Rubbish. Metal Gear was released before Snatcher. Perhaps you mean released before Metal Gear Solid. Worth mentioning that it was the sequel to Secret of Mana to help people who played the earlier game get a rough idea of what to expect.

Anyone who thinks that about Puzzle Bobble doesn't know where the pleasure of video games truly comes from and is probably obsessed with uninspired FPS's with pretty graphics.

I think this sums up the crux of your argument, all the rest around it is just fluff. Basically you're looking for a way for people who aren't comfortable with digital downloads to get into the Pandora, right? I, for one, don't like to think of the complete waste that would go into producing SD...

Been trying out SliTaz Linux these past couple of days (which, to my knowledge, is the smallest Linux distro around with a full GUI and other standard bells and whistles). In it's 'Cooking' form looks very nice too. Boot time is snappy. Worth a try. http://www.slitaz.org/en/

@wesbrown18 and @MDave Any progress with Pandora Matchbox and the new icons for it?

No worries White Flame, I didn't know anything about SD card classes until I started visiting these forums!

Chip, surely it's possible that the speed bottleneck isn't caused by the cards themselves but by the device using the cards (badly designed card reader or something of that nature)?

Have a look on the label of the SD card. IIRC the number in the almost complete circle indicates the class number. EDIT: Got something to prove what I've been saying. First the label thing: The meaning behind the class thing: QUOTE The SD Association has established a new specification...

I thought the whole thing with the different classes was about the minimum speed the manufacturers promised the card would offer. Take a look at this SanDisk card for example: http://tinyurl.com/derv2d Shown as a Class 2 card (by the looks of the label) but offers 15MB/sec Read/Write speeds.

@nikkopt Only two of those games, Heart of Darkness and Populous: The Beginning, are likely to run on the Pandora (through PS1 emulation). All the rest (Grim Fandango, Shogo:MAD, Silver, System Shock 2, Clive Barker's Undying, Machines) are Pentium 1/2/3 era games, and through DOSBox we are only...

RUFUS!!! Amirite? ;)

@all Whilst I'm confident that the schedules discussed so far in this thread are plausible, anyone know what's happening with the final keymats? Would be nice to see the CNC case and final keymats together in a couple of weeks time, just want to know if this is likely.

Angrydd (a.k.a. Angry, Drunken Dwarves) looks a lot like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, so you could play that instead (through CPS2 or PS1 emulation):

iain.dalton I didn't think VMWare supported ARM but your post (and possibly this: http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/ ) seem to indicate otherwise. Any chance of releasing your VMWare image for others to make use of? Would prove useful I'm sure.

'92. Pretty graphics considering its age: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmy4UOZvI0w Magical Sound Shower sounding good (as always!) in that vid too. :)

Games that spring to mind: Wizkid: Super Punch-Out!!: (If the Pandora version of FBA supports CPS3) Street Fighter 3: Third Strike: Oh and never played it before, but really want to play Parasol Stars as well:

Outrunners, surely?!! Agree first one is a total classic, does still look (and sound) good now, brings back good memories.

Both have been helpful and understanding in guiding me through the process of re-ordering the Pandora, this thread should have been made (properly) a while ago IMO. Well done ladies! :)
