Ive just got a Leapfrog Violet Dog for my daughter and am trying to customise it. Does anyone know if this can be done from Ubuntu? I can't get wine to do it as Wine doesn't recognise USB devices and had trouble installing the latest Flash that the software requires. I tried running it through virtual box but windows still didn't see it. It appears that Ubuntu doesn't even see it as I cant see under lsusb.

Has anyone dealt with these toys? Has anyone got it to work under Ubuntu? At this stage I'm thinking that I'll have to setup a windows partition and dual boot my laptop just to do it. though I don't really want to if theres another way.
