    Forgetting At Home, How Will You Connect To The Net?

    Most places I know either have open wifi or wifi where I know the key (Most locations at Georgia Tech have wifi that's open to students).

    Accessories/ultimate Docking Station Thread

    on Aug 1 2008, 02:22 AM QUOTE More than a docking station it would be nice to have an (almost) empty plastic "pack" that fits the bottom of the pandora, locks in place in some way and has an internal usb hub and room for a few usb dongles. Ideally it would also have a power connection, so that...

    Esc

    This is actually a pretty cool idea. Left shoulder button to go into command mode. Right shoulder button to go to insert mode (and should not insert an 'i' if already in insert mode). A very simple tweak to the vim source (or even perhaps a .vim script) should enable this.

    Simple Keyboard Poll

    Some are, some aren't. I'm not worried because 1) I don't need special characters. I only use English and Japanese, which can be typed in an IME. 2) For nontrivial typing tasks I'll just use a bluetooth keyboard. Seriously guys, a 4.5 inch keyboard? You're not going to be writing essays...

    What Games 'should' Work In Dosbox

    Megarace Lode Runner: The Legend Returns. I played both on my 486 with no hiccups, so hoping for the best. Best of all, even if the DOS versions of those won't work, they have console ports too. Megarace on the Sega CD and Lode Runner: TLR on PSX.

    Any Gripes?

    You're absolutely right. However, Someone's got it running on PSP with 2.5 FPS. If Pandora can get 10 or so FPS without optimization, some games would still be playable with frameskip (Pheonix Wright games for example). I acknowledge that an unoptimized port will not be playable on many...

    Games That You Can't Wait To Play On Your Pandora.

    Also, Studio Pixel - creator of Cave Story - has said something along the lines of not providing source for porting purposes now that it's going to be commercially available on WiiWare, so there's a bit of a situation there. I love the game but would hate to piss off the creator.

    Bank Transfer Numbers

    Question about re-preorders from the US. If it preferred to convert the amount refunded into GBP to send it, or leave it in USD?

    Keys Scratching Screen?

    Yep, happens with my laptop as well, carrying it in a laptop case. If the keys are soft and convex, though, it should be easy to wipe off any marks they leave, as it's just residue, not scratches.

    Console Wars

    If you want an open source console, just use a Linux PC. There really isn't any challenge there.

    Compile For Pabdora Under Pandora?

    Absolutely! You can develop for Pandora on Pandora. The biggest hurdle will be coding on the tiny keyboard, but if you use a larger usb or bluetooth keyboard, there's nothing stopping you.

    Is Multiplayer Possible On The Pandora?

    Can the hardware do it? Absolutely, without question. Can the software do it? Well, that's rather difficult to code, keep in sync, and deal with networking issues. Look at PC emulators: Not many have netplay, and for good reason. It's usually either very laggy or has problems with dropped...

    Win 2k?

    As a computer/music enthusiast, I have to throw my two cents in as well concerning what you said. Windows and Mac absolutely have the edge when it comes to audio production. One of the reasons is that it takes a HUGE amount of effort and money to create a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation, for...

    Pandora In The Future

    It's pretty pointless to speculate about a "Pandora 2" that may happen in a few years when the original Pandora isn't shipped yet. Computer hardware is a rapidly changing field. What hardware is available and is practical in a few years time is very difficult to predict. Making suggestions...

    Any Snes Fans In The House?

    Isn't Pandora fast enough to run Snes9x, even on the most demanding of titles, like Super Mario RPG? If so, isn't this just reinventing the wheel?

    Cell Phone.

    VoIP over wifi, with a phone number? Sure. Just use a SIP-compliant VoIP service that gives you a phone number (these are not free), and a linux VoIP app like Ekiga. Voice over a cell network using a usb GSM/CDMA modem and the internet coverage of your plan? No. The contracts specifically...

    Charging Via Usb?

    If there's a USB slot around, either there's also a power outlet around, or that USB slot isn't going to charge you for very long.
