    Pocketable or Comfortable

    A big selling point for me would be the possibility of putting it in my jacket or (rather large)jeans pocket. The current pandora fits, but only just, mainly because of it's thickness. In terms of comfort, my only problem is the size of the keyboard and the travel distance of the shoulder...

    WiFi mysteries resolved once and for all — Power saving is clearly the culprit!

    I have an original gc 256mb Pandora. I have not tried the wifi mod. Before the patch I had a stable ~80kb/s and around 50ms ping to my router. (power-savings on) Unfortunately I didn't think of measuring it with power-savings off After the patch I have an unstable 0 - 450kb/s (avg 50-60) and...

    Too much hyperbole is giving me the fear.

    The far most important factor for me is that the size of, and space between the keys are not changed, the keyboard of the p1 is on the verge of being too small for anything typing related. Second is that it keeps atleast one fullsize sd and fullsize usb. Third is that it comes with linux, i...

    More Pandora 2 crap (MicroSD Split)

    Depending on which soc is choosen in the future, 4 slots could be very impractical, since the device might not have enough SD controllers (or enough fast controllers). From what I've read, the chip in the panda has 3 controllers, we use 2 for the SD slots and the remaining for wifi. The...

    Pandora Are you an active developer on Pandora?

    Thanks DREDD, i'll try and make them as fun as possible :) Heh, Spiff's facial expression reminds me of Robo Red from commander keen 5: (Picture shamlessly stolen from keen wiki on shikadi.net and then rehosted)

    Pandora Are you an active developer on Pandora?

    Sure, if you mean games that run on the engine, the engine itself is non-interactive right now tough, so I can't show any internals in a console or some such. The most developed game: That's the game I was intending to have a demo of for the rebirth competition, it's the platform action...

    5" 1080p screens becoming a reality just in time for P2?

    As long as the next screen has less ghosting and has at least the same resolution as the panda has right now I'm ok with it. (I'd prefer 16:10 ratio instead of a 16:9 though)

    How would you prefer to save progress?

    Since trust doesn't seem to bother you too much, I'd go with something along the lines of keeping the savegames + character locally, when connecting to a server, the server asks you if you want to sync your character, create a new character or migrate a character from another server. That way...

    Repo rating system: 5 stars or binary ratings?

    I'm also in favor of a +1/-1 system, unless a system like what Znirk suggested is implemented, then i'd probably like to stick with the 5 star system, even tough we all have different opinions on what said stars means. For me, they mean 1 = bad, 2 = ok, 3 = good, 4 = Excellent, 5 = This is...

    Should repo uploaders be allowed to delete their contributions at will?

    Sorry, first off i just realized that i wasn't entierly clear; i meant for the already existing stuff on the archive, the newly added stuff dosn't matter since the author should read through all the options before pressing submit. But for the already existing stuff, I belive it's better to...

    Should repo uploaders be allowed to delete their contributions at will?

    (Poll reply:) The repo, to me, isn't only a sort of proxy for hosting nor is it a community managed super archive. To me it's a central place where I can upload and manage all my work and ratre, comment and check out on others work. I agree that the new box for allowing the work to be...

    Pandora Are you an active developer on Pandora?

    I'm a bit late to the party but anyway, I'm sort of active, if working an hour or two on my own Panda related projects a month can be considered active. I've ported: RoadFighter remake Maze of Galious remake PrequEngine (for running Little Big Adventure 1) But most of the time I've...

    Proper Bounty Section on new Website?

    In Sweden we have something called 'arbetsplacerad utbildning' or just 'praktik' which is basically working for free, just to get experience. However if you do this at a nice company they often pay for your food and for your traveling expenses ("You shouldn't need to pay to work for us")...

    Pandora PND packagers: 1) Please provide previewpics. 2) Define primary pic if you give multiple!

    Couldn't the offset and length be included in the PXML file? This would make the creation process a bit more complex, but if tools like pnd_make.sh is modified for this, it shouldn't complicate too much. How does libPnd handle it now, since both the pxml and icon file are appended, simply...

    Pandora PND packagers: 1) Please provide previewpics. 2) Define primary pic if you give multiple!

    @skeezix (And anyone else interested): Just had an idea, but why not keep the preview pic outside the disk image, why not just append it/them instead? then when parsing the pxml file, grab them in order of appending (or go by some tag, like PIC1). Shouldn't this speed up the whole loading...

    Cube Engine Game

    Hmm well, if you are talking about cube 1 (not sauerbrauten / cube 2) there is a older version for the Dell axim-x50 that uses ogles 1.0 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/files/cube/2004_05_22/ ) That supposedly runs singleplayer games with ram usage below 128mb. After a (very) quick glance...

    Pandora How is the Pandora button handled?

    The hard reboot (power switch + pandora button) is done in hardware and is as far as I know not configurable. I think the rest is done in software, probably a script.

    Can Kyntt be ported?

    Unfortunatly that is, as knytt stories, a multimedia fusion project file and cannot be ported. That is, there is nothing to be ported as such, but reading the clickteams website reveals that the developer version of mmf2 can export into Java. So if anyone here has that version, we could try...

    Can Kyntt be ported?

    I have taken a quick look at the sources and there is a lot of ds specific code and magic numbers. My guess is that it might actually be easier to rewrite the engine.

    [Portrequest] Return to the roots (Settlers 2)

    That is a complex project and at a glance it looks like it's a lot of gl code all around it; I hope someone is up to the challenge, I still play it a lot, and on the go would be very nice.
