| fishbulb | man i miss this phone | 15:45 |
| fishbulb | if it loaded modern websites it'd be perfect. so much for linux being the solution to everything oin the world | 15:48 |
| Vajb | I thought Android is based on Linux... | 15:50 |
| fishbulb | android is linux lite | 15:53 |
| fishbulb | there's a linux kernel and java on top. it's not full linux | 15:54 |
| fishbulb | but the touches like this keyboard. actually that and battery life are the only things i miss. the keyboard layout and secondary functions are so well thought out | 15:54 |
| fishbulb | i can speculate on how they designed the keyboard. keypushes or a typing keymap then put the most used secondary buttons in the easiest to reach place. i keep debating whether to get a germ an keyboard for my thinkpad now i live in germany. there is no umlaut key or the other letters | 16:00 |
| fishbulb | dvorak is the best keyboard for typing. this one is an edison style disaster, like it just got patented first | 16:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | The main issue i have with none qwerty layouts is jumping on other machines. | 16:26 |
| fishbulb | sixwheeledbeast yeah i don't use them, but it takes a minute to realise learningto type would be so much faster using dvorak | 17:26 |
| fishbulb | what is the output of this keyboard | 17:26 |
| fishbulb | like i2c or... something else? | 17:26 |
| fishbulb | the hardware side must have some controller for the keyboard somewhere and i would AssUme it had a standard. | 17:26 |
| bencoh | I personally wouldn't assume it has a standard other the fact that it's eventually plugged to the event (evdev / inputevent) subsystem | 17:30 |
| bencoh | (if referring to keyboard integration in the embedded world) | 17:31 |
| fishbulb | yes | 17:46 |
| fishbulb | so you would think these buttons go to (something embedded) | 17:49 |
| fishbulb | i saw a hackadsy post ages ago about a game controller for emulators for this. they had some buttons and a joystick. that makes me think it's a keyboard with a standard. i don't remember the details | 17:49 |
| fishbulb | possible it was all usb or just switches replacing these ones | 18:03 |
| fishbulb | does anyone here use emulators? | 18:06 |
| fishbulb | there's got to be a cool use for this thing. maybe a pocket text adventure thing. but i can't find any that work. | 18:15 |
| bencoh | pcsx-rearmed works quite well | 18:20 |
| bencoh | (PS1 emulation) | 18:20 |
| bencoh | the fbalpha arcade emulator port is decent as well (although a bit broken here and there and highly inacurrate emulation-wise, and N900 is not always powerful enough to emulates arcade games) | 18:22 |
| bencoh | iirc there are quite a few textadv engines/emulators as well | 18:22 |
| bencoh | and I kinda remember there is a GB emulator that can run almost at gamespeed (it does, but sound emulations slows it down a tiny bit afaict) | 18:23 |
| fishbulb | playstation one doesn't have any games i'd want to play | 18:24 |
| fishbulb | the text adventures maybe but if i'm using my time with games i want them to be good. | 18:24 |
| fishbulb | i have nintendo ds handhelds because you can make music with them. they have gameboy emulaors i think. i'm trying to think of what to use this for. there's no rush, i had it for years and it doesn't take up much space | 18:32 |
| fishbulb | there will be something interesting to do, maybe it will involve python | 18:32 |
| Vajb | i use drnoksnes. Works well for most of the snes games | 18:33 |
| Vajb | about the controller, I saw analog controller what was just overlay on top of regular keyboard pressing regular buttons | 18:35 |
| fishbulb | that's hardly even a hack. i don't read hackaday anymore, it used to be cool but I think the tijme is past | 19:14 |
