    Qt To Be Made Avaliable Under Lgpl

    Will there be an engine for ES 1.1 as well?

    Sprig Vs Sdl_gfx....... Wow.

    I strongly suspect that it's more due to efficient algorithms for the primitives than he's using than hardware acceleration. Much of the SDL based stuff, unless you're talking an OpenGL powered piece, tends to be all software based... ;) QUOTE Either way, it's an interesting find that I...

    Why Should I Buy A Pandora?

    Much more like the iPhone than the PSP...

    Quake 3

    It's already been, for all intents and purposes, ported... It's just that there's some hardware accel rendering work needing to be re-done for OpenGL ES once we get drivers, etc...

    Game Format (physical Format) Of (ahahahah!) Commercial Games?

    DS boxes with a mod to the molding that accomodates an SD card instead of the DS card would probably be the format. That one makes the most sense and requires only minimal rethink on the part of retail stores.

    May The Power Be With You

    For those situations, you're not going to be popping a battery out. You're going to be carting around an small, lightweight USB powering battery brick- about like everyone else sane does when they've got mobile devices. The replacement is to replace the battery over time. Consider that...

    Pandora Graphics

    You don't realize something here. The X-Box had to load up XP Embedded (and still does) in that 64Mb RAM profile and still be able to do things. We're going to have about the same or slightly less in-RAM footprint with more capabilities. ;) I give a rough analogy of about a GC or an X-Box in...

    Sdxc Support?

    Indeed he probably does. Of course, he might be like me and have a handful of ISOs of the latest Ubuntu, Debian, Knoppix, Sys Rescue CD, etc. on that list of tools. It's what's in my "toolbox" HD, which is about 80-ish Gb of stuff right at the moment.

    Sdxc Support?

    Heh... I think we're going to see that be a while yet to come. Not a lot of gear that could actually process that kind of data throughput in a handheld device, let alone a desktop, that's not insanely, over the top, expensive. Perhaps a year or so at least. :D

    The Pandora Port Request Thread

    Heh... Even World of Padman would be pretty cool on the Pandora. ;)

    Pandora Good X86 Equivelant For Testing Pandora Apps

    Brave soul there... ;) QUOTE I'm presently working on an SDL game for Pandora, and things are going really well. It runs great on my dual core AMD with GeForce 8800, and fairly well on an older Sempron 2500 with an ATI 9600 If your'e not using 3D, the ATI 9600 won't play into it. If...

    Sdxc Support?

    Pr0n does nothing for me, so I wouldn't know. Heh... I could manage that with current flash drives for most companies out there right at the moment. ;)

    How Many People Know How To Use Opengl Es?

    If you work in the telecom space or the land mobile radio space, you actually do end up with stuff in that class- regularly... Right now we're playing with 12-core Cavium boards with similar class of CPUs for the application processor. You can't do deep packet inspection or traffic monitoring...

    How Long Can The Specs Stay Competitive?

    I believe I DID mention the "because I can" aspect. The only thing is that you shouldn't NEED it and it's there if you want it. I could see us possibly getting away with it on the current settings, but it'd be one of the main ones I'd say, "Yeah, kick it up to the fastest we can go" that we'd...

    Sdxc Support?

    Heh... I can envision many people getting some pretty hi-definition pr0n at that point... ;) On a more serious note, though, the only things I can envision needing that much filesize right at the moment is for things like DVD5/9 ISOs, rips of DVDs to XiviD or h.264, that sort of thing...

    How Long Can The Specs Stay Competitive?

    Depends on what you're trying. If you're gunning for things like OpenGL, etc. you can forget being able to do them on any of the hardware you jailbreak. There's other things. In the end, if you're going to homebrew for homebrew's sake (instead of doing the gamedev equivalent of climbing Mt...

    If Given The Choice, Would You Want Pandora With Beta Or Release Os?

    Heh... Much better shape than the GP2X firmware currently is, actually. ED's demos show what we've got right now. We're doing fit and finish things on the launcher, a few drivers (incl. very probably the 3D support...), and things of that sort right now. Got it in one. You could fully use it...

    If Given The Choice, Would You Want Pandora With Beta Or Release Os?

    Heh... You'll get some of that even if the OS was armor-plated, rock solid. It's a hell of a lot better than other players, from what I understand (From reliable sources, mind...) but we can do even better than that and we're working towards it. QUOTE From what I can see from the videos, the...

    Sdxc Support?

    I don't know about the store being usable in the slots, but alternative filesystems like UFS or ext2/3 are going to be available. UFS should work on most desktop/laptop computer OSes and should be available on the Pandora as an option. exFAT's not going to be likely unless it's a rational and...
