning the gta05, and there I'm
organizing an amazing, cool and totally innovative new chassis in addition.
Can't tell too much as long as the specs are not CC-License, but:
It's TOTALLY cool ;-D

That is SOOO cruel.  Almost as Evil as Fermat and his hypothetical last

I'm going to be wondering and waiting for *months* now!!!
