That's what I meant by marketing too. Maybe one could even go as far and say its fanboy-ism. Throwing around benchmark values is of no need anymore. mitosis said exactly what I was trying to say earlier. It's not your bad. But something generic like "Gaming Computer" would have been enough...

His post pretty much sums up what I said without asking the final question: Why is the marketing factor important anymore - Why on earth do we still depend on numeric values if we have videos of sample applications running, real world examples of useful software. I do have an i7 myself. Yet it...

Did you notice the "better at graphics" part before the list? It would have made a slight bit of sense if he said something like: ATI### or GTX### ... Gaming Computer. But throwing the CPU in the discussion was useless. This lets me conclude that the list is just "made up" - making it useless...

:unsure: Seriously... is this really necessary? Good software makes a good system. Who cares about hardware? Even if the Pandora is "better" than a PS2 [hardware wise], you won't find the quality titles from EA, THQ, ... etc on the Pandora (not now, probably never ;) ). And Kangal...

So... whats the use of this? I skimmed over the code but I couldn't see much useful stuff in there. There are libraries to handle midi files etc. and unless there is something like a tracker GUI I don't see much sense in this. And if you have a GUI you wouldn't want to limit yourself to midi. I...

hobbyman II: wtf? how is that related to nerachs post? But what I said was related to mplayer and other options like kaffeine (which I use as it has the best gui for TV imo) already.

no, darkbasic or dark sdk (is thats how they call it?) could have been possible if it wasn't for playstation. 3DGM doesn't allow you to have diagonals - its all cubes. Also you can't have menus complex as this (at-least mine can't - Yes, I admit that I own a copy. I bought it when it came out...

I have a terratech piranha, a msi movievox (which is a capture card, similar requirements), a medion tv receiver (dads) and a good amount of webcams (also similar requirements if I consider the HD cams) and it doesn't work too good on my old P4 2.8GHz. Sometimes the framerate seems to drop -...

I played oot at a friends place when I was younger and loved it. However, I recently completed SM64 and now starting playing oot again. Both games have some similarities but SM64 is by far better as its unique and has good gameplay (sometimes you jump of a box without wanting it - but its ok)...

And why is it in the pandora section? - Can't decide the which is the worse game, but zelda: oot seems very stupid storywise to me and the gameplay is horrible at times. I'm playing through it atm and had to burst out laughing when the domina-fairy appeared to teach me new "sword-tricks" which...

I actually meant the small stars or possibly planets in the distance which are single, colored pixels.

Hahaha that was sweet! Ymmd so far :P

I didn't read all replies as this thread is "too high-level" for me. Personally, I think that a programming language shouldn't abstract more than necessary. Adding an exception handler etc. like this makes it hard to understand the generated machine code (as it could be implemented in tons of...

Please no CD for anything pandora related, include a small SD card for such things if necessary. I don't even have any optical drives anymore and it would be a pain in the ass to get access to a computer to actually get the files of the disk ;). An SD Card could just be put in the pandora and...

Mithril: you didn't notice that this thread was full of sarcasm and irony? real facts and problems and you just come along and try to break this highly technical discussion by commenting on another persons serious complaint about exo? I think we should rephrase the question to get back to the...

I'm not saying pixelart is bad, actually I do ascii art at times myself and I also did iso-pixel art before. However, I think one should stick to one single artstyle. And if he decides to modernize this he should consider putting in one style too. He might be thinking different about it, but...

Well I didn't know the original game yet, but I'd say that the stars are somewhat more subtle. While yours are 1 pixel in size most of the time and a very red color, the original seemed to have grays and dark colors and there were far fewer stars on the screen as the systems didn't allow too...

meh I'm not into space games so I'll just judge on the looks: >> IMO << (and I'm not into most of that retro stuff neither..) you should have done voxel graphics or just ran a shader which pixelizes the image. The current one looks.. too thrown together imo. Besides that I'd like to see some...

Physics engines - imo - are cancer for todays video-games. They are usually very hardware demanding and run out of sync in network, give slightly different results everytime on the host etc. (unless the timestep is fixed, but even then you run into problems with precission and a bit of chaos) I...

It would remove any competition for apple and most other companies with embedded devices would be doomed.
