this is very important and a big difference!

Miracast is a contender for Airplay!

this technology is open, easy to put on and just depends on the WI-FI

this can be a major highlight of the appliance!

I write this so that even developers OUYA!

If that passes, does it then replace the one that's currently on the market?

Will previous customers auto-update?  Or will I now have two different versions in the wild?

Thanks!

the OUYA will now run XBMC, this is great!!

more OUYA have to have the maximum of functions!

functions identical to the AppleTV, using DLNA, and Miracast is important! so you can create interactivity with Android smartphones and tablets!

function NAS server with external HD or USB sticks and even with the internal memory!

Add the features of Nexus Q and Wireless Router

seek the maximum of possible functions for OUYA!

Miracast is very important!!

Currently i'm unable to make full use of the OUYA's controller API, and I can't wait to get crackin and get one of my games onto the ouya "store"

EDIT: I guess what I'm really interested in knowing is what are the things to watch out for when taking this development route? 

Has anyone made a GPL request for the Linux kernel sources yet?  Beyond that, has anyone poked in the bootloader or has gotten Linux running - is the Ouya based on a standard platform that can run Linux for Tegra https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra or some other standard distro (Ubuntu, Linaro)?

So, now I have access to adb (apparently not su, though) and the system turns on. I can run a backup (kind of) using "adb backup -all" until I receive the "Unlock your device to confirm". (I'm saying backup, because my last resort is to delete /data for a kind of factory reset, right?)

I've tried:

adb shell recovery --wipe_data 

fastboot -w

Any further ideas on how to factory reset this again possibly? Apologies if this is the incorrect section.

Oh, also... is the receipt specific to the signed in user who bought the game?  Or the ID of the system itself?  If a user buys a game, and then a new user logs in, should the game still be unlocked?

I found out that there are a lot of ways how to do it:

- to use pure Java and than import it to Android, and probably import it to OUYA

- to use Android SDK and then probably import it to OUYA

- to use Unity with SDK from OUYA

- to write a native C++ application

What is the best way for a very pre-elementary level of a developer like me? Where should I start in order to avoid wasting time in vain?

Yes, I understand that most probably there are similar questions like this one from others developers, so I would like to get links to them as well.

Thanks, I appreciate any advice!

(just for your information, I'm a Java web developer, I have experience with Java, but I don't have any experience in developing games)

I wanted to make a game with support for six players locally...

"Text and buttons are slightly cut off on screen when viewed in 720i."

What is this mysterious mode of 720i? Wikipedia says:

"720i (720 lines interlaced) is an erroneous term found^{[citation needed]} in numerous sources and publications. Typically, it is a typographical error in which the author is referring to the 720p HDTV format"

I can't reproduce the mentioned cutting of screen space in our game with 720p/1080p and wondering what could this mysterious setup be where it happens :D.

Any insight or clarification is helpful.

Thanks!

so, as i think most of people here were following http://indiegames.com , by rss news or whatever, that a significant amount of games are retro-like, using low resolution displays, or having pixels scaled to 2x or 4x (and perhaps 8x or 16x)

in this case, would be better using low resolution modes on Ouya, such as 180p (320x180), 360p (640x360), 540p (960x540), etc. and having Ouya display hardware scaling them, or using 720p or 1080p resolutions instead, and using 2x or 4x (or even more) scaled pixels instead?

sorry if this question may sound stupid, but i'm really curious about the technical and performance issues about this

This could really bring on par the OUYA to the functionality of the "big next gen consoles" and shut the naysayers mouths. Graphics are as graphics does and if a second screen peripheral function is available for all of us to use it would go great as an option for the OUYA. 

If I were starting a small development company, I could justify the purchase of the Unity licenses for Android and iPhone, because their value would be realized across multiple future releases. But currently, this is just an evening hobby, and I feel I could just as easily re-write my game in a native development environment rather than insta-port it using Unity. 

Just wondering what others' thoughts are. Is multiple-platform deployment as easy as Unity makes it seem? Is it worth the $400/$800 dollar upfront cost? My gut feeling is I would rather pay myself $800 to manually port my game, since I'm going to have to make gameplay modifications based on UI/controls.

Disclaimer: I'm a novice, but I am fairly comfortable picking up new languages.
Thanks!

Obviously, the person needs to be online to buy the game.  So they buy the game, and the full version is unlocked.

The next day, they turn on their Ouya, and I can use the "get receipts" function to again verify that they have purchased the game.  They get the full game.

Now, for whatever reason, they lose internet access.  They should still be able to play the full version of the game.

So, fine, at time of purchase, I store a little crumb on their machine that indicates that they've purchased the game.  If they have that crumb, then the full game is unlocked.  A naive approach would be a little text file or something that said "unlocked=true" or whatever.

With regard to piracy, how do I make that crumb so that it can't be shared with everyone?

I have my own answers to this, but curious what others think?

OS: Windows 8
Java: java 6 32-bit and also tried java 6 64-bit for the heck of it

Android APIs: 4.1.2(API 16) also 4.0 (API 14)

Eclipse: Juno Service Release 2

Android SDK Manager: Revision 21.1 32-bit

I've looked at other posts and I have tried about 5 diffident methods but to no avail. Someone mentioned they use the Samsung galaxy drivers. I tried the galaxy note drivers but that didn't seem to work so if anyone has done this could you be a bit more specific?

who can help porting it to OUYA? (which means, how simply games coded in Haskell can run on OUYA, or recoded to run there?)
