8:05am (australian AEST time) on May 1, 2016. I think the system got confused because I used the "is it ready" website last year instead of waiting for an email. It said it was, so I completed the order. It still took a year to actually ship. It's possible, I wasn't looking outside at the time. :)

I just received an email from Dragonbox saying that my Pyra is now ready to ship and I can change the preorder to an order. I did the preorder to order thing a year ago and received my Pyra last month.

Pre order: 8:05am on May 1, 2016 (AEST timezone) Finalised payment: February 8, 2022.

Pyra Forum User : kojack Pyra Ordering Number: #010582 Pyra Model: Standard 4GB Pyra Color: Dark Chrome Pyra Date of Arriving: February 16, 2023

Yay, that fixed it! I formatted an sdcard to ext4 and copied the dbps over and the emulators no longer lock up on the Load option.

I've been having a bit of trouble with file access. In any of the emulators from this group (that I've tried), if I select Load the program locks up. I can't even shut down the Pyra normally, it times out trying to close "disk manager". I had to do the hard shut down (hold power button). I did...

iirc it was because the Mycroft company itself ran out of money, but the manufacturing and shipping of new devices was all being done by another company for them. The other company wasn't going to make devices they weren't paid for so only made them for new sales.

Mine arrived half an hour ago! Don't worry about the enter key, it popped into place when I touched it.

I just got an email from Fedex, they've picked up my Pyra!!! It's due in 7 days (takes a while to reach Aus). Edit: It's in australia, one state over! Logistically I could have it tomorrow. But Fedex still say next tuesday.

At least the original price I paid was $224, which turned out to be way less than it cost to make. (They also lost over a million dollars to fighting a patent troll) But the company is closing and they are handing off the software side to someone else, so seems a risky purchase. They tried to...

Now also doing better than the Mycroft AI assistant I backed in 2018. I just got an email saying backers won't get their rewards, the company is closing, but people who order now on the web store can get one (they have stock). :(

I did the first page link thing and completed the final payment in Feb 2022 (order 010582). No tracking yet (store order history page also has a blank for the tracking number). Oh well, it's still doing better than the mocap suit I ordered in 2014 (maybe one day...). :)

Swapped to Chrome and got the order to work. Yay, one step closer. Also a little hint for people checking the is it ready site: if there's a space on the end of the order code, it will say the order isn't ready or is invalid. At least in windows a double click select will usually grab a space...

Yay, the site says I can complete the order! Found my voucher code, it applied correctly. Went to shipping method... and got "Unfortunately, there are no carriers available for your delivery address." :( Australia isn't supported? (The store's edit address page won't let me enter a state, the...

Yay, back in the waiting game. :)

Don't forget Ogre3D (open source graphics engine). It's on a bunch of ARM platforms, has GLES/GLES2 and should be able to run on the Pyra. (I may be biased, I'm an admin of the Ogre3D forum and I use it in my teaching job)

The DK2 is exposed to the computer as a 1080x1920 monitor. The way rendering works though is that you render your game's views into a landscape render texture as side by side stereo. Then a second render is done using a 2d eye distortion mesh with the first render texture as it's texture...

Different viscosity (marmite is like very thick honey, vegemite is like very thick peanut butter). Marmite has higher salt content and zero sugar. Vegemite has a little less salt, and a little bit of sugar. Taste is in the same general style, but noticably different (more so than something like...

This thread is making me hungry. (The vegemite bit, not the Surströmming) I've never been a fan of cheese with vegemite. A lot of people like it that way, but I prefer it plain. Many years ago vegemite jars used to have recipe ideas. One said to put a spoon of vegemite into a milkshake. DON"T...
