In a few hours, millions of fresh-faced children will be tearing open presents like the Leap TV, a Wii for the pre-school crowd that has a number of educational games. And, once they get bored with them, what could be more educational than fighting your way through a horde of demons to save the earth? Yup, [mick] has hacked the Leap TV console to play Doom. After some poking around he discovered that the Leap TV is built around a quad-core nxp4330q arm7-A processor, with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of flash memory, while the controller links to the main console using Bluetooth LE. That’s more than enough to run Doom on (in fact… too much), so he whipped out his handy compiler and got Doom and SDL running with only a few minor code changes.

This isn’t [Mick]s first such hack: he previously hacked the V-Tech InnoTab, a cheap tablet for kids, which persuaded the manufacturers to release the full source code for the tablet. Will Leapfrog follow suit? That remains to be seen, but in the meantime, [Mick]s work gives us some insight into the internals of this device.
We bought my son a Leapfrog toy for Christmas this year. The big selling point is that you can sync it with your computer, letting you personalize it so it knows your child's name, favorite foods, etc. sounds pretty cool.
This thing took me two hours to set up - the software is atrocious.
The first sin - they pull an Adobe and make you download an 'installer,' which is actually a helper app that then downloads the real installer. Why??
The second sin - after installing, you have to reboot your computer. What is this, Windows 98?
After this, I started setting it up. Halfway though the process, my machine kernel panics. First time this machine has ever done that. I reboot and it no longer recognizes the toy.
I uninstall everything and redo it all from scratch. But - my mistake - I don't realize that there's a separate, different helper application for each individual Leapfrog toy (why?!), and I accidentally install the wrong one. However, when I run it, it notices that the toy is different (at least it recognizes it now!) and offers to install the correct software. I say ok. It sits there 'downloading' forever, but never completes.
I uninstall and reinstall everything again, but this time with the correct software. NOW it works. Hooray!
Aside from all the bugs, the UI is terrible too. First of all, it's obvious using non-native controls that are skinned to look like Mac native element, because it looks like its running on Tiger (complete with pinstripes) even though I'm on Snow Leopard. In addition, the main window is taller than my MacBook's native screen resolution, but it doesn't have a scrollbar, so if you shrink the window then you can't reach anything that's off the screen.
Anyway...sheesh. Just felt the need to rant after all that :-)
