bumped again. Fuckin have the shittiest luck. my first caanoo was  beautiful and worked really slick like perfect and all gravy. then..... stolen. my second one worked for a while and now like lazerbeat the joystick is broke or something. It keeps moving by its self. any help with replacement joysticks or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I ported Milkytracker to the Caanoo a while back; I'm going back to it now to fix up some things. It does have touch and analog/button controls.

Have you had any luck using the usb port and mapping to use an excternal joystick?

oh!, that's shitty! ((... that joysitck is kind bad in a way. Mine get stuck all the time (( and is sensible as hell. I suppose that's the problem with the "non-commercial" consoles. Some design might fail and if they broke will be REALLY hard to replace/repair ...

Sorry, I didn't mean the stick for the touch screen. I meant the joystick/thumbpad thing!

Lazerbeat, well is kind of simple to find a solution to that. Get a DS pen, it works perfect with the caanoo while you find an original one

I know it is an uber necrobump but the thumbstick for my caanoo broke a while back and it is as a proprietary part. I haven't had any luck tracking one down and I am kind of loath to shell out 140 bucks to replace the unit for a 50 cent part....

UP UP !!!info from firestARTer!! :
"OK,i got the CAANOO here and get Midi-Output. I have to test if the latencies
are fine, but it looks good so far.
One thing is that it seems that GPH removed the power-pins from the EXT port
which means that we would need to get power from the USB port next to it.
So a splitter cable would be needed between the EXT-PORT and the USB-Port to get
the old Midi-Interface running. Also the pinout of the EXT port is different so
some pins from the old midi-interface have to be changed.
I will check on the latencies and put the plans online.
Next will be the USB-Only tests then..."

Wouhou!!

More Caanoo good news, fellas:
http://truechiptilldeath.com/blog/2011/ … or-caanoo/

so any word on midi devices/ software for the caanoo?

as i put in the piggy tracker thread, i was hoping for some kind of midi player for gp2x and piggy to midi, however given that its much more likely on the caanoo, given the usb host,id happily pick one up if theres some nice midi/ audio softwares in the works.

anyone round here got programming skills?

I just realised that for Mame4all, the best results were obtained using Double Buffering instead of vsync... now most of the games, even "rich ones" run flawlessly without any frame loss... that's ace... however, I can't get one of my fave ones to un correctly (Raiden).. must have a bad dump.gotta do myself a cool SNES rom cards too ))

So yeah, Pixls, this little beats has got guts :

I thinnk Ill start experimenting witn nLöve to some classic demo remakes (as I do on flash)... this seems to be rather achievable een for a coding novice like me.

B TW, if there's any flash coders around, don't hestitate to PM me (and Pixel artits too )

Reading these things makes me want a caanoo even more... hmmm I may have to get one sometime soon...

Totally of-topic, but this means that you can use your dingoo to load the Munch.?

It's much faster. The GP2x is slug pace compared to this.
It's even faster than the PSP.

so then, other than the sexy look, and easily avilible tv out cable (as opposed to gp2x- guh!) is there any reason to buy one of these?
ive already got a gp2x, wouldnt mind picking one of these up if theres likely to be something worth running on it.
any new music apps in the pipeline?
