    The Future of Pyra's CPU

    Which one ? It has "LGR" written all over it but I don't think I've missed any of his videos since I've been folowing him. If there is enough interest, maybe we should open a retrocomputing topic on the boards, or is there one already ? I don't really want to derail this thread any further :)

    The Future of Pyra's CPU

    I totally agree with you @levi, I myself am enjoying older hardware much more, trying to put together three retro PCs (one circa 86-96 with a Pentium 200 MMX, one 96-02 with Voodoo3, and one for beyond 2002 running XP) while barely touching any current AAA games. As I don't watch TV, I'm waiting...

    The Future of Pyra's CPU

    I think the thing is, we have no idea how long it would take to release a new CPU board, so it might be valid to get a head start on it. If it takes two years, by then new use cases could arise where the current CPU just won't cut it. I'm afraid it already is a bit short on the video side. Soon...

    Windows 10 ARM on Pyra?

    Windows Me was styled just like 2000. With the stock theme and no wallpaper, 98 had the grey windows with flat blue titles and green-ish background inherited from 95. I think what you hate in Win98 is Active Desktop and other stuff introduced in the Windows Desktop Update with IE 4 or 95C (OSR...

    Windows 10 ARM on Pyra?

    Also, it seems to be the SP1 release that has been leaked. Service Pack 2 was a whole revamp on the security side, and I expect most web-facing XP systems to be running a somewhat up-to-date SP3. I might be a bit naive, but then there might not be as many exploitable flaws as you'd think.

    It reminds me of the Pandora!

    Well I'm still running Bada 2.0 on a Wave II, so I guess I'll manage to avoid Android entirely... until I get it virtualized on my Pyra :p

    Low Latency Kernel ?

    Well for playback it's not in anyway preventing an audio player from working, but it could help with jitter and global responsiveness. I think what hurts an underpowered device (not specifically the Pyra) is more applications lagging and hanging than them taking some more time to finish. I find...

    Low Latency Kernel ?

    I remember the OpenPandora's audio circuit has been designed by an audiophile, such as using Burr-Brown chips. The Pyra inherits this attention with a good TI DAC and a case optimised for the included speakers. But what about the software ? Low latency kernel is a must for many Linux audio...

    On the upgradability of the Pyra

    I wonder if 3DS emulation would be possible. Also, how is MAME running (especially 3D games like Virtua Fighter and Ridge Racer) ? And as the Pyra has HDMI out and USB ports, could we run two emulators in parallel and link them (like two consoles or arcade cabs connected together for...

    A case of polls!

    Based mainly on the first pages, I could see a platform/puzzle game based around the following : You can change color at will, and touching objects will give them properties depending on the color (flying, getting bigger/smaller, moving/staying still, ...) you have when you touch them. You can...

    Number 617 here, with Dark Chrome and no adapter. It's now at 620. Makes me want to revive the old imaged numbers thread :p Also : Me : Update : 623 !

    It's software this time!

    What is this beauty and where has it been all my life !?! :confused: Edit : now I know about it, and therefore I know which C64 I want when the time comes.

    On the upgradability of the Pyra

    There are few times when one wishes to like a comment more than once. This is one of them.

    Breadbin or C64C ? :p

    On the upgradability of the Pyra

    Indeed, yet a better CPU would still be appreciated, especially for emulation. Let's face it, we won't have many games developed for the Pyra pushing its limits, most will be ports and emulators. And those like raw power, be it for accuracy or software rendering.
