I am betting that this leapfrog heap of junk will lack the power to even run a gameboy emulator. Many times hacking a piece of crap to save $20.00US is not worth the effort. Get one of those and some metal+wifi card + servos and make one that is 800X better and can run all day long AND not have a super crappy XGA 20lux only video camera. Oh and they work for about 8 minutes off the charging base, enough to drive around the room for a little bit before you need to charge it again. They don’t work worth a damn, the company has abandoned the product, Oh and they are not windows 7 compatible. It’s worth $50.00 and an annoying purchase at $99.00 I had always felt bad for the guys that bought that turdpile for $300.00 retail. You guys did not miss out on the last one. Posted in handhelds hacks Tagged Didj, Leapfrog, linux, woot Post navigation Its amazing how far this group has come in just two months. There are a number of tutorials and walk-throughs on the eLinux wiki.

Right now they are looking for someone with experience snooping USB protocols to figure out how the device communicates to the computer, as well as anyone who is interesting in just testing or playing around with what they have done so far. They have also designed and tested a homebrew cartridge with a slot for a microSD card and breakouts for expansion and debugging. The team working over at the HackerFoundry forum have managed to gain serial console access, map the file system, create a fake update server, and are almost at a point where replacing the stock OS and firmware can be done with software alone. For all the readers who missed out on the last sale on Woot, its about time for a second chance. A number of avid readers of Hack a Day teamed up with a couple hackers experienced with the DIDJ, and have managed to make some huge progress into making a linux based game console on the cheap. Since we first mentioned the Leapfrog DIDJ, a lot has happened.
