I used a computer as the server and a couple of POCKETCHIPS as the clients. Worked great! I made sure to check out the errata mentioned in the comments as I entered the commands.

Simply install the prboom game with sudo apt update && sudo apt install prboom. A CD for Windows won’t be compatible with the CHIP because Debian and Windows can’t use the same binary programs. However, Doom II is available with various source ports. Search the web.

Comment on Pocket Installer Simplifies Installing Games & Applications to PocketC.H.I.P. by Richard https://ntcblogbackup.wpengine.com/pocketinstaller-simplifies-installing-games-applications-to-pocketc-h-i-p/#comment-19961 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 20:38:32 +0000 http://blog.nextthing.co/?p=1358#comment-19961 So, I did the install and followed the directions here but no other instructions come up on my PocketChip. All I get is an error saying no such file or directory exists. Is there a solution to this or am I just better off manually installing everything using the terminal?

You need an inverter for a 1.5V – 3V input like the one linked to in the tutorial.

Look under Drivers. http://shopping.coolneon.com/Cool-Neon-EL-Wire-Drivers-and-More. There is a write-up being published today that goes through the steps and materials so look out for that.

It worked first time!) Those photos of Dave and Thomas are so legit. They're amazing! Crazy cool! Whatever you want to call them! Hehe... I watched the video below. It was full of good information. Thanks for taking the time to put that together. I might use the PocketCHIP as that Arduino flashing machine with my DCCDuino and my FlashyFlash. That would be cool, to have an Arduino extension to OTTO flashed by its successor. But I think I'm going to make it my goal to try all of these cyberpunk hacks during the summer. 😉 And one question; where did you get the inverter for the el wire for Dave's picture? I can't find one that's small enough to fit in PocketCHIP. :( Thanks for taking the time to put this together! :D]]> Cool! This blog post is amazing! Thanks for putting all the hacks in one place.

I tried the speaker hack. It works, and it’s awesome! (I did have a bit of trouble, though. It took me about 5 hours, but only because I was desoldering and resoldering an amp about 10 times… before I found out that the amp was fried. 😕 So I just pulled out a new one. It worked first time!)

I tried the speaker hack, it was my first time soldering and it took me 5 hours. LOL! The only reason it took me that long is because my amp was fried and I didn’t know it. So I resoldered the broken amp about 10 times, trying to figure out the problem, and finally I tried a different amp, and it worked. Now my PocketCHIP is blasting 8-bit music out of it’s shiny new 23mm speaker! Thanks for the great guide.

I have also watched Star Wars on my PocketCHIP. That was great. I want to make mine into a phone now… we’ll see how that goes. 🙂

Also, those photos of Dave and Thomas are sooo legit. 😀 Cyberpunk it up!

I would buy another PocketCHIP now, but I need to save a bit. How long are the PocketCHIPs going to be in stock for?

Thanks,
-Josh
