    Where are we now?

    You also have to remember that to match the amount of engineering effort going into a modern Apple product, everyone who preordered a Pyra would have had to have worked full time on it for the last few years. When you compare that to the handful of people who have designed and managed the Pyra...

    screen replacement

    Even though they are out of stock, Aliexpress and eBay tend to be a fairly good source of old LCDs (with the risk of the odd dead pixel). If it has a part number on the back, search for it and see if anywhere is still selling it (I think the Pandora used a fairly common one but I can't remember...

    If VAT works in Germany as it does in the UK (afaik is is pretty much harmonised EU-wide), then the GmbH would have not paid the VAT on the parts - it is claimed back from the tax office at the end of the quarter they were bought in. Likewise the VAT paid on Pyras goes to the tax office at the...

    Seems like the trophies are based on some kind of epoch of Dec 24, 2015 rather than the actual join dates etc. Maybe that is when trophies were added?

    Brief Answers to the Big (Pyra) Questions

    I guess so, if iTunes for Windows worked with the combination of Wine and an x86 emu - performance may be not be great as iTunes isn't the lightest application in the world.

    Brief Answers to the Big (Pyra) Questions

    In any case, 32-bit ARM and 64-bit ARM are quite substantially different, a lot more than just making the data path wider, that I don't know if they can really be called the same architecture. 1592994497 As far as I can tell, that is for classic Mac OS rather than OS X.

    Brief Answers to the Big (Pyra) Questions

    I'm pretty sure all the new Apple stuff will all be ARM64, so even with a hypothetical ARM Wine-for-Mac or ARM Hackintosh - neither of which exist - it wouldn't work on a Pyra.

    The Communication Cube

    Wayland isn't a replacement for OpenGL or GLES, you might have been thinking of Vulkan which came up recently on another thread. Wayland is a replacement for X11 as a specification for displaying windows (to simplify a bit). It is backwards compatible with old X11 stuff using Xwayland. In...

    The Communication Cube

    I think you might have slightly got the wrong end of the Wayland discussions. It does not require any new hardware, just some software changes that will be optional when they land (and probably not a massive change in the end either, mostly just new packages). I wouldn't call it very obscure...

    It's software this time!

    I personally have no plans to drop X11 support - it is what I want to get reliably working first and keep working. The 1.17 GPU blobs don't seem to be supposed to support X11 unfortunately, but there is no reason to move on from the 1.14 that we are currently using. I am looking into a solution...

    It's software this time!

    The GPU and its driver support OpenGL ES 2 and a few extensions. You can use @ptitSeb 's gl4es to get OpenGL support. I highly doubt it will ever see Vulkan support.

    It's software this time!

    It should be pretty similar, the only differences would be the slightly different resolution and possibly thermal. No shipping email yet. 1592741471 At the moment only X11 is working reliably. I have tried Wayland a bit with the new 1.17 drivers as it doesn't seem to work with the 1.14...

    It's software this time!

    Some benchmarks, because everyone loves benchmarks! This time glmark2, on the uEVM but with TILER enabled and using DRI3 and X11. The window size is the default 800x600. First, the default configuration: Then I noticed that the GPU clock was fixed at the default 425MHz. The maximum actually...

    When I click on "help edit this wiki" on the main page, it takes me to a login page which doesn't work: I am assuming that I am not logged in automatically, even though my forum login does show at the top, because trying to edit anything gives this error:

    Mega 65- Enhanced Commodore 65, fpga etc.

    A LUT is the basic combinational logic element in an FPGA. In the case of the ECP5, each LUT has 4 inputs and one output, and can therefore implement any 4-input logic function, and combined for more complex logic. An FPGA with 3x the LUTs can therefore be considered to be able to implement 3x...

    DIY replacement battery

    The power adaptor for the Pandora is rated 5V 2A, so well within reach of most power banks which can do 2A or more - and 10W sounds like a lot anyway, under almost all circumstances I expect the Pandora would be less than 1A. The connector is the same one as the PSP, so a "USB to PSP" cable...
