Hi there,
so far I only posted this on the official boards, but seeing many devs are still exclusively active here, you may find this interesting, too.
PNDTools (in the lack of a better name)
is a simple and easy-to-understand GUI for opening, browsing, editing and creating PND files and
NEW NEW NEW
you can also view, edit and create PXML files with it (WIP, please send me feedback, see below).
What does it do?- It can open a PND and display its contents in a tree structure
- You can then extract data from the PND or add new stuff
- It extracts the PXML and icon data
- You can create a new PND from scratch or modify an existing one and save the result again as a PND
- GUI for viewing and editing the PXML file (beta)
- It has options
What does it currently not do? (aka things on the todo-list)- Parsing of the PXML file and validation check
- It does not work with PNDs using the ISO filesystem (and I don't see a good reason for why it needs to do so as SquashFS is the superior FS imo)
- It only extracts PNG icon data (although probably 99% of the icons are PNG)
- PXML "wizard" for creating a quick-and-dirty PXML suitable for most cases with an easier (non-tree based) GUI
- better PXML element interface (buttons instead of a drop-down)
- context menu for adding PXML elements
- options for chosing the default PND extraction path (use program's folder, use user specified folder, ask every time for location)
- Linux version (I am trying to set-up Lazarus, but I can't get the Virtual Tree View component to compile :S )
- keeping the cmd open after executing chmod or squashtools
What will it (probably) never do?- Have a browsing interface as good as 7-zip's and the same functionality
This is a beta release, so a lot of bugs are to be expected and the program has a few known "quirks":- Currently it calls chmod 755 on all the PND data to ensure all necessary files are given the "executable" flag, this works, but obviously is not the "nice" way to do it
- It only loads PNG icons from a PND
- You will need to place it somewhere it has direct write access or execute the Program as administrator
- It needs half of the cygwin dlls and the cygwin chmod because Windows does not know the "executable" file-flag (well it does, but modifying it is complicated and calling chmod was easier to do for now)
- Only for Windows atm!
- Drag&Drop is always recursive
- You cannot replace files in a PND, trying to do so will simply result in no change. Delete the old files and add the new ones as a temporary work-around (this is also why moving nodes sometimes does not seem to work)
- When creating a PXML file you have to create the HF5 compatibility elements (title and description) first (second respective entry in the drop-down) and then the grouped HF6 elements
Download it here (Windows only, ZIP, 2MB)
To "install" just extract the contents of the archive anywhere (the program will have write access, see above).
Current version: 0.3.5beta, built 22.07.2011
This is the beta version (PXMLTools branch), but core functionality is not affected, it just adds the WIP PXML editor.
Source: Public GIT --- ZIP (last-update 05.06.2011, master)
Media:
---The main interface---|---PXML Editor---
How it works:
When creating a PND no actual data is handled until you press the "Create PND" button, after which it will copy all data to a folder called "temp" and then call chmod and mksquashfs on that.
When opening a PND it will extract (unsquashfs) the contents to a folder called "temp2" and add that folder to the tree-view, also it extracts the PXML and icon to a folder called "meta".
If you want to access the data contained in the PND you can simply copy it from those folders.
The folders are located next to the program exe and will be wiped before each respective operation.
It is safe to remove those folders if you want to clear temporary data.
Please try it, but be careful when doing so - I am not to be held responsible when data is lost or damaged, make back-ups.
---
The PXML editor is not very user-friendly at the moment, but I wanted to focus on getting all the functionality in there and the next step will be creating a proper interface (especially for adding elements). I plan to make most of it context sensitive.
For the moment just open an existing PXML file or create a new one from scratch, select elements to add from the drop-down box (those saying package will be added to the package element, those saying application...) and click "add".
Multiple application elements are supported as well as every other part of the specification (HF6) - to add elements to a specific application element, just select it or a child node of it.
In order to add multiple categories and sub-categories you will have to create the category first, select it (which should happen automatically) and then add the sub-category.
To edit an element just select it from the tree-view, all attributes will be displayed on the right.
Attributes with a grey name text (startdir= for example) or the ones saying (optional) are optional and can be left blank, the rest should be filled in order for the PXML to work.
There currently is no proper validation part, except for the edit fields only allowing certain chars and a maximum number of elements can be created.
Required attributes, elements or faulty ones won't be reported. (yet)
To remove elements right click on them and select "delete".
The description part displays help and information about the currently selected element, it also has some information about the attributes, allowed data, recommended data, etc. So read that if you don't know what to do.
Any bug report, feature request, layout request, general comment or anything else is greatly appreciated
Also the program currently uses the default Delphi-icon, which looks pretty shitty, a proper replacement icon would be great

Newly released for Caanoo
Here’s a port of UBYTE’s Gameboy / Gameboy Color emulator for the Caanoo. Extract the OhBoy folder and ini file to the “game” directory on your SD.
I've readapted the sources made available by renejr902. I've added a "no scaler" option in order to be able to play the gb without resizing the pixels and play at the original resolution (160x144)
it's tiny on the screen but the display is very sharp !
Controls have been remapped too.
Sources included.

This is a direct port of the last Wiz build of OutcaST, with some very minor improvements. (A couple more menus have better 'selection speed', so the selection isn't zooming around as much.. notably in the Control Mode menu.)
Hopefully it performs better than when run as a Wiz binary under Ginge; sound is probably still nasty as I was never really good at working out the ST sound hardware, but hopefully better than under Ginge again
Get the emu here for now:
http://www.codejedi.com/caanoo/outcast-caanoo-104.zip
Unpack into your /game directory on your ST (ie: /game/outcast.ini and /game/outcast/random-stuff should exist.)
You'll want to read the README.txt, but in general..
Create /roms
Create /roms/atari-st
Stick your TOS.ROM Atari ST OS file into /roms/atari-st (it must be TOS.ROM, not ToS.RoM or TOS.IMG or anything other than TOS.ROM, case sensitive.)
Stick .ST or .MSA or .zip disk images into /roms/atari-st as well.
It should run nicely from your Caanoo menu, and the run-script will attempt to run the Caanoo menu on exit or crash. (You can edit this to be gmenu if you like, if you've not just replaced your Caanoo menuw ith gmenu
Please let me know how it goes, and..
Enjoy!
jeff

<IMPORTANT MESSAGE>
http://www.mediafire.com/?e5zojg6v2h19ypd
I have updated it and have increased the deadzone and changed the default settings in order to make it a bit more usable, so use the binary in the above link in conjunction with the archive on openhandhelds until it is updated there. If anyone wants me to send them a binary with default configurations of their choosing, please send me a pm with your email address and a list of the default options you want, and send me the colour scheme values in hexadecimal if you want a different colour scheme.
</IMPORTANT MESSAGE>
About three days ago, I was unsatisfied with running Milkytracker 0.90.80 in Ginge, so I decided to port version 0.90.85 to the Caanoo. (My first port)
Controls are as follows:
Touch screen tap: left mouse button
Touch screen hold: right mouse button
Touch screen drag: selection
Button A: left mouse button
Button B: tab
Button X: backspace
Button Y: delete
Joystick movement: mouse movement
Help I: start playback
Help II: toggle recording mode
Home: stop playback
Button L: nothing
Button R: nothing
Joystick click: nothing
hold: lock the screen
You can plug in a USB keyboard if you want. USB mice have not been tested. Oh, and did I mention that TV output works?
Bugs:
Exiting does not work.
Program may crash when setting a predefined colour in the layout section in the configuration screen.
Does not save options on exit. Maybe that's because exiting doesn't work.
Todo:
Key combos (ie. L + A = left arrow key)
Fix exiting
I've included one of my (unfinished) XMs (halo.xm) as well as a few I found on modarchive.org.
I've also made quite a few banners so you can choose which one you like the most.

via http://hackaday.com/2011/07/22/addin...-open-pandora/
There’s very few users out there who actually have their hands on an Open Pandora Console. But the ones who do might find this hack useful for getting TV out up and running. It’s actually not hard at all, but if you don’t want to alter the hardware on the device you’ll first have to find a cable plug that will fit the EXT jack. This proved more difficult than it needed to be, since TI carries the connector but only sells them in multiples of 2200. A group buy was organized and we’d bet you can still get in on that action.
The connector in question carries TVout1 and TVout2 conductors. These correspond to the Luminance and Chrominance signals needed for the S-video protocol. But [MarkoeZ] wanted to use a composite connection. Turns out that’s not hard either, he hooked up the ground from the plug to the ground of the RCA jack, then connected both video lines to the center conductor, making sure to add an inline 470pf capacitor on the Chrominance side. Check out the demo video embedded after the break to see the final product.

News via http://boards.openpandora.org/index....ng-2011-07-22/
According to CircuitCo, they shipped the first batch of fully tested and working boards a few days ago (along with a couple of new nubs for me so I can do more replacements myself).
They haven't given us any information yet how many they shipped, so I can't tell you much about that.
The boards should arrive next week, so that's when we know the amount for sure
It also seems they have some clue of why WiFi failed on so many boards, we're waiting for their conclusion - and you can be sure I'll let you know.
Moving the production to Germany is also making progress. Some companies are working on the quotation (takes about 3 - 4 weeks, it's complicated board) and I'm visiting one promising-looking company near Munich next Wednesday.
If I'm allowed to take pictures of their production site, I'll post some as well here.
As mentioned I'm working together with the GTA04 guys. We found our devices share quite a few parts, which mean we can probably order together in the future to save time and money as well.
I'm doing another newspost for sure on Wednesday after the meeting to tell you how it went.
