    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    I was merely clarifying the situation with HMV in the UK since you weren't from here rather than accusing you of anything! They are one of the biggest if not the biggest CD, DVD, games, etc retailer in the UK, at least of ones that specialise in mostly new stock, so it does feel like a slightly...

    A bit of honesty please!

    hmmm on the latest beta, including the zram and using the latest firefox, i have been on several sites and streamed video pretty effectively, perhaps with the occasional stutter, and certainly not in very high resolution but just fine. the trouble i find with sites like youtube is that the...

    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    Actually no, this is a genuine second hand game involvement. Over the last few years HMV has offered a Re-Play section with traded in games available at a discounted compared to New Retail price. I don't know if the games manufacturers get a cut or anything but it is definitely not a returns...

    A bit of honesty please!

    with the N64 buttons, i remap the C buttons to pandora keyboard buttons which is really handy. not got it with me right now but i think i used IJKM and it feels pretty natural and sits in a similar position to the C joystick on the gamecube controllers so games like zelda feel pretty similar to...

    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    well, i don't see this happening too soon for some companies, particularly nintendo. i think a relatively large share of gamers would just stop buying games if they were unable to resell them as soon as they finished it. considering just how many used copies of games end up in second hand...

    ... and production still is reliable and moving forward :) (2012-05-11)

    interesting project! i would love something like this for the pandora to control music and whatever else can be made to work on the go, or even in the house!

    Love Songs..?

    These are some all over the place choices, and not all the most obvious love songs, but they give me that kind of feeling at least! Easyworld - Til The Day Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love Fleetwood Mac - Need Your Love So Bad Depeche Mode - Somebody Suede - The Wild Ones Erasure -...

    Considering selling does that make me bad?

    nah its just healthy debate! its important to see whats doable and to work out if it is a worthwhile avenue to explore. i think the best solution is to have the pandora and to also have an android phone. you might find an android phone + an icontrolpad is your best option but you wouldn't know...

    Considering selling does that make me bad?

    http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2853-openpandoraandroid/page__st__40#entry49602 whilst you posted i did find my answer! i can understand going for it as an option but having to unofficially hack around to get unsanctioned access to apps from the marketplace sounds like plenty...

    Considering selling does that make me bad?

    the "easy to use" thing sounds an interesting argument. on one hand i understand that android will take all the responsibility of dealing with the files when you download them and then some voodoo happens and you start using them but i dont feel like i understand anything actually going on under...

    Considering selling does that make me bad?

    for all that android is a popular OS for capacitative phones and pretty widespread, aren't there quite large restrictions to devices that they allow access to the android marketplace? i was under the impression that even if we could get android on the pandora, we would have a slightly harder...

    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    i wouldn't beat yourself up too much, your existing investments in GC and DC stuff sounds at least as worthwhile as the rest of those!

    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    do you actually regret it or do you more feel like it maybe wasnt the wisest way to spend money?

    The biggest computer/gaming mistake you have ever made.

    my biggest mistake is ALWAYS around my own impatience. i am usually very very good at holding out on new releases and often not even rushing to the latest generation. this all changed a couple of years ago when transformers war for cybertron came out. i've always been a massive transformers fan...

    Design discussion

    on the subject of resistive vs capacitative touchscreens, i honestly cannot see a clamshell design like the pandora functioning comfortably enough to make it a worthwhile switch over resistive. to sit and hold the screen in two hands by the lid would put more weight on the hinge than i would be...

    Release Qemu for Pandora (for rebirth competition)

    ooh this is making me seriously consider creating disc images of my copies of gabriel knight: sins of the father and gabriel knight: the beast within to see if they will run on there. don't imagine two many problems for the first one but the second one might just be pushing my luck!

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    i am still playing through Zelda: Skyward Sword, just finished Bully and L.A. Noire and playing lots of World Championship Snooker on the pandora playstation emulator. just got a 126 break in the championship final against Dennis Taylor :D

    D-pad modding (accessibility issue)

    Hmmm, I would actually not recommend trying to mod the D-Pad if possible. My Pandora came pretty stiff out of the box so far as the D-Pad is concerned but it loosened to a very agreeable degree quite quickly. It doesn't just keep becoming easier though, it kinda plateaus at a reasonable level...

    New video review of the Pandora

    I know how you feel, and I held off until beta 4 but after all the talk on the subject of ZRAM along with the suspend mode and everything else, along with increase stability really sold me on jumping in and from what I can tell is massively worth it and a huge leap forward in what makes the...
