    GPD WIN 2

    According to the GPDWin subreddit there have been problems with unreliable WIFI, looks like it only impacts some machines but quite a few people have reported problems.

    Asus ROG phone

    Looks interesting, I'd be very interested if the Base of the Pyra could be used with such a phone. From experience this is a pretty fair assessment. However that's merely an annoyance as there are hundreds of excellent games available for Android, when you consider the emulation ability of the...

    GPD Pocket 2 Announced

    Similar problem here, this cable solved it nicely.

    Do you plan to produce the 2GB pyra?

    @EvilDragon : Thought I'd give the question 'Do you plan to produce the 2GB pyra?' a little bump in lieu of the announcement that the 4GB boards are working & there have been so few pre orders for 2GB Pyras. I can see arguments on both sides but the decision should be made soon IMHO.....

    Moving along

    So with current pre orders looking like this : Standard Editions: 15 x 2GB 284 x 4GB Mobile Edition: 0 x 2GB-USA 9 x 2GB-EUR 251 x 4GB-USA 564 x 4GB-EUR And the 4GB version working is it time to scrap the 2GB edition? I can see positives either way. Simplicity for a small production / retail...

    An update of the waiting game

    Been away from the boards a while, any news relating to the above from a couple of weeks ago? I've no real idea how long the testing process should take but my gut feel is a couple of weeks should be enough....

    GPD WIN 2

    Thanks for the Video, good to see it's so pleasantly easy to get Linux working on the Win 2. General question on the Win 2 : When doing desktop stuff such as Libre Office or browsing Wikipedia can the Win 2 run in fanless mode?

    Hardware Pandora turning on and off at boot, also vertical stripes (video)

    Could it be a battery contact issue? Try cleaning the contacts & maybe wedge some paper between the battery and battery cover to assure a firm contact. Good luck :)

    GPD WIN 2

    Or something like this, got one for my DS Lite and it made a huge difference for extended play sessions.

    GPD WIN 2

    Has there been any official word if @EvilDragon will be selling the GPD Win2 (or perhaps Lin2) via his shop? I can see reasons for and against this but hope he does. Must admit I'm pretty much on the fence between the Pyra and the GPD Win 2 and would like at the least to buy the Win2 from ED...

    It could be we're there!

    @EvilDragon : Concerning heat dissipation, would this idea from early 2016 help with future revisions of the Pyra case? I appreciate there is no way to change the molds now but I do think it would help both with modularity & cooling. Seem to remember there was talk of a future case redesign that...

    GPD WIN 2

    I guess a lot of the reason would be the relative size of the devices which would impact development / production costs. Also the Cube mix plus seems incredibly cheap, the mind simply boggles that they can provide that spec for less than £333 delivered in the UK, as vcoleiro1 says the list...

    I had a leather holster made

    As mentioned, a friend of mine, based in the UK, is a highly skilled craftsman when it comes to custom made leather goods. Shown above are some examples of his work. He'd be able to make a case / holder for a pyra if people were interested. What would be good is if we could formalise a general...

    I had a leather holster made

    Was going to start a thread about this very subject in the Pyra section. A good friend of mine (in the UK) is something of a master craftsman when it comes to hand made leather stuff, pretty sure he could make an excellent case for the Pyra. @Eight Bit : Would it be OK to post examples of his...

    Finalizing the PCBs

    Many thanks for the update ED, best of luck for the 4GB fix. Will there also be an option to order (or receive a pre order) of a complete Pyra with a transparent case? Seems a shame if not as that option appeared fairly popular based on posts to these boards.

    Let's move the moulds!

    I don't think there is any chance the 4GB problem will kill the Pyra, might leave a few flesh wounds mind you. Sorry to sound like a stuck record here but what I do believe would be genuinely useful at this stage would be some side by side comparison of stable 4GB and 2GB units showing the...

    GPD Pocket

    Did you get lucky here (i.e. was the item labeled with the correct price on the outer packaging) or did they ship it describing it as a low value item on the packaging thus exempting it from fees without actual inspection? The latter seems to be the norm based on the couple of items I've bought...

    Pyra in the wild - the real life experience

    Great write up @Askarus Sounds like prototyping at its finest, keep us posted especially if you get a proper keymat. I like the sound of different materials for keys & buttons as the feel you want from a gaming button is pretty different to a keyboard key. However I'm not sure that will be...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    Many thanks for the update @EvilDragon . What would be useful to me (and I suspect a few others) would be a comparative test of a 2GB board and a 4GB board showing the impact on battery life & performance (ram vs swap). I understand it's difficult to get a good test for swap performance so even...

    I'm out of ideas for news-titles

    I get where you are coming from with this and it must seem rather odd, especially given the rather febrile nature of most internet communities, that the vast majority of Pyra community are not up in arms about unacceptable delays and lack of progress reports. I think the reasons for this are...
