I'm a lazy programmer, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Optimisation can make the code harder to understand and maintain so there's no point doing it unless there are performance problems.

It will be perfect and imperfect for some value of perfect.

Not all window managers are bloated. e.g. Evilwm. The statically linked executable on the gp2x is only about 1 MB, twm isn't much larger.

We tried free speech, remember the Slipzone? That's the reason you need moderators.

It's out :)

If you're looking for more emulators on the Pandora, wouldn't it have been better to tell the people on the list that they were on it?

I see no reason it should be any worse than the GP2X. The SmartQ has a better battery life and supports more formats but if you want emulators/home brew the Wiz is better.

It does use SDL but the code but there is still some windows specific code that would have to be ported.

It depends what you want and how much you want to spend. The Simpsons runs fine (don't know about TMNT) in MAME on the gp2x so in should be fine on the Wiz. Don't know what the comic reader is like but it has one so the Wiz should meet your needs. The Pandora is more powerful but also more...

Edit: Never mind - didn't read the original post properly.

Noooooooo... This subject has been done to death e.g. this, this and who could forget this?

You can see them in the second picture in the brochure.

I have a user account on my GP2X, I don't see why the Pandora wouldn't be able to do it.

How could they not want Garden2X? :) edit: Probably unplayable with the second D-pad

Interesting, a definite contender for a replacement when my GP2X dies. I'm not sure about the D-pad some games could be a problem. Pity about networking but having a clock is good. I didn't notice any allegro games in the free game shots - wonder if there's a problem?

GP2X apps don't kill the menu, the menu kills itself by running the .gpe/.gpu with exec() which replaces the menu process with new one. You then have to call exec in your app or launch script to rerun the menu. I don't think there are many, if any, apps that change the run level, there are no...

It wasn't just emulators, someone was giving their program 10 and voting down any file above their's to maintain an entry in the top ten. This wouldn't matter if lots of people voted because the low mark would be lost in the average but most files only got less than 10 votes and were ignored...

The only thing that has given me motion sickness is xcruiser. There's even a warning in the readme.

X server is not fluff, it opens a lot of porting opportunities. If you want a terminal, there's xterm or a simple GUI there's matchbox or a complicated one KDE/Gnome.
