Dingoo

I spent the last couple days reading a lot about the Dingoo. What got me interested in the Dingoo was that it runs Linux and it can emulate a lot of consoles smoothly. Neo-geo games are what I was curious if they would lag, but so far from youtube videos and reviews I have seen, the roms seem to play just fine. Its about $100 on a couple websites I found. Check out the video of someone reviewing the Dingoo playing some arcade/neo-geo roms.

Wing IDE

Glad to have Wing IDE on Linux. I was using DrPython but some features were missing that Wing IDE has. You can fill out a form from Wingware that says if you are developing a non-commericial application that will be open source, they will give you a free license. Right now I am on trial mode.

Baboom! GIT repo

I made a repo for Baboom! on my github account. http://github.com/blittergames/baboom/tree/master

Linux Mint 7

I removed Windows 7 and put on Linux Mint 7. I always used Ubuntu before but I am glad I tried out Linux Mint. It installed fine, came with all the codecs I need plus the flash plugin. So far, this has been the best Linux desktop experience I have ever had. This is actually a distro that I would recommend to people who want to try out Linux for the desktop. The theme set it comes with is really appealing. I tried installing this Python IDE I read in an old Linux Format Magazine, but it was having some issues running my pygame game. After that I installed DrPython which I used in the past, and it ran my game just fine.
