All it takes is a few thousand tabs. On a Pyra, though, I doubt that would occur: the small screen would make the multitude of tabs unmanageable; the CPU may not be up to it, either.

While I am generally in the "more is better" camp, it occurs to me (judging by somewhat suspect, but probably good enough in this case, Instructions Per Second (IPS) figures) that the Pyra's CPU is roughly equivalent in power to a desktop PC's in 2003, whereas the Pandora 1GHz's CPU is roughly...

From my point of view, Fallout is better for playing the first time, while Fallout 2 is better for replays (because it is bigger and more featureful). So, a static recompilation of Fallout 2 would be better for those who have already played the games, while neophytes would benefit more from...

In the thread linked to the Phoronix article, I saw a link to http://appimage.org/, which is quite interesting. I, just now, downloaded a 50MiB file -- the "AppImage" of Subsurface -- and, after running chmod +x <file> (I later confirmed that my file manager, Thunar, was capable of doing this...

September 2016. If there are no major glitches, why not?

The price should be excluded, as it is likely to fluctuate (who know what GPS will do), not to mention second-hand sales etc.. Plus, the Pyra price is not yet settled. Is the Intel CPU better? Yes, if I had to guess. More cores is relevant. I would prefer to be wrong, so please prove it. Pyra...

It was like that before I got there. I chose not to change the order. It would be better if there were more non-Pyra non-Pandora devices to compare. Are there any other competitors? I suspect that we would go to far if we end up needing to add a "Keyboard -- Yes/No" row.

Part of the point is to show that the Pyra will be superior (as we genuinely believe). Since the Pyra will be better in almost every way than the Pandora, it is unlikely that there will be a situation where the Pyra is red while the Pandora is not. If we really wanted to, we could perhaps...

Well... GiB (GibiByte -- 2^30, not GigaByte--10^9) is less ambiguous, so I prefer it. I agree with the idea of making this as neutral as possible. I did not colour the "size" cells, but I do not disagree with colouring them either -- it is a grey area, I think. Other coloured cells are...

I have expanded this comparison page: https://www.pyra-handheld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_Chart Please check it for accuracy, assure that my value judgements (the colours) are justifiable and add more data as you see fit.

I have not played these on the Pandora -- my right nub is biased downwards most of the time, so I would end up shooting only the ground. Still, I cannot imagine it being very easy; my aim is not great even with a mouse.

Cool! However, this prompts a question I have meant to ask for a while: how is this game played without a mouse? While my Pandora's right nub is faulty, admittedly, I find it difficult to imagine it being easy to aim with the nubs. Would all attempts at play need to be on Tourist mode? If the...

Pardon me, but when you just said "CPU" the pedant in me said that the Z80 is a CPU and that it could, in principle, emulate itself. If by "CPU" you meant "modern Intel CPU", then that is very different, as they are about 40x faster at a given clock speed (for one core, for a quad core 160x). Do...

I thought the Dreamcast (reicast) was effectively Pyra-ready and Pyra-only (at reasonable frame-rates)? I have a slight hope, given a lot of programming effort by someone, that less demanding games like Disgaea may be playable (though in that particular case PPSSPP would likely be better)...

I tempt correction from the more knowledgeable, but I shall speculate based on some Instructions Per Second (IPS) and FLoating-point Operations per Second (FLOPS) data I have found on the web. Firstly, according to this table, the Pandora's Cortex-A8 has 2 IPS per Hz, so for a 1GHz Pandora...

I was about to say "touché", but: USB cameras, good fellow!

The Pyra is/will be a computer*. Of course it can display websites. Of course it can play video and music. Of course it can play games. Of course it can compile software. Of course it can run office software. Of course it can mimic inferior electronics systems** (and other computers). What can...

**Disclaimer: I am not a marketing professional. Dunning-Kruger may well apply.** I suggest caution about making the project look too professional (and using an "implausibly" attractive female -- unless she looks understatedly geeky -- in even the most tame fashion screams "professional" --...

Plus, there may be some other people, like me, who cannot be bothered with the perceived "hassle" of paying twice and would rather pay everything at once. I have sufficient savings and would rather pay my fee in full, and look forward to my shiny new toy, than pay in part and think, too, of...
