I guess you meant 30 € not ∑
My education fails me too. Sigma is a greek letter: lowercase sigma is σ and uppercase sigma is Σ.Execuse my poor Education Background But what was Sigma again ?
And also it's a summation symbol in math: https://mathinsight.org/definition/summation_symbolExcuse my poor Education Background But what was Sigma again ?
Tinkering, studying (Anki, ai via scripts, etc), retro gaming. Nothing that requires any serious oomph, but stuff that definitely benefits from the form factor.Those who are still waiting the Pyra, what are you going to do with it when it arrives?
I made my original pre-order in 2016, got a "ready to ship" in March 2023 where I paid the balance, and then received it February 2024.I placed my order on November 1, 2021
Do you remember the date in 2016 that you ordered? Guess you were still pretty early.I made my original pre-order in 2016
Of course, the first day of pre-orders. So we're still probably on or around that date now re Pyras being sent out, I assume.April 30th
As a long time Pyra owner (years now), and being an original pre-order of the Open Pandora. I’m quite certain the Pyra is dead.I'm usually just a silent reader here in the forum. To be honest, what bothers me about the whole project is the absence of the most important person, EvilDragon. In my opinion, there should be a proper update here, you can't hope that the community will keep the flag flying for years.
I know the man is very busy at work. We all are somewhere. But you can't lift such a mammoth project out of the ground and hope that it will just bob along. You'd think they'd have learned from the story with Craig back then - in the end, the community decides how it goes on. Nobody here expects that the day after tomorrow all Pyras will be delivered. But for God's sake, we should start to hear something proper from the “boss” again.
I love GP2X handhelds, I have them all here. I have a Pandora and it feels like I have everything around it. But I haven't and won't dare to try the Pyra, for all the known reasons. And that's a shame, because I've been passively dying for the whole project for many years.

You don't seem to grasp the core concepts of retro gamingAs a long time Pyra owner (years now), and being an original pre-order of the Open Pandora. I’m quite certain the Pyra is dead.
I debated on even writing this reply, but usually every 3-6 months I come on here and hope there’s some big news. Only to find even fewer and few updates and activity. Clearly the project is toast.
Reality is most likely going to be before the pre-order queue is completed sadly. Which is going to cause a lot of problems I’d imagine.
Even if (HUGE IF) all the orders are filled (at a massive financial loss), the device is so out of date at this point it’s not really much more than a novelty. The software is still buggy and very early in many aspects. I’d absolutely argue the OpenPandora was a much more refined device even well before 1.74.
Lastly, the community, which I’d argue was the absolute cornerstone and framework of the OP’s success is not even on the same vertical as it used to be (also, there are many more modern and easy platforms to work on with more support and not EOL/obscure hardware that’s so slow).
Not trying to be a downer, but I’m just basically tempering my expectations when the message inevitably gets posted that the project is being shelved.
Ive ordered two times at anbernic directly and booth have defects, so yea, their testing is basically it ships when it boots.QC & Testing Anbernic handhelds by their team = Probably non-existent
