  1. Re:If only it had a touchscreen.. on GP2X Surpasses Expectations · · Score: 1

    WINE requires Linux running on an x86 CPU and using X11. I'm pretty sure this device is ARM, and I'm not sure if it uses any form of X for graphics. I'm also pretty sure that Starcraft ran at 640x480, while this thing only has a 320x240 screen.

    If you're really jonesing for portable Starcraft on a touchscreen, I think your only viable option is a tablet PC. (And given the current state of "right-clicking" with a stylus, which is so bad on every tablet I've used that it hurts, I'd hesitate to call even that a viable option.)

    I, too, dream of having a solid, portable RTS on a handheld gaming system. Sadly, though there's some stuff out for the DS that tries, that dream doesn't look like it's coming true any time soon.

    I believe that's pronounced shuffle

    Wait, wait, I thought I just heard you call Slashdot the "new home for the perpetually whiny"

    I think you must be what's new around here

  4. Re:A mirror? on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 1

    Now, this might not be the most aesthetically pleasing solution, but...

    Have you ever considered taping/pasting some sort of textured surface underneath the glass? I know that the optical tracking mechanism is only really designed to work on surfaces that are a set distance away from the bottom of the mouse, but it still might be able to "see" enough of a texture through the glass to function.

    Again, making no promises here, but it can't hurt to try (aside from maybe leaving some tape smudges on the bottom of the glass.)
