Plus, by the sounds of the posts I've added here, they have enough of a job getting it working properly on shmindows! You can probably bet your bottom dollar that there will be developers there who are total linux fanatics and would love to get there stuff working with linux PCs, but the management slap them down because it's not worth the effort. Indeed, the embedded operating system that runs on leapfrog products **is** linux! Still, that is no guarantee that it should automatically work with Ubuntu (or any other linux based distro). From reading the PDF and downloading their source code (there are links to it in the PDF), they are clearly **extremely** familiar with open source software. Interesting post, Golubovsky! I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic when you said the developers were 'not totally unfamiliar' with open source software. They make for some fairly interesting reading - this is **not** simply a linux compatibility issue. I was looking to get the leapster2 connected after getting one at xmas - it installed and ran under WINE but the leapster wasn't detected.Īs usual, you tend to think this is some sort of linux issue, but after a little digging around it seems there are a fair few dissatisfied customers out there - and not just linux users.
