    Homebrew competition!!

    Just want to say, a great initiative. I might contribute a few coins myself, like £10 or so, but need to wait until paycheck comes in. :) Although, it is kinda ironic to trust a guy whom has Kefka, one of the most notorious backstabbers in all of gaming, as his avatar... X-D

    [request] Could someone port PSFreedom?

    What the topic says. If I could jailbreak my PS3 with my Pandora I'd be quite happy. :) More details at http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2010/09/psfreedom-source-code-released/

    Appstore Look

    My point was, stop thinking "app store" and start thinking "repository". Whether the packages have dependencies or not or what the client does after the download is irrelevant. It's just implementation details. I'd much rather see a generic store app in which I could add a list of repositories...

    Appstore Look

    I wonder why so many miss the painfully obvious? "App Store" is the same thing as "A repository in which you may charge for the packages". So, App Store ~= Repository Now what do we know works great with packaging and repositories? That's right, apt/yum and their frontends (synaptic et all)...

    I'm interested in becoming a Pandora dev?

    These days, Dev-C++ is mostly abandoned in favor of Code::Blocks, which has much more features. Check into it!

    Looking For 3d Modeler/graphics Guy

    I got most of those numbers from a quick glance at Wikipedia[1]. Looking at the official sheet[2], it's probably true, however, the fact sheet lists 14M Poly/sec, and that's with a 200 MHz clock. The Pandora one is clocked at 110 MHz[3], meaning the number of polys will be lesser (unfortunately...

    Looking For 3d Modeler/graphics Guy

    Just wanted to say that the Pandora can render around 14 MPolys/s, which would be around 230 000 polys to play around with (if you're aiming for the 60FPS limit which I'm assuming), and a decent enemy/player model would need around 2500 polys to look good. There's plenty of room to play around...

    Spotify For Pandora, Linux Etc.

    Pandora/Last.fm and Spotify are nothing alike, to be honest. Spotify is an all-you-can-eat smorgasboard. You pick the songs. They play them. It's that simple. It's just like a locally installed music player with access to 2 TB of music...

    Pandora Pandora Emulator Frontend

    ID3(ish) tags would be great for a number of things actually. Like, developer/publisher, date released and so on - information that won't change at all. Also, no genres, just use tags instead. That way, Castlevania: SotN can be regarded as a platform game, AND an Adventure game. Favorite ratings...

    Pandora Pandora Emulator Frontend

    Why? SQL Databases are great, but when it comes to actual files, isn't it better to, you know, store the information about a certain file in an ID3 tag or similar? Just asking.

    Kin's Graphical Corner

    Just have one thing to say; WALLSCROLL OF BLACK! GIEF! :D

    Getting Started

    That is *almost* what I'm after, but I want to be able to type "make && ./pandoraapp" on my main desktop - basicly, a single step to try out my app. Of course, debugging would suck, but for quickly testing performance and doing those last minute bugfixes this would be invaluable. Slowness isn't...

    Getting Started

    Not so far as I know. You might have luck building your own toolchain under Cygwin. Emulating the Pandora has been discussed, and at least doing the CPU is easy (QEMU), but I believe it's the graphics that aren't guaranteed. You can always just code on the Pandora itself as well. Personally I...

    Unofficial Blog Poll

    I second this, and I'd also like to see the top image/title dissapear (above the logo, logo looks really good). On a real pandora that blog will require quite a bit of scrolling before getting to the news... :/ Can't you just be creative with min/max width? Also, having an alternative...

    Oss4 Sound Driver

    The biggest argument against ALSA is that no other UNIXes use it and it adds to the mess that is Linux sound today (don't think it's a mess? Then you haven't been keeping up). However, OSS4 violates certain kernel policies in Linux and will thus never be considered for mainline inclusion unless...
