SuperEngineerMartijnVdS: can you recommend a version [enn thinking of geting this for a while].. will the bog standard £11.99 Steam version be ok? [only occasional use]14:22
SuperEngineerenn? what's an enn? sub I've been ;)14:23
dutchieSuperEngineer: why it not be ok?14:26
SuperEngineerdutchie: dunno - that's why i was asking ;)14:28
dutchieit should be fine14:28
dutchieunless you want the soundtrack or your name in the game14:29
SuperEngineer[there'sseveral versions on Steam.. from bog standard to super duper - they seem to be, well, unnecessary14:29
dutchienice to have the soundtrack sometimes14:30
dutchieand it's more money to the indie dev14:30
SuperEngineernope - don't need name [don't want name in game] &... is the soundtrack any good then?14:30
SuperEngineer[would prefer a "preview soundrack" option ;)14:32
dutchie i dunno about soundtrack15:07
MartijnVdSSuperEngineer: yeah, the standard standard cheap version is fine15:17
MartijnVdSSuperEngineer: it's still alpha, so sometimes it bugs a bit15:17

* penguin42 wonders what drivers Ouya use to drive their off chip graphics card19:02
directhexoff chip?19:08
penguin42http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouya says it has a GeForce19:09
ali1234isn't it tegra?19:09
directhexit's just tegra319:09
penguin42ah ok19:09
directhexalthough nvidia does ship arm geforce drivers19:10
popeyits very easy to run out of space on ouya19:10
penguin42directhex: Interesting19:10
penguin42popey: Oh I was just thinking the ebay prices weren't bad for a quad core A919:11
directhexof course, only 2 motherboards exist right now with an ARM chip and a PCIe slot19:11
directhexbut you can get the driver for those, damnit!19:11
penguin42directhex: Which 2 are you thinking of?19:11
directhexhttp://shop.seco.com/gpudevkit/gpudevkit-detail.html19:12
penguin42directhex: I think there's at least; the ARM dev boards (cost a fortune), the boards from Kontron (do they really exist? has anyone seen one?) and the globalscale mirabox19:12
penguin42hmm hadn't seen that one19:14
directhexer, where's the pcie slot on a mirabox?19:14
penguin42directhex: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-58-mirabox-development-kit.aspx  is kind of nice but only has mini-pcie19:14
