Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

There are talking linux installs - presumably you could also use one of these? Just boot from device x and install to device y, and you aught to be good to go. -- From: "Jacob Kruger" Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 6:24 To:

Re: [Audyssey] got my new solid state drive in

i got a refurbished hp laptop hp elitebook 6930p i upgraded it to 6gigs of ram and put a solid state hard drive into it and now it works great. i had it for two or 3 years now. did you get your lenovo from newegg and how big is your solid state drive 128gigs or 250gigs? follow me on twitter

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

Josh, I configured/set up my wifi dongle last night, and it literally took me like 5 minutes overall - turned unit off, plugged in a realtek wifi dongle, turned it on, double checked that it had initiated the device, by scanning through boot up log, edit the one text file using the nano editor,

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

The pi doesn't have a very good sound chip in it. It is only capable of stero at 48KHZ. It can't do surround sound, and all the tests I've done on it seem to indicate even front/rear speakers make no difference, there's only left/right on the pi. I did go hunting for sound cards that will

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

There are wi-fi dongles for the pi, but I've not used any, so can't speak to how easy they are to configure. Jacob has though, and based on his comments on the raspberry-vi list, it wasn't difficult. Here at home, I have 2 wi-fi routers in the house, and a 48-port hub that everything plugs

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

how easy is it to set up wi-fi? I am totally blind and would be using orca or speakup. though i prefer orca and a gui but speakup is fine if needed. follow me on twitter @joshknnd1982 On 11/15/2015 4:24 PM, Cara Quinn wrote: Hi Travis, I have been thinking about a Raspberry Pie for a while.

Those wouldn't necessarily operate/cooperate on this somewhat limited hardware - know normal ubuntu, with gnome GUI won't. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..." - Original Message - From: "john"

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

Hi Travis, Actually OpenAL does support positional audio in software with a stereo setup. So if OpenAL can run on the Pie, (which I am assuming it can) we could have 3D audio. Just a thought for now. Cheers! Cara --- iOS design and development - LookTel.com --- View my Online Portfolio at:

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

Seconded on the 48khz bit - most audio files used in games are actually 44.1khz, if not less (early GMA was 22.05). I'm not sure how many games actually make use of surround sound at all, and I can't think of any that require it, meaning that, presuming they ran on Linux which most don't right

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

A 48 khz sampling rate has nothing to do with audio quality. Lack of surround sound is probably pretty big though. Dennis Towne On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 10:48 AM, Cara Quinn wrote: > Hi Travis, > > Actually OpenAL does support positional audio in software with a stereo

[Audyssey] The Game of "Say What"

Hi, Has anyone played the game "Say what?" It's a stand-alone portable device in which you put parts of proverbs together. Is it kind of like a madlib, where you can mix the parts and have it announce the results, or does it just say something like, "Oops, that doesn't match."? Or is it

Can someone find out if there is an accessible version of a game like that for the iphone. If not, I can add it to my list of games to build. On 11/16/2015 6:18 PM, Sharon Hooley wrote: Hi, Has anyone played the game "Say what?" It's a stand-alone portable device in which you put parts

Re: [Audyssey] got my new solid state drive in

Hi, I have similar experiences. I now avoid HP like the plague myself because their systems tend to be very below the par on average, and I know others with similar experiences. My dad, for instance, had a HP laptop for about six months, very barely used, and it died. So I don't generally buy HP

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

No idea if it includes orca, etc., but, here's a sort of announcement page for the raspberry pi version of ubuntu mate, including both a torrent download link for the image, as well as, I think, a direct download link - they actually ask you to use the bittorrent, and offer seeding afterwards:

Re: [Audyssey] Portable interactive fiction game playing device/unit

Hi Dennis et al; Not sure if your comment was directed to me or not. I was simply responding to the stereo comment. To clarify this, OpenAL does simulate 3D positional audio using two speakers. It certainly can also take advantage of more speakers if more are available to it but it does a
