May 25 2022 23:59:13 UTC: EvilDragon: I also don't see any reason to update the screen. The LCD is pretty good, the resolution perfect for the size.

May 23 2022 09:31:49 UTC: EvilDragon: Well, yes, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you mostly want it for gaming / emulators, then there's the GPD Win series or also a lot of chinese handhelds. If you want a nice Linux Mini PC, the GPD Micro PC is actually pretty nice. But true, they are not exactly what the Pyra aims...
May 22 2022 09:26:01 UTC: EvilDragon: The Rk3399 is years old, so it uses more power. It's the old flagship from Rockchip. The new one is the RK3588.
May 21 2022 16:58:16 UTC: EvilDragon: No, everything should be enabled, and it looks like the Wifi hardware is there. Aaahhh... that reminds me... I think we once had a U-Boot / MLO combination that sometimes for some reason had a non-working USB! Could be the MLO / U-Boot we had on our flasher card was that old one! I need to...
May 21 2022 16:42:35 UTC: EvilDragon: They are usually not available, they're made exclusively for the RasPi. AND it runs hot and needs cooling.
May 21 2022 15:56:06 UTC: EvilDragon: Hm, Askarus assembled these Pyras, I hope he didn't forget to check the wifi in these. It could also be a bug in the current image, as I have not yet tested it myself. Can you check the kernel log if there is anything about the wl driver? Some timeouts or communication errors. dmesg |...
May 21 2022 14:43:05 UTC: EvilDragon: The RK3568 is about as fast as the Raspberry Pi 4. For emulators which often run single core, it shouldn't be a lot faster than the OMAP5, but it should use significantly less power. The Cortex A15 IS a beast, it's a lot more powerful than most here think, but it's only 32bit and the OMAP5 has...
May 21 2022 13:02:41 UTC: EvilDragon: It wasn't an upgrade to a new major version, I only do security updates until the software I use (in this case Xenforo) gets a new major version as well, as in this case I need to retest everything anyways. No idea why, but for some reason the security update disabled the cache which was the...
May 21 2022 12:34:53 UTC: EvilDragon: Hmm, maybe the Rk3588 would be better? it costs 5x as much as the RK35688 (so about 100 EUR) and I'm not sure about the heating. well, a consumer version exists, so it should work reasonably well with passive cooling.
May 20 2022 12:25:07 UTC: EvilDragon: Well, I think that's an issue with all high-power devices: The more the battery is stressed, the shorter it lives. Combined with the higher temperatures these devices have, batteries won't last that long
May 19 2022 13:58:41 UTC: EvilDragon: Well, they have improved, the later devices are getting better batteries (the GPD Win 1 one was horrible), but yeah, they die pretty easy. Probably because the devices produce a lot of heat AND they really suck a LOT of power from the batteries.
May 19 2022 13:00:26 UTC: EvilDragon: Yes, the upper part stays exactly the same. I'm not sure how easily the sticker can be removed. It won't tear, but you probably need a bit of glue to reattach it and you will visible see that it had been removed already. It's on the PCB, so not attached anywhere on the case. They're easy to...
May 19 2022 11:50:47 UTC: EvilDragon: Nice find :) And yeah, stuff like Ar Tonelic could work well. Though we don't know how much that will heat up the CPU :)
May 19 2022 11:26:48 UTC: EvilDragon: I doubt that, as there's no mobile SoC out there that can do proper PlayStation 2 yet. Yes, the x86 can, but these won't work with a way bigger battery and active cooling fan...
May 19 2022 10:06:47 UTC: EvilDragon: It's an Australian Shepherd. And I usually say "Jetzt ists gut", so he shouldn't understand "It's okay"... but he understands quite a lot, he often does surprise me :) The storage is on the CPU board, so the Debian installation for the OMAP5 will stay untouched on the CPU board. I think some...
May 18 2022 13:32:58 UTC: EvilDragon: Umm... I never hat that issue before :O But if you don't mind opening it, there might be a nice fix for you: Remove the cap on top of the power button to lower it so you can't accidentally hit it :)
May 18 2022 13:17:46 UTC: Repo: Pandysea (o2em) - 1.18.1.2 - Update
May 18 2022 11:24:37 UTC: EvilDragon: Quick question, as I still have 10 Phytiums left I want to sell: What power supply do you guys use? I know that one customer pointed out that the included one is too weak and leads to crashes, but which ones have you been using that works reliable?
May 18 2022 11:23:21 UTC: EvilDragon: Well, there are multiple things. Back then, I was the one posting regular news, updates, congregating all the stuff out there, creating the file archives, etc. I started as a simple news poster at gp32x.com but did a lot more later on. I also was the voice of the Pandora stuff, the guy...
May 18 2022 11:01:56 UTC: EvilDragon: There are not cases left, they're discontinued. I have a few single parts left, but no full case sets :(
May 18 2022 11:00:46 UTC: EvilDragon: It's not new, it's pretty old :) @mcobit built it years ago when we released the Pyra at the Gamescom :)
May 18 2022 10:59:54 UTC: EvilDragon: Because we don't want to have any security holes in there. This could also been caused by forum updates. For me, the system still shows the last post I've read when I click on the thread....? I didn't find anything that's broken yet, but is there a thread where people reported these issues?
May 18 2022 02:16:30 UTC: EvilDragon: Pyra News - May 2022
May 18 2022 02:11:38 UTC: Official News: Assembly restart. Software work. And maybe our next SoC?
May 18 2022 02:10:48 UTC: EvilDragon: The 3588 is too big and too hot. It's not meant for small handheld devices.
May 18 2022 02:08:06 UTC: EvilDragon: Hm, does that still happen? I noticed that an update borked the PHP config last week, making everything horribly slow. But it seems fine for me at th emoment.
May 18 2022 02:06:38 UTC: EvilDragon: The modem is something that we need to work on! It seems that some got it to work - while others didn't get it to work. Now that some users have their Pyra, we can gather some informations on what the issue could be. Keep an eye on the "General information and Bug Tracker" section within the...
