Of course I didn't mean literally "ARM OS". I meant OS running on ARM, which is different than OS running on x86, and can't run the same software.

I won't be quoting because I'm on mobile. Keyboard isn't needed for PC gaming, that tiny keyboard is barely usable anyways, trying to hit small keys with fat fingers. Just because it's an AMD chip, doesn't mean it's super hot and weak. Stereotyping, much? As for windows: it's literally...

Oh nice troll mods, when I go to reply after I got off work, it's closed but then I later check my email and I'm still getting notifications from this thread. Well I'm going to sleep now, I'll reply in the morning.

Smach Z is everything the Pyra wants to be, is cheaper* and it has greater specs and runs desktop OS, not ARM OSs. *base model compared to estimate of Pyra's price, and the Pro model with more RAM and HD space is about on par with Pyra's estimated price. Plus, Smach Z has a confirmed...

If the pixel density gets so high you can't even perceive the individual pixels, that is when the screen is best, and going further would be pointless. I'm not sure if 1440P on a 5" inch screen is at that point yet, but 720P definitely is not, and more than 4K would most likely be the end for...

As for the argument of: "Well we don't need X specs because Y specs is good enough" It's still going to be roughly the same price or more expensive than signigicantly stronger phones. And Target market doesn't matter. If I target a step stool at kids, short people can still buy and use it...

Already did :) 1440P is a lot for a mobile screen, and that's a good thing. As for performance, with 1440P being double of 720P, you could easy just render it at 720P and upscale. It being upgradable does not excuse poor specs at launch. By the time you release a Pandora 3, stuff like 4K...

The Galaxy S6 is already here. It's roughly the same price the Pyra will be, but it's significantly stronger. 1440P vs 720P screen, 3GB DDR4 RAM vs 2GB RAM, A57 and A53 dual quad core CPUs vs dual A15 quad core CPUS, etc, etc. And there are controller attachments out there to give phones...

Thanks, guys, that really put it into perspective. So readyboost/Swap really only helps when your device is severely low on RAM (compared to its usage of it).

How fast is the Open Pandora's RAM? Isn't it something like 166MHz and 200MHz for the GHz model? I managed to get my SD Card's write speed on my laptop up to a range between 4MB/s to 4.3MB/s (by formatting it to exFAT with 32MB blocks). How fast is 1MHz in MB/s? Is it like 1MHz = 1MB/s, or what?

Hmm, is anyone here with a 1ghz pandora willing to try what (s)he just did to see if it'll run regular Runescape (not talking about Oldschool?

Does overclocking the system damage it over time? I've heard that overclocking can damage CPUs so that they don't last as long as they would if you hadn't overclocked.

Few questions: 1. Can the Pandora Rebirth (600MHz, 512MB RAM) run N64 and Playstation emulation at full speed? 2. Can the Pandora Rebirth (600MHz, 512MB RAM) run Playstation emulation with maximum enhanced resolution (at least up to the Pandora's resolution) and textures (like how ePSXe does...

@Binky: While the P2 has the potential to be able to receive high voltage, it has to be used with a device that can output high voltage to get the full effect. Think about it like this: While your HDTV (the Pandora) can receive HD video, your VHS player (device that's incapable of outputting...

What large games like Runescape? In order to bump up the graphics settings you'd need more RAM. @TrashyMG: Efficient systems are good, but efficient systems with even more RAM are better. That's why I created this thread.

I don't see how the 3DS is relevant in this topic.

There could be plenty of programs and games that could use the extra RAM. I'd imagine that tough to emulate systems, like the DS, would need more RAM to run properly. . . DS emulation on the Pandora could most definitely use the extra RAM. My laptop can't even emulate Golden Sun Dark Dawn (a DS...

By remote desktop, I was talking about while you're in your own house on your WiFi or connected directly to the PC.

Basically, would it be possible to have a background process similar to Readyboost on PCs that uses space on the SD Card for extra RAM? This could give the Pandora a pretty good speed up. My laptop (normally) does Super Mario Sunshine emulation at a steady 5 fps in levels. After I reformatted...

A dedicated charging port is not really necessary. Just include a USB-to-wall-outlet adapter with all P2s instead of a power cord.
