Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ethernet dongle work? Yes Does the Wi-Fi work? Yes Can I run Xorg on it? Yes, with the framebuffer driver. Does it work on GameCube? It should. GameCube is supported but author cannot test on it. Does SD/SDHC/USB work? Yes What type of multimedia/gaming applications can I use? Anything that works on a framebuffer will do. But forget about video playback, 3D or high end games. There is no hardware acceleration support so far.
