@Grench's ideas look great to me, especially the Pyramote and Parallel. But let's not divert ED's attention too much from the weakest point in the Pyra : it's CPU. Better make a more powerful device, then when it's good all around, we can think about diversifying the boards. We can still come up...

I've heard that 3G/4G and 5G don't use the same antennas, so a transition might happen earlier...

As "OP", I can confirm I meant this as "closer to a desktop in upgradeability than pretty much anything else, as RAM and drives aside you can't change much on most laptops, and we're not even talking about your average smartphones". It doesn't mean it is fully customizable. Yet with everyone...

Well it's not just about resolution; the smaller the sensor, the less light coming in, thus worse image quality gets. But for simple webcam work, it should do the job just fine. Opening the PDFs, I have no idea what I'm looking at :D, but it seems there are no "reserved for future use" pins on...

Thanks for your answers folks. @levi, where are those schematics ? What I meant was that if there is a new CPU board (and we all hope there will), how can we be sure we won't be short on pins on the connector side ? On 3), is it expected of I/O shields to be as expensive to manufacture as...

Basically, the Pyra is meant to have replaceable components, close to what a desktop computer would have. We already know how you can change the LCD cable, the screen itself, the CPU board etc. The latter being intended for upgraded replacements further down the line, I'm getting somewhat...

It's getting closer for me to being here for six years, first as a lurker and as a member a few months later... I didn't know back then what I was getting into, but I've always been glad to have been here for the journey. I'm not as much into emulation as I was back then, as now I'd rather play...

I don't know what slows the "terrain" benchmark so much, but otherwise it seems to dwarf any Raspberry Pi up to the third, and putting up a good fight with the Pi 4 as well :) Edit : sauce, but this sings another song... any idea why ?

I based my estimation on the hour I got the confirmation mail, and the hourly preorders count linked earlier. There must be a better way...

I think the one against it would be the poor sap relegated to the second batch :p

If I got this right, I'm in the first 150, wow ! I thought I was more in the lower 300s.

This. It's exactly 2.4 times more pixels being pushed on the Pyra. On unoptimized software. Maybe working with even lower thermal limits due to the cooling system not being fully implemented. And through two layers of software emulation. It's not mindblowing, but the more you think about it, the...

If I remember well, the DS Lite was the last one offering the GBA port. It might have been removed due to piracy concerns, but as linkers using the DS port were already commonplace by then, it was either stupid or unrelated. So here was I with my old white DS Lite, playing Guitar Hero while...

@TrashyMG : Sure, the N64 is a remarkable console in its own right, but it mainly comes from its power. What I meant is that when it came to actual use cases, the main thing differing from previous Nintendo products was its analogue stick. Now this was advanced for its time (although it was a...

The DS is more akin to the Wii for me, as they both pushed new ways to play (dual screen and stylus for one, motion sensing for the other) and were targeted to the whole family. I don't think "Game Boy" conveys this to the elderly. The whole point was starting afresh : Also I don't see the N64...

I might not buy something german named "SS", but you do you :p Allow me to disagree on the Game Boy DS. Its name was to push its main difference : the Dual Screens. The DS is quite a different device to the GBA when it comes to actual gameplay (well it differs from game to game, but Wario Ware...

Sorry, it got sent before I was finished writing it...

Please don't. Not now at least. Reviewers would sure make for a big advertisement, but we just can't do that until the Pyra is at least somewhat finished. As in : low-power support, available calls and SMS/MMS (including contacts display, emojis, text size counter, archives, missed calls...

Do you mind if I save those ? For uh... scientific research purposes ? :p

Indeed. Sorry I didn't reply earlier @levi and all, not being quoted nor tagged makes it a bit difficult getting notified without checking the topic yourself :mad: Of course this is "promising" as in "promises"... we don't know anything for sure yet. But as it is smartphone-oriented we can...
