I found a bug in Excellent Bifurcation. If I die during engagement with one of the big enemies that fire a laser at the beginning of level two, the laser sound keeps sounding until I quit the game. I have no idea if this is specific to the Pandora version or not.

I haven't tried eyecreate's version yet (since I haven't upgraded to the new firmware, there isn't much point), but I actually really like the appearance of First's version - can't think of anything that I'd like changed, and the hotkeys were never a problem for me (especially since they can be...

No, I didn't restart. But it appeared in the start menu as soon as I renamed it to EB.pnd (this was a few hours after I downloaded it).

Yeah, the original option #4 wouldn't be of much use, I agree. The "fancy" option #4 was more of a pie-in-the-sky wish, I didn't think it was actually plausible - I imagine it would be quite difficult to code. By the way, I downloaded Excellent Bifurcation - seems to run quite well...

Thanks! Would be much appreciated. (thinking a bit further about option #4... the REALLY fancy way would be: when you move away from the top of the screen, the top becomes "squished" while the bottom becomes "unsquished", like the sides of something filmed by a wide-angle-lens camera. That way...

Oh sorry, I thought you meant 600x600 on the Pandora. I didn't realize that the original resolution was 600x600. Yes... I can see that there's a definite difficulty here. There are 4 potential options I can see working: 1) stretch horizontally to 800, squish vertically to 480 (like you did)...

Well, it renders at 800x480 on my Pandora, not 600x600 (which I think would be impossible). ;) Why wouldn't 480x480 look good? That's exactly the height of the Pandora's resolution. "Garden of Coloured Lights" had black bars and I don't think anyone complained (and it looks fantastic)...

I think this should be mentioned in this thread. After it was pointed out that this doesn't work on the new firmware, eyecreate decided to fix it and uploaded a new version to the repo. It doesn't seem like many people have tried it yet. Does pressure sensitivity work? Some comments on the repo...

I've been playing this one a lot lately - I've been really busy with some work for a few weeks and this is almost the only thing that I've been using my Pandora for. It's really quite a good game. My current high score is 21351 on "normal", using the 3rd ship from the left. I still can't...

Is there any way to have it display at the correct aspect ratio? Judging by the Youtube videos, the Pandora version of "White Butterfly" is extremely stretched horizontally. There should properly be black bars along the sides. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pOiDIBxYYeg?feature=oembed

Hm, that's a real shame. MyPaint is one of Pandora's "core" features for me, so I don't think I'll be switching to the new firmware until this issue is resolved. I PM'd First about the problem a while ago, but I guess he's busy with other things.

I deleted everything in the spam category today, plus some other spammy stuff. Thank you for tagging the pages! Please do add a [[Category:Spam]] to the page instead of just deleting the text, though (as Double7 and Gruso did, at least in some of their edits) as that makes it easier to find...

Personally, I think smaller keys could be nice. Right now, I find the Pandora's keyboard to be in that awkward range where it's too big to be really comfortable for thumb typing (your thumbs have to move too much) yet too small to work well for normal typing.

I get the sense that some of the companies OpenPandora has been dealing with have been like the guy on the left here:

I'm personally hoping for a Mirasol screen. The readability and extremely low energy requirements of e-paper combined with the colour and high refresh rates of LCD. That's the way it's advertised, anyway. I don't know how accurate that is. I do know that I'd like to be able to read ebooks on...

I'm glad that the cause seems to have been found. :) Any progress since then? Who was responsible for writing the log writing code before HF5?

Nope. That's definitely not the cause. You can test it for yourself. Turn off the icons. Then open any app (i.e. CPU-speed-change), close it, open start menu, press "up" on your d-pad. Note how it scrolls up for a while, then pauses, then scrolls up, then pauses, then continues scrolling up...

I've basically decided not to buy any other device until Mirasol screens (or something similar like pivoting pixels) get going, so I can use the same device for basic smartphone/computing tasks and ebook reading... as such, I'm committed to the Pandora for a year or two further at least.

So you're saying the reason they didn't make it cartoony originally is because the artists who did the original pixel art weren't talented enough to make it in the way they were intending to? I'm not sure I buy that. On the other hand, do I think the guys from Telltale did it in a cartoony style...

Even enhancing the graphics and sound is fraught with danger. Look at the "Monkey Island" remakes, for example - they completely changed the art style to a less realistic, more cartoony one. Even though everything else is kept identical, it changes the feel quite a bit.
