    GamesCom 2012 conclusion?

    Wish I could come to this...just priced up tickets for the wife and me...bit over budget really. Is there much else to see in Cologne? Yunno, intereresting tourest type places? I could turn it into a long weekend :-)

    Pandora random reboots :-(

    Hmmm, I must admit I didn't remove and re-insert the battery as it all seemed tightly held together. Very soon after recieving the unit a small piece of plastic broke off the battery cover, which could potentially reduce the 'clip-in-tight' effect, but it all seemed just fine until last week...

    Pandora random reboots :-(

    Hi there, I'll throw this out here in case it's a known issue - I seem to recall others mentioning it ages ago but can't be sure. Yes, I took my Pandy on holiday last week and enjoyed playing through Super Mario World. However, I found my unit rebooted several times - in the end it became...

    Stop Battery Drainage During Standby Mode?

    Yes, the newer firmware is truly amazing. In fact it has completely removed the requirement for the 'sleep timer' application I added into the application repository a while back... I went away for a weekend during the jubilee and forgot to bring my pandy with me, I came back after 5 days and...

    How much to replace original case with the new one?

    Hmmm, could do with a new battery cover...mine split fairly soon after I recieved it (I nearly cried...until I discovered it still works...unless I place it on the table slightly less than carefully). Will you add black case parts eventually?

    Refurbished Units now available.

    But will it have working WI-FI?

    What do you think will usurp facebook?

    Google+ is far better in my opinion but I doubt it will take over fb. G+ groups are great. I can post at work but not include my boss so he doesn't know I've posted!

    CPU Usage

    Wow, just tried notaz SDL mod - super smooth...but slower. Do I need to remove my wait on each loop? EDIT: I removed the SDL_Delay still same problem...oh well.

    CPU Usage

    That is what I already do B-Zar. I blit all tiles to an offscreen-buffer, then on each frame blit that buffer to the visible display. Yesterday, I implemented scrolling (just horizontal right now). So now, I store 3 off-screen buffers (middle, left and right) - I then display all 3 frames...

    CPU Usage

    Thanks for you intput mcobit - it is well appreciated :-) Still, I would be interested in as many opinions as possible. Does anybody know if I will gain much by attempting to convert my SDL_Suface objects to openGL ones. I've implemented a Tile-based 'engine', so I have lots of blitting to...

    CPU Usage

    Hi there folks! I have recently returned to hacking together a game for (primarily) the Pandora. However, I'm concerned or am wondering if I should be concerned about the cpu usage of my game...it's running at between 50% and 75%!! This is clocked at 500Mhz. On my desktop it runs at 4% (it's...

    LemmingsSDL - Question about home-console exclusive levels

    If you can find the levels you talk of, I'm sure there would be a way to implement them. I used the LemmingsDS level format (I thought I would be wasting my time figuring out the original format...I started and gave up when I discovered LemmingDS!). Included in that version is both a level...

    On first interactions with open source communities…

    I fully agree not to be harsh on someone who is new to a community _and_ is actually offering something - that just going to scare someone off. Also, you don't know how old the person is; they might be a little kid and I would hate the thought of a bunch of adults described something my son had...

    ZX Spectrum birthday

    Wow. That speccy music is incredible. Most of the speccy music like that barely had a tune (trantor the last stormtrooper was awfull - but Heartland was lovely). You had to amp the sound up though.

    Has anyone played Legend of Grimrock (Dungeon Master type-game)?

    Hmmm. It was always my understanding that there were 'spawn points' in certain parts of DM. In fact playing the fabulous DungeonMaster for the Pandora seems to prove this. Near the end of (about) the 3rd level there is a small area with a door that automatically closes when you get a certain...

    Well, that's decided then - I shall have to purchase it tonight! Cheers guys :-)

    Has anyone played Legend of Grimrock (Dungeon Master type-game)?

    Hi there people, As a MASSIVE fan of Dungeon Master, I'm seriously looking into getting this game: http://www.grimrock.net/ It seems to have pretty good reviews and looks really nice. I'm still enjoying the Pandora version of DM though - it works like a charm on our beloved handheld :-) m

    What single player game have you sunk the most time into..

    I agee. I bought Lemmings 'The Tribes' for my Amiga and whilst it looked lovely I never really got into it. Too much new stuff all at once which didn't really add a great deal....plus no two-player mode!

    What single player game have you sunk the most time into..

    well it used to be Dungeon Master (Atari ST) but I reckon my recent (last ~4 months), I have blown many many hours of my life with Minecraft. I find it so horribly addictive it's beginning to concern me. I NEED to stop... Then again, I completed every single level on Lemmings (Amiga) and that...
