GP2X portable game console

Posted in Linux at 12:59 am by are

My new toy, the GP2X! A handheld game console running Linux.

This beauty runs every emulator you can think of, C64, Amiga, Dosbox, Mame, Snes, Sega, etc etc. This means tons of games… and fun fun fun.

It looks like this:

Runs on two AA batterys and has a SD-card slot. I’m using a 4GB card now, lots of space.

Some games I have tried, and is working great:
Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein 3D, Keen 1-2-3, Monkey Island (+other scummvm games), BubbleBubble, Duke Nukem 3D, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Bros, Outrun 2, Arkanoid 2, Street Fighter … well, you get the picture.

It can also play movies and mp3… and really anything as long as you can compile the linux program for ARM920 cpu.

Getting Filmtrailers from FilmWeb into FreeVo

Posted in Freevo at 12:18 am by are

FilmWeb is a Norwegian movie site. They have a lot of movie trailers there, along with the premiere date here in Norway.
I have created a php-script that crawls the FilmWeb site and creates FXD-files with url’s, summary and picture. In FreeVo you can then browse all the new trailers and watch then streamed from Web.

Set this script up in your crontab to download every night. (fxd files will be created in the current directory)
