    Since you mentioned a sansa, I'm assuming subscription support refers to Rhapsody. A quick google search revealed that the Rhapsody firefox plugin is available for linux, but only for x86. x86_64 can use nspluginwrapper, but that's no help for the Pandora. However, the Rhapsody site lists the...

    Audio Jack

    Nope, according to the render it's on the front. I hadn't thought about that before, seeing as how I'm planning on using the Pandora as an mp3 player that might present a slight problem. Then again, my mp3 player's headphone jack is on the side, and it works fine in my pocket, though it is much...

    Total Newb Questions

    As has been said, it's pretty much whatever the developers want or whatever we badger them into doing. There have been a couple long threads about suggestions for non-gaming-related software to port to the Pandora. Applications of some sort for most basic computer tasks (browsing, email, chat...

    Wow, Didn't Realize How Far Pandora Has Come Along!

    Don't expect it to be anywhere near even playable. If there ever is a Dreamcast emulator, it will almost certainly be just a PoC. It seems a lot of people who ask about Dreamcast don't realize how recent of a console it is. Though it came out earlier, Dreamcast is part of the XBox, PS2, and...

    Hah! I knew I couldn't be the only person here who thought of that! :P

    There was discussion of a union mount a while back, an idea I really liked. Perhaps there could even be a union mount at /. That way, /home, /bin, /opt, etc could have configuration files and apps and the like, just like a normal linux system. Hopefully all apps, games, etc. will be released in...

    Secret Moderation

    For all my vote is worth, which I'm aware is just slightly less than nothing, Chad does have a point. How much effort would it take to add a "this post was edited by so-and-so" to a message edited by a mod? When you remove parts of a post without saying anything was removed, you can change the...

    Stop The Press, Who's She?

    Heh, that reminds me of Valve developer time, which anyone who has waited for any of their games should be familiar with. There have been two videos released recently though, very close together. Perhaps that is the start of the "flood". Neither of them contained anything I was terribly...

    All Of Wikipedia On Pandora?

    If/when you release updated packages, would it be possible to release diffs/patches as well? I rather doubt there are going to be several GB of changes for every update, so it'd be a waste of bandwidth to download data that's mostly the same each time the package is updated.

    Freespace

    Can you confirm that?. Last time I tried the Freespace Source Code Project port I checked the memory usage and it was around 250 MB... I got that from a quick google of "FS2 open requirements", which turned up this page, with the relevant quote: QUOTE The hardware requirements depend on the...

    Freespace

    These are the games I want ported to the Pandora the most, maybe even more than Quake3. Freespace 2 was one of my favorite games of all time. From what I've read, FS2 Open without any graphical modifications has the same system requirements as the original game (200mhz CPU, 32MB memory), so it...

    How Much Would It Cost To Make A "homebrew" Pandora?

    I'm going to refrain from facepalming, only because there's already been enough of that recently. But this thread is definitely deserving of one, so proceed as though I have posted a facepalm. To answer the question in the title of the thread, too much. I thought most left-handed people just...

    What Can We Expect?

    I have to echo Esn's remark that it "depends what you put on it." If you're talking specifics, however, right now it's nearly all speculation. We know a couple of the major applications that will certainly be on the Pandora (PSX emulator, for example) and a few that are almost 100% certain...

    Wanted To Introduce Myself

    AFAIK, there won't be any other connection for the TV. As for external controllers, any USB controller with linux drivers will probably work, or bluetooth ones for that matter. As for the look, one difference that has recently been confirmed is that the analog nubs will be moved down slightly...

    Your Conditions For Getting A Pandora

    July Videos And News

    That certainly seems to be good news. When it was first posted that the original nub was not going to be produced, I thought it was said that a custom nub would take an extra 5 or 6 months. If the nub is the reason perorders have been pushed back to August, it's really only a very minor...

    They do have a table of bandwidth requirements. Mind you, these are the upstream bandwidth requirements for the computer actually running the game (and, presumably, also the downstream requirements for the client computer playing the game). According to my estimate, assuming their estimates are...
