    Apple ][ Emulator For Pandora

    about 2100. I chopped it up to about 600 per directory which is a bit slow but works now.

    Apple ][ Emulator For Pandora

    I have it working now. I had to unzip everything and I split the collection into multiple directories with fewer files. Nice work!

    Apple ][ Emulator For Pandora

    I've been so excited to try this and I finally got it to do something but I'm not having the luck I had hoped for. I loaded a pile of games onto a card stored a few sub-directories down. I pressed F3 and I move through the file manager until I get to the directory with the games. As soon as I...

    Hairline Crack Forming At Screen Hinge?

    If you are unhappy with it cosmetically, then you would want to go the RMA route but it's not going to fall apart because of that. I have an old sample case with a crack that goes most of the way along the hinge hump and it's not going to fall apart. It's a very thick area of plastic formed as...

    Clock Problems

    Yeah, that makes no sense to me either. The RTC in the TPS65950 has a hardware counter. I wonder why that isn't used. It also has some trim registers to make it as accurate as possible if it was losing some seconds per day/week/month or whatever. It must have to do with the kernel and how...

    Nubs feel weird?

    The nubs were designed to work when thumb pressure is applied. They will not work right if you try to slide them with your finger tip or finger nail or anything like that. In fact, I have seen the controller get a little confused and lose calibration for a while if you do that. Sometimes it...

    Pandora Froze, Cant Even Shut It Down

    Of course it will happen again. It's a developer's device running beta software. I have to reset mine every time I try the PSX emulators because not all games are compatible. You should make sure you know how to properly operate the Pandora because letting the battery drop so low the final...

    Loose Battery

    http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/MWeston_2007/removed_battery_alignment.png They were just small tabs designed to remove the gap and tolerance around the battery in one small area to focus its position right where it counted. I'm glad it's helping although without cutting it, there's a...

    Loose Battery

    Back on some prototype batteries, I would apply a thin layer of solder to the three gold pads on the battery itself. It worked well but it was because we moved the position of the battery connector on the PCB and this helped. Everything lines up now and matches in production parts, although it...

    Massive Battery Drain?

    It must be reading from the kernel. It does strange things like charging to 100% and then I do a reboot with the charger removed and when it comes back up it says 94%. It never used to do that and I've noticed the readings changing with reboots when there's no way the actual capacity could...

    Massive Battery Drain?

    My battery readings used to be totally accurate and then I installed some of these HF5 betas and now it does strange stuff like this too. I doubt the battery is actually changing that fast. Something seems screwy in the code.

    So I just got my pandora

    Are those even cracks? They look like surface scratches like someone dragged a key across it. Maybe it's just the lighting.

    A review of the Pandora's sound and music capability.

    Yes I did try to tweak the audio as best I could between the limited board revisions. I used a pair of Shure SE530's to get the noise floor as low as possible. Those bastards hiss at any noise! My laptop sounds like my damn shower is running! :) The DAC has a 99dB SNR level at the voltage...

    probably a simple question but help appreciated

    Hi Nathan, Does it do the same thing through headphones? If not, it could be the LCD cable, likely the clip popped open. Does it do it if you wiggle the volume wheel? If not, something must be screwy with the mixer in the OS.

    Loose Battery

    The battery company didn't always wrap the battery with those black labels perfectly when it comes to the part where the label drops down over the protection PCB (where the three gold pads are). Even though we designed that label with an extra millimeter of material to make a 90 degree bend...

    Skip OMAP4 and go directly to OMAP5?

    Since we've got our head in the clouds, I want this display in Pandora 2! :) http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/hitachis-4-5-inch-ips-display-has-1280-x-720-res-1-100-1-contr/

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    Maybe the odd speaker magnet isn't strong enough to keep the sensor tripped in the base. Perhaps another test would be to tape a small chunk of fridge magnet in there for a day and see if it keeps doing this. It might be good to rule out hardware here.

    Missing Pandora...

    Is your screen brightness set very low? If so, can you turn it up a little and see if this keeps happening? Also, installing HF5 is supposed to fix this I think. If it isn't anything like this you may have an intermittent cable problem.

    Issue with my battery, keeps reading 1%

    Hot fix flashers and even full customer flashing kits don't reflash the fuel gauge chip or that's how it used to be. You might need ED to send you some recent files that will do that and see if that part just needs to be updated for some reason.

    Pandora Price Increase!

    I actually like the idea of using the DM3730 when the price of the unit goes up. If people have to pay so much more, it would be nice if it was for more than just keeping the project moving. It makes logical sense and everything is totally software compatible as the hardware changes are...
