Pandora Hotfix Pack II (WIP) (Pandora misc)

EvilDragon of the Pandora dev team released a wip version of the second hotfix pack for the Pandora.

Release notes:

I just finished packing up HotFix Pack 2 for our current OS. I tested it and it works fine for me – but before releasing it to the public, I want some more guys to test it out ๐Ÿ™‚ So please be aware to NOT TRY THIS OUT UNLESS YOU ARE AWARE YOU MIGHT NEED TO REFLASH YOUR UNIT IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG! (unlikely, but you never know).

HotFix 2 also includes all fixes from Hotfix 1, so there’s not need to install HotFix 1 on a freshly installed OS.

To install, put the PND-File into /pandora/menu on your SD Card and run the pack from the System-Menu. After it has been installed, you can delete the PND from the card.

Please let me know if everything works. The following things are included in the pack:

Hotfix 1:
* Kernel: Fixed a bug that caused the Linux Systemtimer to halt sometimes
* Included missing packages: python-shell_2.6.4, python-pygtk_2.16.0, python-pycairo_1.4.0, gnome-vfs-plugin-http_2.24.1, gnome-vfs-plugin-ftp_2.24.1

Hotfix 2:
* Bluetooth: Disabling and restoring state on startup now working properly
* XFCE4: When switching from MiniMenu to XFCE4, the settings are now properly loaded
* Brightness-State: When shutting down, a brightness level of 0 is not saved
* MiniMenu: Fixed caching and closed a memory leak
* WiFi: LEDs now working
* Kernel: Video: don’t force waiting for refresh
* MiniMenu: XFCE4-Apps now included in MiniMenu
* Automount: SD Cards are now mounted with noatime and umask 0 so that all users can access the cards properly. Added lazy unmount.
* New: Boost, Lua5.1 and Evince
* New: Script to change the LCD refresh rate from 50 / 60 Hz (ideal for emulators)
* Some typo fixes and general tweaks

PSX4Pandora (08-06-2010) (PSX emu for Pandora)

PSX4Pandora makes its debut to the OpenPandora console! Thanks to ZodTTD ( http://www.zodttd.com ) for this! PSX4Pandora is a Playstation 1 (PSX) emulator, for those who don’t know.

Release notes:

Updated psx4pandora build. Not on AppStore just yet, should be up soon.

– Added frame limiting and show FPS options. Frame limiting on by default.
– Improved sound syncing/output.
– Improved audio timings.
– Added mapping to Q / P keys for L2 / R2 triggers respectively.
– Removed accidental hardcoded 600MHz overclock setting in PND packaging.
– Faster? You tell me. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Remember to mention overclock settings.

I couldn’t fix the fact it scales without aspect ratio in mind. This is due to using fbset which scaler desn’t seem to take into effect margins with -left -right. Will need to confirm that.

Try this build out. I really had fun with it with the games I tested.

openMSX v0.8.0 (MSX emu for Dingoo Linux)

openMSX is one the most advanced emulators of MSX, an 8-bit home computer system from the 80’s for which many great games exist. Compared to the preview version, this version starts up much quicker, has a more responsive and better designed OSD menu and has a virtual keyboard.

PSX4Pandora (07-06-2010) (PSX emu for Pandora)

PSX4Pandora makes its debut to the OpenPandora console! Thanks to ZodTTD ( http://www.zodttd.com ) for this! PSX4Pandora is a Playstation 1 (PSX) emulator, for those who don’t know.

Release notes:

Hi everyone,

With tons of pressure built up as Pandora’s are making their way to people here, I must be honest in saying I’ve been way behind in psx4pandora development. I have spent the past while working on it though.

While I chat, download the PND file (approval probably coming shortly for the appstore) here:
http://www.zodttd.com/downloads/psx4pandora.pnd

How to install:
1. Place the pnd in the SD card’s directory: /pandora/apps/
2. Stick the SD card in your Pandora and on the desktop you will see the psx4pandora app. Run it and choose EXIT with the B button.
3. Now that the appdata directory is created on your SD card at /pandora/appdata/psx4pandora-1/ copy the PSX BIOS file scph1001.bin (all lowercase!) and your games (BIN,IMG,ISO,Z) to that directory.
4. Run psx4pandora and choose to Load A Game. Note that loading without a BIOS isn’t supported currently. Play on.

What needs work:
1. The menu system! There’s a command line interface available though for a frontend if available.
2. Audio. I’m not buffering it properly. Will fix.

What may be broken:
1. Loading/Saving via memory cards. Let me know!
2. Loading/Saving via save states. Wouldn’t be surprised atm, but let me know. ๐Ÿ˜‰
3. Frameskip causing flickering and odd graphic glitches. This is a known issue and is due to skipping the rendering of elements used in double buffering.

How to access the in-game menu: Press SPACE.

How to exit the app completely: My traditional press ABXY+L+R

How to press L2/R2 psx triggers: Press L/R on the Pandora then press SPACE. Will need a better solution.

Bring on the feedback and let’s get this polished up.

Thanks,
ZodTTD
