15:45.12PuffTheMagic2005 was amazing
15:45.20PuffTheMagicand since then downhill
15:45.24PuffTheMagiclast year was terrible
15:45.32PuffTheMagicbut 30th anniversary made up for it being so bad
15:45.44PuffTheMagicthis years was an improvement over last year but nothing special

19:53.29dtzWilllumines: yeppers been working on it a bit now that i got a pixi to dev against
19:53.55*** join/#webos-internals MetaView (~MetaView@p57B90261.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
19:54.09dtzWilllumines: i'd have pushed a beta build but my tests so far have it unexpectedly slow even on gb/gbc games
19:54.27dtzWillbut yeah the main reason was lack of testing, different libraries, and screen resolution
19:54.43dtzWillalso the pixi's processor doesn't support some of the same asm instructions i used for the pre version
19:55.01dtzWillanyway good catch and when i get back to my apartment i hope to make that happen in the semi-near future :)
19:55.45dtzWillps happy new years all ;) :D
19:57.50dtzWillscreen resolution is a small thing, but bunch of the UI needs to be rethought, and skins will have to be adjusted, etc
19:58.01dtzWillgrumble 80 pixels grumble
19:58.30MetaViewjust scale the whole screen :)
19:58.46MetaViewyou render with OpenGL anyway, or?
19:59.00dtzWillMetaView: right, but that's turrible :(
19:59.14dtzWilli mean it'd be easy, but then everything'd be slightly squished
19:59.55Loudergoodunless you just lose a few the other way
20:00.08MetaViewit will be proportional
20:00.27MetaViewmake black bars on top and bottom
20:00.31MetaViewbbl
20:00.34dtzWilloh i see. well yeah that'd work i suppose.
20:00.56dtzWillexcept that means 266.666 pixels wide...
20:01.16Loudergoodwell...round it then ;)
20:01.27dtzWillbeh but yeah, i'll see how much work making a special pixi version is
20:02.33dtzWillthe only actual issue i'm grumpy about is there's an options page that just has too  many options to fit reasonably on a pixi
20:03.25dtzWilland, gulp, some of the help text is manually broken :[. reflowing that would be annoying, but not a big deal--mostly a code maintenance PITA much moreso than it already is
20:03.43dtzWillanyway it's still slower (much) than it shuold be and that'll need fixing :)
20:04.04mpinguHey  a german online shop gots the palm pre now for 150 euros

22:37.14dtzWillps to those asking about pixi scaling etc--the actual emulated image of course will be scaled appropriately, keeping ratio, etc, that all works and will be done that way
22:37.28dtzWilli was referring to the rom selector, options menus, help screens and the misc other stuff
22:37.42dtzWillthat's kinda weird to not be fullscreen :)
22:38.39dtzWillsince there's no native aspect ratio other than w/e i originally designed it for, as opposed to an emulated image
22:38.39dtzWill</thuinking out loud>
22:39.01halfhaloLulz
22:40.36Loudergoodwell..cropping "could" work in that case..
22:41.33dtzWilli'm stubbornly insisting on doing it the hard way when i can't be bothered to make the UI look better than some ancient atari-style graphics xD :D
22:41.50dtzWillwhen i get a chance i really need to draft an artist or someting
22:42.04SineOt;p
22:42.13dtzWill...or someone who has any taste whatsoever :D
22:42.22tmandryanyone in here had experience working with Qt on webOS?

22:43.22LoudergoodI've actually been intending to work with both, but so far I haven't done much of anything in either
22:43.27Jack87-HomedtzWill: what are you doing
22:43.59dtzWillJack87-Home: nothing atm, probably abuot to take a nap :)
22:44.08halfhaloI like that plan
22:44.16Jack87-Homehehe good plan
22:44.32Jack87-Homei ment about the artistic junk... i can maybe help prolly not though
22:45.41Jack87-Homeim not pro by any means but if i can i will mess with making something pretty but im not sure what you need to be pretty
22:45.49Jack87-HomedtzWill: happy new year by the way
22:45.54dtzWillJack87-Home: ty, you too! :D
22:46.12SineOtI'd love to help dtzWill~
22:47.08dtzWillalright also i think Zen00 (who doesn't appear to be here) also offered to help, so we'll see what needs to be done
22:47.20dtzWilltyvm for the offers, /me writes down names :D
22:47.34Jack87-Home:)
22:47.39dtzWillwould reaallyy appreciate it, ty, i'll try to not be worthless and get on it in the near future :)
22:47.44halfhalowill not offer to help since he has no artistic ability. Period.
22:47.58dtzWillyeah, there are things i'm good at and ui design raelly just isn't it :(
22:48.03dtzWillbut i try ;)
22:48.18Jack87-Homehas a wacom tablet now and needs excuse to use it
22:48.33SineOtBoooo... My update for Boxee Remote hasn't gone through yet
