Sneaky peek of DSLinux GUI

[wraggster]

News from SonnyJim:

Amadeus has managed to fix the C++ toolchain for DSLinux and is currently in the process of porting the PIXIL suite.

It's probably more than likely that this will require some kind of RAM in Slot-2.

wow that is freaking sweet.

[::Xraxa, plz:.]

Damn dood, thats sweet looking.

Lmao, Notes - How to get to Mount Doom. Address Book - Baggins, Frodo. Scheduler - Meeting with Gandalf :rofl:

It looks really nice though!

[Taris]

Yes! Awesome and win! :D

[TeenDev]

GNOME for DSLinux would be sweet but impossible!

[geise69]

All I'm gonna say is that this is awesome and I am definitly looking forward to this. Very nice work. :)

[Dragonic]

Really cool! I want it :D!! Really nice work!

[Borde]

Impresive job.
I had some serious doubts they could get a GUI working. Any comments about the speed?

[Sonny_Jim]

It's quite slow at the moment, like 2 seconds between clicking something and it actually responding. It's very early days yet though.

Impressive Work! :)

This is a big step in the Development of DSLinux
I can't wait until this is Released!

Great work! Keep It Up!



P.S. If anyone is intereseted I am one of the testers for the New MinivMacDS builds and it is nearing its complition. It has gottin a complete overhaul.

Check it out at http://lazyone.drunkencoders.com/wordpress/

Also check out DS-Scene.net , it has great updates on DS homebrew too .

Just a quick update, PIXIL should now be in the DLDI builds available on Stsp's server (http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/sperling/dslinux/builds/dslinux-dldi.tgz). Also enabled is the ViewML webbrowser. It's currently very slow but people are working on making things faster.

Also I'm looking for someone to make some new icons for PIXIL, specifically a poweroff icon. See here for more details on how you can help (http://dslinux.org/f0rums/viewtopic.php?t=358). There's lots to be done and not all of it requires programming skills.

EDIT: To run PIXIL you'll probably need some kind of RAM expansion in Slot-2. Type
/usr/pixil/nxstart.sh to start

Looks really nice, but too bad I need a Ram extension.

Does the 8MB ram cart from OperaDS work or do I have to get a 32 MB one?
