    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    It’s not painted yet, so atm I’m just voicing my opinion like everyone else.

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    I trust ED to do his very best. I think he’s an amazing guy and the reason I have my Pandora is because he’s awesome and generous - I was a Craig preorder and by most accounts ED probably ate some cost for me to have a Pandora. All of that said though, I don’t NEED the Pyra. It’s a...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    Appreciate clarity on this point soon. If it’s going to be painted and there won’t be an option for an unpainted version, I want to know what my refund options are for my preorder. It’s entirely what I don’t want, and functionally pointless. As though you would ever show the Pyra to anyone at...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    We’re talking about making the Pyra look like everything else on the market. I like the Pyra, and the Pandora before it, because it doesn’t. It doesn’t give a shit how ridiculous a full keyboard looks on such a small device. It’s doing its own thing, it’s all about form and function. I’ll wait...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    PLEASE do not paint the cases because of some discoloration. The Pandora (I’m so sorry to say it because I love the thing) looks so cheap as the silver paint starts to scrape off. It makes me less comfortable to use it. It makes me want to baby it. If the material is strong, who cares if it...

    Even more to see here (now)

    Are we being invited to do it one by one? Or do I have to hawk these forums for another couple years. Part of the fun is the wait but I’ll be pissed if I ordered at a reasonable time in 2016 but fall behind because I missed some post here.

    Even more to see here (now)

    To be clear, I have an order confirmation email with “Pyra Preorder (Standard Edition, 4GB RAM)” in there as the item. I thought I was all set. Is there some other step introduced, or are you talking about one that came before? Please don’t make this any more confusing, I really would’ve rather...

    Even more to see here (now)

    I’m happy, as imagine others would be, to pay off the rest of my unit now. I’m not even in the first 500 unless folks have dropped out. I think the initial preorder deposit was ~$300-ish, maybe half? I can put the rest down now if that helps production. I trust you, ED, and frankly I also just...

    Release Ultima 7 (exult)

    Pickle, I’m so sorry, I’ve tried every possible way to place the GOG data files, I still get the error that data wasn’t found. Is it not in the .exult hidden folders? They auto generate, like the CFG, and have a sub folder in each game folder, called gamedat?

    Unusual screen tearing in GBC emulators

    ptitSeb, sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but was wondering if you ever had a chance to look at this? I've done a lot of retro handheld tinkering of late but i keep coming back to the pandora as the best thing I own for this. 8blitter works without tearing but I vastly prefer the...

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    Please please please, ED, whatever you do, don’t go for a coating or paint. I’m totally ok with discoloration or shrink marks. What I don’t want is another handheld that I have to baby because the paint comes off more easily than nail polish.

    Wrapping everything up!

    As much as I like my Pandora, I have to confess that I loved the wait for it just as much. It’s one of the main reasons I preordered the Pyra. It’s nice to have something to look forward to. Once we have it, all the possibilities come into focus. But for that brief while (or in this case not so...

    Ask the Dragon - Date has been set!

    ED, when will we be able to pay off the rest of our orders? I know you don’t want to do it too early but I really just want to pay the darn thing off so I can shift fully into waiting mode. It’s the craziest thing, but my favorite part of the Pandora process ended up being the eager wait...

    Something has gone wrong.

    This x1000. The less painted stuff that will scrape off with time, the better. And why spend money on any tinting or anodization?

    Timidity ALSA MIDI in ScummVM pops and scratches

    That 100% solved the issue!!! I really cannot believe it worked, and after so many years of fiddling too. THANK YOU!!!

    Timidity ALSA MIDI in ScummVM pops and scratches

    Admittedly adlib works fine, but it never sounds like I remember the games sounding, since I had better sound cards back in the day. If that’s the only option then I’ll roll with it. The other options include creative music system emulator, IBM PCjr, PC speaker, adlib, or no music :-/

    Timidity ALSA MIDI in ScummVM pops and scratches

    Gosh, this community is so cool. I’m running at 1.0GHz. I started with eawpats and focused on SQ5 as my main test subject. The popping and scratching happens especially during the Sierra logo, then again when Roger Wilco walks out into the hallway and actual gameplay music runs. I closed...

    Timidity ALSA MIDI in ScummVM pops and scratches

    Hi all, I recently updated to the latest ScummVM and was excited to be able to play favorites like SQ6 without more costly DOS emulation. I installed Timidity and eventually remembered that while Scumm always crashes for me with “Timidity” selected, if I run the separate Daemon, it seems to...

    Open... and close... and open...

    Hopefully all the posts about liquid cooling solutions for a DS sized handheld are meant in jest. If this thing ends up getting a fan or liquid cooling, it's an insta refund for me. If even Microsoft can't figure out the fan in the surface without massive throttling/noise issues, then it's not...
