The Warioware games all have very short minigames (~5 seconds usually), and as far as I know are all single-player. Most of the challenge is figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do before the time runs out. Warioware games video I think Bishi bashi is a better model, because each...

This is a repost from the original forums (which are back up right at the moment, but could still be a bit flaky). Original thread. Posts are here and here. LONG POST FOLLOWS: There are several minigame-games around, like Mario Party and WarioWare, but my favourite is Bishi Bashi. You could...

I wasn't suggesting modifying a port to be unique for the Pandora. I just meant port something that would be unique to the Pandora (in the handheld segment). In marketing terms, rather than trying to create a new first-party title for the Pandora, we aim for an exclusive title instead; something...

I'm pretty sure someone will (eventually) port one of the Java runtimes, but I haven't heard of any plans yet. I hope someone will, anyway, as it would make it somewhere between trivial and automatic to port across a large library of existing software.

GGPO would be awesome (automatic internet multiplayer for supported ROMs), but is Windows-only at present. (It runs under Wine, but that doesn't help us much.) The developer might be willing to consider doing a port, but somehow I doubt it.

I have a friend who happily runs Blender on his original EeePC, which has a screen resolution of... 800x480. (Models on the EeePC, renders on his desktop.) So yeah, as long as the software can be made to run well (and you have good eyesight), Blender should be usable on the Pandora. In fact, I'd...

Ctrl and Alt are mapped to L & R shoulder buttons. They were labelled on the original diagram but not on the last revision... I guess I have to make another image <_< Actually that's the purpose of the AltGr key; Fn Lock just lets you type multiple symbols without pressing Fn each time...

It's pretty normal for thumb keyboards. All the devices I've had worked that way. Press Fn twice for Fn lock, Shift twice (or Fn Shift) for Caps lock. Press once more to unlock.

We're back on this, huh? :) Actually, this was my last layout: (number and top row Fn swapped) I now think not using Shift for anything Shift isn't normally used for is a good idea, so I'm starting to prefer this. The numkey punctuation symbols aren't the most frequently used, so I guess the...

A couple of points: 1.) 8 weeks is nowhere near enough time to produce a launch title that would be worthy of the name. I think the best approach is to focus on a port of a really good open source game that's never been seen on a handheld before. (Sauerbraten is probably a good candidate, if it...

I don't know what they'll do, but I would expect them to use a power supply similar to the PSP: A universal-input (110~240V, 50~60Hz) brick with a small cable to the Pandora, and a removable IEC (probably C7) power cable to plug into the wall. That way, even if they only supply a UK cable...

Am I really the only one who's getting a 500: Internal Server Error right at the end of payment processing on gbax.com? (Australian order, Firefox, Amex) Perhaps the "declined" page on gbax is not working? Or maybe there's something funny going on with my browser session... I'll switch to a...

It's way beyond my level, but it may be theoretically possible to communicate with a DS. This guy wrote a modified network card driver and windows app to wirelessly send demos to a DS. Here's a page with some nifi protocol information. It sounds like an awful lot of work for a pretty basic...

OK, here goes. I was planning on doing an XBox Chatpad clone, but a quick search indicated that the Chatpad is region specific, so even with two modifier keys it only targeted part of its market. I think the current plan of using a Compose key plus unlabeled AltGr functions offers greater...
