    "Smach Z is Back!" ...?

    My favorite stretch goal: Emulators at 500.000$. I mean - why would anybody not just be able to install the emulators they want? Just using emulators is harder than installing them on most distributions of Linux. And the other problem: Emulators are intellectual property of their developers. You...

    THE NUMBERS IMAGE THREAD!

    @atari_afternoon That's a pretty cool and simple toy to teach kids about gas density. When I was a kid, I always liked those cheap toys that came with comic magazines and were advertised as "magic", but my parents could explain to me scientifically.

    If the building of nerdom crumbles to pieces when its inhabitants can't give their computers names on an unrelated scheme, then I sure am happy not to be part of this club. Oh wait, it doesn't. You just have a very strange definition of what a nerd is. To elaborate on why I don't do that: I...

    hostname ideas

    Am I the only one without any imagination? I just wanted to call it "Agricola's Pyra" or something like that, exchanging Agricola with my real name. Haven't done it any differently with my other computers :$

    it's still working pandebian?

    Willkommen @Willkommen! I don't have a Pandora myself, so I'm not sure how to flash the NAND, but to my knowledge you can get whatever OS you want to try on an SD card. Then you'll not be in any danger to brick your Pandora, as an badly working OS can just be erased from the SD card by...

    Is Minotaur One handheld laptop worth watching ?

    Come on, that horrible layout was asking for it! And with the little information we have on the Minotaur One, there's nothing else to talk about.

    Is Minotaur One handheld laptop worth watching ?

    One thing on their website is concerning me a lot: That's great, but when you have a company, you should have some legal information there. And trusting a "talented team" of what seems like are just 2 guys, some CTO and man named Bret, isn't very easy to me. The only thing I could learn about...

    Travelling to Vienna

    YES, d-pad tweaking! I'm so excited for a Pyra with an amazing d-pad, only heard good things about the Pandora's one, so I trust you to do it right - this is an important key feature to me. Prototypes being send out to developers is also great, especially because it seems you guys already found...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    ...yes? If an old device still works for the tasks I want to throw at it, why should I get a new one? Sometimes I also love using old tech for nostalgia or "history lessons" (I was born in '94, so there's not as much old tech for me to be nostalgic about, but it's sometimes great to look back at...

    The end of headphone jacks, the rise of DRM

    For me, it was the Sony Ericsson W810i. Great cellphone with a lot of battery life, but it was sold as a walkman phone and didn't have a headphone jack. I still use it from time to time, but back when it was my only phone, this was a major drawback. I think the title "The end of headphone...

    Holidays are over!

    I'd also like to have a plastic d-pad, not a rubber one. Had mostly bad experiences with rubber d-pads, but all about their flaws is already said by others, so I won't go into detail. I would like to know if the sealed speakers are glued in there or if the sealing rubber can be removed with the...

    Unusual screen tearing in GBC emulators

    Eh? Didn't we play them 16,67% slower than the rest of the world and 20% faster now if we don't use PAL roms? This makes your argument even better, I just wanted your math to be correct ;) By the way: The Super Gameboy was known to run games 2,4% faster, and barely anyone even noticed. So having...

    Unusual screen tearing in GBC emulators

    GBC.emu is based on Gambatte, so it makes sense there are bugs they share. Emulators are a lot more complicated than "this hardware is more powerful, therefore it's harder to emulate". Some systems like the Sega Saturn can almost not be emulated at all despite the hardware being relatively...

    Your favorite game intros

    Gunlord. Gunlord all the way. Sadly, there's no decent video of its intro on YouTube, the Dreamcast version added some extra cheese over the Neo-Geo ones. It's amazing. I mostly play arcade style games, so there are not that many I frequently see. Some that stuck in my mind from the last years...

    Read/write of the SD to the USB 3.0 port

    That was actually (more or less) the first question I asked when I got an account here: Link. As long as your SD cards don't support UHS-II and you don't have a cardreader that does, too, you won't get much higher speed. Maybe a couple MB/s more, but not much. And UHS-II cards cost a fortune...

    GamesCom Video and Remaining Tasks

    I... somehow like this idea. It would make it look handmade, show that it's not about the box, but what's inside (a pocketable laptop) is what counts. And with a device that's relatively ugly, but designed utilitarianly, this would make sense. Kinda.

    Media and Press - who should we contact?

    ...unless you mean prototype, elvissteinjr (Sorry) Unbox Therapy is a horrible YouTube Channel in my opinion, seems very much paid off by companies. And very mainstream. Ashens, on the other hand, would be awesome, his viewers being some of the "nerdier" guys on YouTube and some retro gamers...

    Gamescom, sensor upgrade and other nice news

    This video is absolutely horrible to watch, at least in my opinion. The whole feature of being in 360° gets nulled if the camera is shaky and the guy holding it turns on his own the whole time, I have to adjust the perspectice all the time if I want to focus on a single booth, and watching it...

    "Smach Z is Back!" ...?

    The analog stick looks exactly like a XBox 360 one, so I wouldn't be suprised if this was just a evaluation prototype with a hacked-up Steam Controller and/or XBox 360 controller inside. Especially because they don't even have a final CPU/GPU combo. It's just known they want to use one by AMD...

    Gamescom, sensor upgrade and other nice news

    Amazing news as always, I envy everyone who will be able to try the prototypes to both devices at the GamesCom. I'll probably never use the sensors for anything useful, but it's great to read that they got a hardware update even this late in development. Like many other people here, I'm...
