Why would you clear out the internal memory? It is only 256MB and you'll fill it rather quickly. You can buy SDs with many gigas for little money. And you can use two SDs: one of them for your alternative OS (which one?), and the other for applications. Keep the NAND for emergency boots :)

Unless you really need an ARM (that is, if you are going to do some assembler coding), you can use a normal Linux system to develop applications. If you use C+SDL, you can use your Windows box since you won't need so many system calls (read/write files at most, and they are the same in Windows...

Im working (two hours now) in OpenOffice with a 12 pages document and only one small image (a logo). Physical memory: 140MB. Virtual Memory: 300MB. Anyway, Abiword is great, it has enough features for any user and I'm sure that it will work perfect on the Pandora :)

No, no, probably no. OpenOffice is as huge as MS-Office and it won't work. AbiWord may work, and has most of the features of MS-Word. Gnumeric may work, and it is similar to MS-Excel. There are lots of texts editors that will work, but Eclipse is just far, far out of the scope. I think that you...

Unfortunately, it isn't. The Gp32 and Gp2x had a demigod called Rlyeh that created a wonderful library after tons of work: minimal lib. Most emulators in the Gp2x use that library that is not compatible with the Wiz. I know that there is at least a developer working on a "Wiz minimal library"...

Just for statistics: laptop (Acer), two cameras (Pentax and Olympus), screen (Sony), Gp2x, PocketPC (HP), several mobile phones (Nokia and Motorola). Noticeable dead pixels only in the screen and Pentax camera, both of them have more that three years old.

My two cents: CODE #!/bin/sh exec "$1" exec replaces the shell with the command. It is slightly faster since it does not fork and you save the memory that the shell uses. Besides, if dosbox follows the normal life cycle for Gp2x, it will 'exec gp2xmenu' at the end. Then, a launching script...

I completely agree with chad78. No technical reviews on the real thing, the same crappy, dizzy videos that we saw months ago (can you tell the difference between this and this?), no sound, no speed limit (it's funny once, it's annoying the tenth time). No OS info, no GUI, no Wifi/bluetooth...

Assuming that your phone company let you use your mobile phone as a modem (it is not an iPhone, for example): Download bandwidth (=speed) is the major limitation to use Bluetooth for internet connection. My current data plan is 3Mbps, and I achieve that amount with a USB cable from the phone to...

The confusion came when Craig did confirm that he had a special distributor in Spain (Gp32x Forums), but Anarchy (HG owner) stated that he had not even started negotiations (GP32Spain forums) So we silly Spaniards thought that Anarchy was not the Spanish distributor :)

Easier: download roms in the Mame repositories, not NeoRagex :) There are two kinds of rom format for NeoGeo games in the Internet: Mame and NeoRagex. If you look for "neogeo roms" in, say, google, you'll find neoragex roms that do not run on gngeo. Look for "mame roms" and/or use the same .zip...

Right. GP32 BLU + a random original game for 50 euros. Virginplay.es They are not always new. It seems that some are used. It is as random as the game that the offer includes :) They all seem to work ok, since there are new users from time to time in gp32spain from the Virgin offer.

Thanks for this original game. It is awesome and funny, nice graphics and simple controls since quickness is vital. I have a F100, but touchscreen support would be perfect for F200 users. One of the must-have for the Gp2x.

Congealed, the right collection of utilities and games is the one that you need. There are hundreds of available applications. What is you style of games? Emulators? Homebrew? Just tell us your likes and we will advice some applications. Do not change your firmware if it works. It is dangerous...

- Good: double CPU speed, maybe 3D, internal clock. - Bad: no network, no USB host, battery (they say a lifetime of 5 hours... the same that their claims for the Gp2x!) - No opinion: double pad. - It needs: minilib!

That explains everything. How could I miss that? So, the Pandora seems unbrickable, thanks to show me my error :)

I found that line in several threads in the last few days. Why is the Pandora "unbrickable"? As far as I know, it is as brickable as any other personal device, and special care must be taken to protect the core of the operating system (unprivileged accounts and so) I'd like to be wrong, but I...

I absolutely agree with Squidge and I hope that the Pandora will run from a unprivileged account as default. I just doubt that we will see that at launch :)

- Historical reasons: the Gp2x runs its apps as root, and the Pandora heirs every (if not all) of its current apps from the Gp2x. - Timing reasons: it is the easiest thing. They have "more" important problems to solve (sound, 3D, wifi, gui) in only a month! - Usability reasons: in case...

QUOTE 1)Yes, but only if his name is Cyrus 2)Cyrus is already anti-social Linux has a strong security model that makes really difficult for a virus to make damage. Unfortunately, this security system is deactivated in the Gp2x and it is very likely that it will be deactivated in the Pandora...
