Thanks Gruso, I'll do that. This is really quite amazing stuff. Has a group of enthusiasts ever come this far before with a project like this? I can't think of anything really. I know the tech world will consider Pandora late and old now, but it's still quite a feat that it made it to...

Wow... I've been away for a good while... And here the Pandora is released and the MAME shots looks wonderful. I must admit, I had doubts about the Pandora getting done. But I'm glad to see things have worked out in the end. I may just order one again sometime. Haven't played MAME or any...

Hmm.

Did you see a complaint? I only asked for user impressions. Thanks sbock, Davec and centrlink for the feedback.

Hey everyone, how well is the screen tearing fix working? Are most games still able to run full speed without frame skipping with it enabled? Also, anyone who also has a PSP - how is gpSP on Wiz compared to the PSP version? Better or worse in any way? I'd be curious to hear an impression or two.

Yeah, it's more homebrew for sure. As for MUGEN mods, you don't need source code to make a mod for any game, just the external data files and an understanding of their format. But porting requires that you adapt and recompile for the new hardware platform, so that's why you need source code for...

First of all, MUGEN has nothing to do with emulation, so wrong board. Next, when asking about porting something to any platform, the first question you should ask yourself - is there source code available? If there is, then the app can probably (though not always) be ported to some degree. If...

If you have any reservations about the tearing (after you see what it's like) don't buy a Wiz. It's the main reason I'm holding off. Things like that are enough to put me off from really enjoying a device, and I know that about myself. For less picky people it's probably not a big deal. For...

Reading thru the thread - you completely deserved what you got. This community is old, and you will quickly alienate yourself from us if you annoy the people that truly make this scene happen (hint, it's not people like me and you, it's the programming geniuses who share their hard work with us...

If I had a Wiz I would've done a review for you. Oh well. But yeah, I can agree about DaveC - he knows his stuff.

Every handheld needs some Jetpac. :P And yeah, a lot of non-euros know about the Speccy actually. We used to get some British game mags back in the day, and I enjoyed reading about the Spectrum and other systems we didn't have here in the USA. Plus the emulation scene really gave everyone a...

I recently dug my BLU out and was sad to see the L button died. I know how to fix it but I'm too lazy right now. Funny how awful the screen seems now after owning a DS Lite and PSP for a few years. The BLU screen seemed so nice back in the day.

It's still very early days. Basically until more devs get a Wiz and fall "in love" with the device, things will be slow. There's always a slow period at the start of these types of hobbyist devices, as devs explore them and learn what's possible. I think a few flaws (screen tearing, RAM issues)...

As of this moment, the Wiz. It has a good future ahead of it I think, and you can actually buy one now. I think the price is slightly high (IMO $150 would be ideal) and it has a few kinks to work out yet (read the sticky post from warmfluffy) but overall it seems pretty cool. The Pandora is...

It's good to see feedback like that. Thanks WF. Personally, I remain interested in the Wiz, but will wait a while longer and see how things go. I have a question that maybe you can get an answer about - being an old fan of Her Knights, I wonder if the Wiz version will offer any technical...

I saw the thread in question (I posted in it in fact). I'm sad to hear it was deleted. I was hoping maybe CC orders would resume so I could reorder (I'm one of those unwilling to use less secure methods). This matter really should be addressed, one way or the other. Deleting something doesn't...

That's the CDi with the crappy Zeldas, not 3DO. 3DO was the first console to have impressive texture mapped 3D games (it was still the 16bit era of SNES & Genesis), a good while before the PSX and Saturn showed up. It actually had a few good games. And it had arguably the best version of Out of...

Good numbers. Clearly the Wiz is capable of significantly faster performance than the GP2X, albeit not at the level some people would assume from the CPU speeds. But that's not the point - 45 fps is better than than 25 fps! That's the point! I wonder how the Wiz compares to the PSP in terms of...

Well that sucks. Should be fixable with a refined calibration routine in firmware though, right? GPH just has to do it.

It's not smart to ask for definite dates with this sort of project. There are too many variables and just a small but talented dev group. Honestly, just concentrate on other things until one day you hear Pandora is finally done. That's what I'm doing. The Wiz is out now for example, and will...
