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.
The charging base was dangerous to the point where it got recalled.Since we first mentioned the Leapfrog DIDJ, a lot has happened.The device runs off of Linux, and uses the Pollux LF1000 SoC (System on Chip) for it's operating system.Star Wars: The Clone Wars(received a Leapster Explorer port).Wolverine and the X-Men(received a Leapster Explorer port).SpongeBob Squarepants: Fists of Foam(Recieved a Leapster Explorer port).Nancy Drew: Mystery In The Hollywood Hills.Additionally, a few Didj games were later ported to the Leapster Explorer. However, Didj cartridges are hard to remove from the Explorer. When played on a Leapster Explorer, all the Micromods are unlocked. However, Didj games are compatible with the Leapster Explorer. The Didj is notorious for being glitchy: Sometimes it doesn’t recognize the cartridge, it needs to be connected to the computer for frequent “tune ups”, there was a chance it won’t be recognized in Leapfrog Connect.Īs of 2019, Leapfrog Connect has discontinued support for the Didj. Out of the 16, 13 are licensed games and 1 (Jetpack Heroes) is included with the Didj. Technically speaking, The Didj is more powerful than the Leapster, capable of displaying 3D graphics and playing uncompressed sound. You could also create a custom avatar called a “Didji” that was used in some games. Marketed as a ”Custom Learning Game System”, you could customize the games with “Micromods” purchased with “Bitz” earned from playing games. It is the 3rd Leapfrog handheld console, after the Leapster and Leapster2. The Didj is a handheld game console released by Leapfrog in 2008. What needs to be done: Games list, more info on the device, find source to the recall.
