i have made the decision to uninstall FpseCE
i love playing my old PSX games on my HD2, after reading the readme and following its instructions to the letter, it worked first time
the app i have no gripe with, yes it could be better but the developers have lives away from their PC's and cant dedicate all their time to satisfying my gaming fix.
On the HD2 with its MAHOOOSIVE screen, portable gaming has been a wonderful experience... Granturismo2, resi evil 2 and 3, tekken etc etc
*But*
1/ i am getting nothing done.
2/ the house is falling apart.
3/ the car has been sat on the drive for six months purely because it has a flat tyre.
4/ i keep missing my stops on buses and trains.
5/ i've fallen behind at work.
6/ the dog keeps coming to me with its bowl in its mouth like it wants something...id give it more attention if i could just beat this level!
7/ more importantly i'm single again...so will have to take up the chore of finding another female of our species in which to grow my brood.
on the plus side...
1/ i finally got 100% completion in GT2
erm, thats about it really...
so FpseCE is going, i must find something to feed my gaming fix in the mean time (like nicorette patches for smokers)
any ideas?
Wow, I've never finished GT2 on the PSX.. you got me interested!
its not easy! the licenses and endurance events are impossible without an external controller!
at least, they were for me and my clumsy hands lol
id just got back into resi-evil 2 im thinking i should at least finish that before uninstalling...
Hi there, are u using the supporters version? to enable multi-touch on our beloved HD2s? im considering getting the supporters version as well. though i wont be playing anything too time consuming. maybe metal slug or some fighting games. lol. does the multi-touch work well? do the controls work well? i know on the normal version its really hard to activate the buttons n all. lol

if you have an hd2 it is totally worth donating. its not much to ask for the years of hard work put into this emulator and the features you will have with the supporter version are a must have on HD2.
Yep, I love FpseCE. It's awesome, I basically got the HD2 for it. I find the controls ok, but I think I would struggle with fast paced games.
For Gran Truismo 2, the OP is right, getting gold in all the liscenses with the onscreen buttons would be impossible, but they are suitable for most races.
I play a lot of FF7, 8 and 9 as well, and perfect timing for the controls are not a big deal. This is where it comes into it's own.
I picked up the supporter version straight away, 5eur is nothing for what you are getting. I found a few games dont work, Metal Gear Solid is one, which is a pain but I think the developer is working on getting it up. Theme hospital is another that doesn't work that great.
On a side note, the developer seems to favour the HD2s, a lot of his time seems to be specifically developing for our device as it is so awesome and popular.

It's not too bad to do mate. Any help required, the FPSECE forums will help you out. There is a specific section for the HD2 and it's one of the most active sections of the website. The community is pretty helpful in general.
there is a dedicated thread for HD2 on there forum check it out no link cause im on me phone on the bus, but therw is a guy on that yhread he is awesome answers for any question.
cheers guys, will check it out, am i right in thinking the general concept is similar to mounting an ISO image using something like daemon tools on a PC?

Yeah kindof, except it runs an emulator to actually read the data. The developer provides another tool called pocket ISO I think. This compresses the ISO's obtained from PSX disks to a smaller size and actually increases performance. Not sure of the math behind it, maybe stores the data in a way that FpseCE can access it better. Either way, smaller ISO files and more FPS. I am by no means an expert but if you get stuck, you could fire me a quick PM and I'll see what I can do.
Essentially you install the free version, install the supporter version, download the "HD2 pack" available from the forum under the HD2 section of the forum (sorry, no link, the site is banned at my work)
Pop the ISOs on you're memory card, and fire it up. Easy as that really, that's all I had to do.

Hi,
The "ASUS Eee Pad Transformer" looks like a good tablet for me.
It's a netbook and a tablet in one computer.
But I don't like Android as a desktop OS, so I wonder if it was possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 or another Linux dist on the device with a functional touch screen?
The device has USB, right? So it must be possible to boot a Linux dist compiled for the architecture from a USB key?
It would be so nice!
In concept yes. Will it be a usable implementation? Probably not.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing to dual boot into Linux Mint.
My guess is that it would be theoretically possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 "Netbook" addition as it is aimed at ARM architecture. Tegra 2 apparently supports Ubuntu which should make this easier. The screen also has the perfect resolution to run Ubuntu as well.
11.04 is released Tomorrow right?

They may only have preinstall images for TI chips. I've looked into the betas, and they have a compress partition that has to be uncompressed on the first boot. But the boot is in a fat32 partition with a kernel for the TI arm chip and uboot.
It should be possible.
Some work was done on getting Ubuntu up and running on a Toshiba AC100, which is a Tegra-2 based "smartbook" running Android (see here for details).
However, IMO a version of NVFlash that works on the Transformer will be required before this can be taken much further.
Regards,
Dave

It's not a desktop OS. With the keyboard dock, it's still just a netbook. Netbooks aren't really supposed to be as 'functional' as desktops. If you want desktop functionality, get a desktop or a large laptop.
Netbooks and now tablets are what I refer to as 'compromise' devices. You compromise power and function for portability and convenience. If you need more than a tablet or netbook can provide, you need to be shopping bigger.

I know that netbooks ain't made for hardcore tasks like gaming, photo- or video editing, but I find Android (have only tried 2.x) too limited for netbook use.
On my current netbook I like a full Linux desktop, so I browse the web, check mails, use LibreOffice, use VLC and other light activities and I really can't way I shouldn't be allowed to get the real PC experience on a netbook if the hardware specs allows it? Especially when new user interfaces like Unity that is perfect for tablets and small screens have been released.
I've spotted this new device. I Think that the ARM-version of Ubuntu used on this device will be public avaible and I hope that it's possible to install it on the Asus Eee Transformer.

//edit, getting an arm version of debian/ubuntu aint the issue. The issue is graphics. Now as I've posted earlier on this forum, nvidia has released linux4tegra. Although unsupported, it has a tegra_drv for xorg.
Can someone explain to me why peeps keep wanting to install Ubuntu onto their phones/tablets? I mean isn't it more usable to just install it on a netbook? I understand for some people its just the fun in the challenge of cramming it in to another device but is there any other use for Ubuntu on a tablet like the TF?

If I can start up an app that connects to localhost and gives me access to everything from advanced networking/software development tools/image editing and conversion tools/movie editing/diagnostics/etc/etc/etc/etc. Why wouldn't I want to? I can have a device which instead of being locked to android apps also has a MASSIVE library of tools that's been developed over many many years.
And they are not designed for touchscreen, but guess what, this tablet has a keyboard and a touchpad

I for one don't have and don't want a netbook or laptop. I prefer using one device (a tablet in this case with a keyboard or keyboard dock) for many purposes. It's cheaper for me and I have much less things to carry / charge / store etc.

Eclipse is an IDE made by ibm, development started 2001, and it's still being developed today.
I dont think you realize what your saying when you say "just develop an IDE".

Not even! Check out the Samsung X120 ( I have one ) and the Acer Ferrari One 200 ( I have one of these too! )
Dual core+ netbooks have NO problems running full desktop applications at the same time as multi-tab browsing...
Running Microsoft Server 2008 or Windows 7.
I've run Adobe Premier rendering video at the same time as Office 2010 along with Chrome running 20 tabs and 3DS MAX 2011 open no lag..
The X120 has a 5 hour+ battery life too, the newer i3 and i5 and even i7 based Netbooks are no compromise on desktop performance.
I even have a HDMI out and VGA out on the X120...
Anyways, the sooner we get / make Android 3.0+ based tablets dual boot Ubuntu 11 the better... Then tablets can finally act as both development work horses and Android tabs...

In a nut shell, imagine the portability of a tablet with the power of all the items with Ubuntu..years of apps and developement along with the ability to sit on "the THRONE" if you know what I mean.... the tablet is evolutionary for the fact it is just another device, I do not know if you use Ubuntu, if you do then a question is not why but when and how. Also, you have a option when / if / Ubuntu does come to the transformer, don't use it. Great development does not happen by asking why it should, great development comes by asking why the hell not. Just my 2 cents worth.'

I would be interested in seeing Meego in action on a tablet.
What is Meego?
Meego is a linux based OS that uses the Qt framework (C++) for the UI. There is already a lot of apps that are compatible with the platform.
Now THIS I can totally dig. I was eager for it on the Desire Z, and maybe on my Inspire 4g, but DEFINITELY would love this on a tablet. Praying that some of the super talented devs hop on this.
this would indeed be very cool, i would be willing to part with some cash to whomever can get this working
Just curious, this is the same as the new Nokia N9 is getting right? The OS that's designed around 3 screens, and looks totally awesome?! If it is, here's a better look at it.
I hope so, I think the TF would run this incredibly and it would just be pure win. The Nokia N9 only has a 1GHz (i think) single core, and the TF has a dual core, which is easily clocked to 1.7 GHz. I really hope this can happen.
A little off topic, but MeeGo sounds a lot like a UI that was posted in the Android section, but was dropped because the developers couldn't get around a few bumps. I think it was called Kite UI or something like that..

N9 has a custom user interface. It doesn't even run standard Meego, from what I remember. Standard Meego UI doesn't look as nice as n9's UI. Also, n9 has a smaller screen and resolution, so it probably won't look good on 10 in screen.

Dang, I'm really liking the N9. It's a really nice looking phone and a sleek OS. Too bad Verizon and Nokia don't play nice.
Thanks for the news, but the title of the post is bit confusing, don't you think ? From what I understood, nVidia released a set of drivers for a mini PC product called trimslice (running ubuntu ??), which also happens to have a Mego port (which can benefit from those drivers) . But they didn’t release it for the transformer, nor there is any mego port for the transformer, so this release has nothing to do with the transformer.... (as the title suggest )
Yaaay! I just wish I had more time to try and make Gentoo run... To all "We have ubuntu now" people:
1) The current Ubuntu image doesn't have these drivers
2) These drivers aren't guaranteed work with Ubuntu's patched kernel
3) I don't like Ubuntu

I would question the concept of a slim full functional gentoo release on an processor like this. While there are likely enough binaries to get you by, the concept of the compile your own distribution with special optimizations would make it difficult to do against the transformer. Been a while since I was using gentoo so maybe there is a full functional small installation model now but not sure how well it would work for a tablet.
The Meego OS
The Meego OS has been around a while and is an established companion on all the major brand netbooks/laptops/tablets as an instant on option as it boots in around 5 seconds under the guise of Splashtop OS. you can download meego/splashtop at any time from the website and there is an sku for almost anything even tablets, i run splashtop as a dual boot with win7 for when i just fancy listening to music or surfing the web. Just google meego or Splashtop
alpha
OK so it this ready or being ported to the transformer? I order me a Transformer yesterday and would love Meego/xbmc on this thing.. i have meego/xbmc on my netbook but on a tablet would be KILLER..
Hi, I have been waiting and waiting for an Android device to incorporate WACOM but the only one so far is the lenovo thinkpad....so I was wondering a few things:
1) If you have one...is the pen pressure and all that very very good like it is on other wacom devices??
2) Although I have been considering this device, I am still stuck with wanting Windows or some other operating system that will let me draw and edit on programs such as GIMP or Photoshop etc.....so ...my next question is: If I get a windows based tablet with WACOM capabilities, would it be possible to have a full functioning Android OS installed that will be able to use the multi-touch capabilities as well as the WACOM pen input?? If so, what is the quality when using the Android OS? Does it work flawlessly? Can you have other features such as forward and rear camera functionality...etc??
3) Pretty much here is what I want and you tell me if you know it exists or if you think it can be done by installing certain things.
* Some major OS..(windows, mac, linux, etc) that can use full-fledged programs for graphic art..etc...
* Has multi-touch as well as Wacom capabilities
* Has cameras
* Will have Android OS as well as above OS and Android will work just like it does on the phones and tablets.
Pretty much I want android and only OS for major applications that can't be done on android......
Maybe I'm dreaming (along with everyone else) but I thought I might stop in and ask the Pros ....
Thanks
My nephew who is an exceptional artist and draws amazing portraits and abstract images using sketch book on his sprint HTC Android phone (not blowing smoke he uses his fingers to perform all the intricate details) went nuts when I showed him my TPT. He said it felt great and he would not let it go through the holiday visit. He gave it two thumbs up. Coming from him says a lot. I am sure it won't compare to WACOM hardware but he drew a nice abstract piece on my tablet using sketch book pro. My jaw dropped I could not believe he did this using my TPT.

Cellphones/Android tablets have ARM based processors.
Laptops/Desktops have x86/x64 based processors.
Android is an ARM based OS.
Windows is x86 or x64 based OS.
Windows 8 will have both ARM and x86/64 based iterations.
At the current point there is no way to run windows and android on the same device unless you use an emulator like bluestack(which prolly won't run many android apps). Windows 8 will be able to run on ARM devices (if you can unlock the bootloader and find the right drivers) but in the meantime your best bet will be either remote desktop (which allows you to remotely access your x86/64 machine) or ubuntu (which has been recompiled for ARM... if you can find the drivers).
Honestly, the art programs for android are amazing. You may not need windows as badly as you think.
Sketchbook Pro
Photoshop Mobile
Doodleroid
Sketch n Draw
yea thanks...i actually have sketchbook pro and I really like it but as far as photo editing...what is equivalent to photoshop or gimp (i use gimp bc photoshop is too expensive for me since its only a hobby)....
also what would be the best android device for pressure sensitivity and as close to wacom as possible?
I came upon somehting that I think beats ntrig possibly.... called the IPEN....currently it doesn't support pressure sensitivity but the IPEN 2 will....then they have a PENBOOK but I don't know about getting another windows device...i really like android but would be willing to get an IPAD if I could get the IPEN2 because its only supported on Ipads (apple stuff) or the PENBOOk......look up the vids for it...its pretty darn cool....
see i'm desperate to find what I want here w/i the next month bc its tax season ....and any other time I can't warrant spending that much money

Samsung will release the next Galaxy Tab with the S-Pen, which is made by Wacom.
Just wait a few more weeks. It will definitely be worth it! The IPEN solution looks OK, but will only work with the included software and you can't get around the stupid limitations of iOS (for example no way to export files other than mailing them to yourself).
The N-Trig pen actually works quite well, but has its quirks (like all N-Trig products).
I'm very confident that the Samsung + Wacom combination will be by far the best solution.

When does the Samsung with s pen come out? I haven't seen that anywhere...o heard that they wanted to use out for future releases but didn't see any plans...can you send me a link please?
I called samsung but they didn't know about it
It's not official, but confirmed by a Samsung executive. No release dates, but MWC is a good guess. Maybe a bit later. Either way, I think it's worth the wait, because it's MUCH better than N-Trig or iPen.
"I think a pen interface continues to make a lot of sense across a number of screen sizes, like the larger is more obvious of those. That’s about as specific as I can be without announcing a product."

Hi, i just made my account today
Anyways, i saw Ubuntu Touch the other day and i got instantly hooked, i really want it on my Galaxy J320F but nobody has ported Ubuntu Touch to the phone and i even want to know if its even possible.
If yes, i will try and port it and post the result on this post.
Porting ubuntu touch for SD phones are hard, and makes the phone slower, now for the spreadtrum/exynos will be more harder due to incompatibility or being super slow.
i dont think it will be possible.
