I'm fairly certain that the intention would be to use the mouse (AKA the touchscreen) as the lightgun, rather than using a real lightgun on the pandora. That would be silly! D.

Ha! My reply still makes sense :-) D.

He certainly is. I seem to recall bumping into his free will whilst holidaying in Cornwall - here's hoping it goes back home to him soon. D.

Just like the way the old Amstrad CPC light guns worked (and according to the wiki article cited previously), the PS1 lightgun probably looked at the screen and determined if a bright point (the phosphor dot) is visible while the trigger is depressed. If it is, then it's a hit. If not, then ...

Thanks, I might give that a try - though I was thinking I could use SDL_Image on the Pandora/Linux version and then use a superior solution (say, GraphicEx) on the Windows version. This looks like it might do the job though - but it does carry warnings in the source that it's for coders that are...

Hi all - Work continues apace on PandaBAS, and having settled on a sound library (now using the BASS library for sound and music), I need to be able to load BMP/GIF/PNG images at the very least. Only need to support 8bpp at present. I'm writing PandaBAS in FPC for the linux/pandora versions...

You've answered your own question. Of all the devices, only the Wiz has a "maybe" - The Canoe does indeed have an analog stick, despite the community's derision heaped upon GPH for the abortion that was the GP2X stick. The Pandora is expensive - you'd not say that if it was within your price...

Can I just say that it's difficult to take a man seriously when he consistently confuses "affect" with "effect"? In all honesty, I was in Mr Monkey's position not so long ago - convinced that there is some global conspiracy headed up by Craig, that OPT were up to no good, that all the evil in...

That's okay mate, we've all felt the same way about you for months now ;-) D.

God, I love this game. Played it to death on the Amiga, then became very disappointed on the GP2X when the Megadrive version was so different. Then played the original Jap version on Mame4All on the Pandora, and can't put it down :-) Wonderful game. D.

What would happen if I encounter the following scenario? 1. I'm playing out of the house, and battery drops to say, 10% 2. I come in and plug in, and continue playing 3. Charge reaches 100% Does my pandora then shut down? Or am I missing something here? D.

Yer a gent. Amiga all working now... What core does everyone use? And can we set the initial options in a config file somewhere? D.

Yes - just raw ADF files. Should they be zipped? D.

Can't believe that nobody has mentioned the best turn-based strategy of all time, Chaos! The great-grandfather of them all... Voted many years running as the best Spectrum game ever, and for very good reason. This game is like crack, it's so addictive. D.

Given your obvious communication talents, I'd have thought a chap of your logic and reasoning skills would find the required learning simplicity itself for getting your own emulation and/or port onto the handheld of your choice? In other words, stop demanding that other people give you what...

I don't think that's going to happen - if the Canoe were going to explode with developers it would have done so by now. GPH have dropped the ball again, and need to get a console out that a larger amount of developers actually want to develop for rather than making a console that games players...

I work as a registered nurse in my spare time, so when I'm on a night shift and all the patients are asleep, I get in some PS1/N64/Megadrive/SNES action. Got about 700 games for those systems now, so there's always something to keep me awake :) At home, I don't really get much time playing...

I've had freezes at random points so far - twice last night. Once at the end of E1M1, and then again when I was remapping the shoulders to strafe left/right. Completely locked up with looping sound buffer. Had to use the "hold pandora button and guess" method of killing it. On the other hand, I...

Love it - excellent for an early port! A couple of questions: 1. How do I mouselook with the nub? All I get is an SDL mouse pointer bombing around the screen. 2. Can I load the hipnotic/rogue mission packs? If so, how? The executable appears to be in a PND, and therefore unavailable. 3. Is...

I'm getting something similar in Road Rash - the game slows down when riding uphill (!), characterised by the music slowing down - very noticeable. Disable the music though, and the game runs at full speed with no slowdowns :) D.
