The more platforms you support the more people will play your games :) The GPH handhelds all have the same screen resolution and controls, and 320x240 doubled to 640x480 looks good on Pandora's screen, too.

Thanks for the port! You should put it on the repo, I had no idea you ported Wolf4SDL to Pandora (big fan of your GP2X version back in the day :) ).

I understand, I was thinking more about remembering the Pandora 20 years from now and being able to run all my old PND's as they are into an emulator or compatibility layer application (like GINGE for GP2X programs). However, I can see the angle of Pandora being more about the format than about...

It would be nice for the sake of preserving history - both of individual software and of the platform as a whole. Most Pandora software is ports and emulators, sure, but just as it was the case with the GP32, GP2X, etc, there are always some cool original programs that get lost when the hardware...

For Trap75 I use the following to display a 400x240 SDL buffer fullscreen: export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=omapdss export SDL_OMAP_LAYER_SIZE=pixelperfect See Notaz's readme for all the options.

As hardware gets more capable, the attention most devs pay to detail and optimization goes way down.   For example, quite a few Pandora games are straight PC ports that struggle at the default 600MHz, where they should fly at half the clock speed. Some porters don't even bother to map the proper...

The simplest way is to use the Linux SDK (archive link), it worked without a hitch when I tried it a few years ago.

I know what you mean, the GP32 and GP2X really pushed me to learn programming, fun times :) Thanks for that GPSDK link.   By the way, might want to add Quadtris to the archive.

The GP32 lives on! What toolchain are you using these days? (If I remember well GPSDK are just libraries)   Sadly Mr. Mirko's SDK page is no longer around, but devkitPro still is :)

Thanks for the new game commander! I like how you made use of Pandora's unique controls, makes a complex game very playable. Feedback for 0.8.0.2: Space bar doesn't open How to Play, and the Hardware Info screen doesn't tell you how to get back to the game (press A). Also, the Pandora Key...

Check out Lazy Foo's tutorials, they're an excellent way to learn the basics of game programming with C/C++ and SDL and they cover everything including setting up your dev environment.

Thanks for the nice article! Feature request: repo links to all the awesome software you mentioned there.

Since you already know C, take a look at http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/ for some game development basics with SDL.

Hi Sam, good to see you! I'll consider enhancements like Compo4All later on, this was just a GP2X port for fun over the holidays. If I'll add online hiscores, I'll make sure to keep backwards compatibility with the current ones :)

Trap75 is a game like Jezzball, where you need to cover 75% of each level's space without getting your lines hit by the moving balls. Features boss levels and a hiscore table. Download from repo    INSTALL Put Trap75.pnd in /sd/pandora/menu/ and run Trap75 from the launcher. Tested on...

It's always a breath of fresh air to use my Pandora with its clean screen right after using my fingerprint-covered phone. Resistive all the way!

I'm sure more than a few people would like some photos and a little more info on that :)

What options do we have when it comes to replacing these proprietary batteries? If we find a generic one that fits the voltage and mAh of the original, we should technically be able to rig it in and power the Wiz with it, right? I'm sure if we look around hard enough we can find something.

Sqdef (built-in game) shows a volume bar, you could use that to test if there's anything wrong with your volume buttons.

A quick online search for "vfat uppercase file names" reveals that all-uppercase file names can be a problem. I'm not sure if Caanoo can use ext2-formatted cards out of the box, because that would be a solution.
