No kidding. QUOTE Second, it would increase the costs of those devices significantly. Who here would like to pay $530 for a Pandora because it comes bundled with Windows? Because then people would foolishly think that they will be able to run things like WoW natively on a gaming handheld...

It seemed to be...

Heh... We've pretty much hit the theoretical space with this one at this point- and the Pandora's not even out yet. :D Here's to hoping to see them grab a 50% or more gain in performance with it in the near future.

One would think that, but there's a threshold that each multiple won't buy you that multiple's worth of speed. There's memory concerns, etc. and a 2X clock increase doesn't lead to anything more than a 1.75 times increase in many cases. This would be another reason I think all this talk of...

All things being equal, the power drain from an 8 versus a 16 should be close to identical from parts from the same vendor. They draw next to no power when not being accessed, so that's no big deal. However, if you have 2 8's in there and use them simultaneously, you'll end up with double the...

OLEDs of the size we're talking about aren't cheap at this time. They're nice and they blow the doors off of an LCD display, yes, but the pricepoint would have been even more painful for everyone had they chose to use one on the current Pandora. As for a conversion, you'd need to know how to...

And there's QUITE a few people hoping you get there with it, myself included. :D QUOTE @Chip: Shipping from US takes a long, long time .. and most likely will get stuck on customs for a few weeks. Heh... The first dev board I got was initially rejected by US customs (It had a battery and...

That's a MTBF... ;) You shouldn't be using that as a piece of gospel on lifespan. Moreover, it still leads to that you shouldn't NEED OCing this thing for most stuff. And God Ginrai, it doesn't lead to that you will need OC on the Pandora to do N64 emu- you don't know precisely what you...

In the case of your GP2X, it's a differing class of ARM. Overclocking the Cortex-A8 will cause a bit of electromigration and an increase in heat- much more than the case you use. It'll shorten the life of the device by quite a bit. And, until you KNOW you need it, why presume you do? Please...

Ack... Didn't catch the gravedig there... And he's suggesting that we encourage them by handing them a unit... It's gravediggin', but it's not really repurposin'. ;)

Heh... PoisonedV, here's a hint: You can't drive a GPU directly at that low a level. ;) They're using DirectX or OpenGL with some very spiffy shaders. Shaders, I might add, that are mostly portable overall from either API... :D

Anything with USB ought to work nicely. The Wiimote is Bluetooth and anything Linux with Bluetooth can actually use it as a controller right now. It just needs to have the implementation happen on the firmware either pre/post-release. QUOTE I really don't see much point in using an Xbox 360...

Heh... Michael's not one to mind that sort of thing. But it's very probably a good thing to ask first. In the case of the remarks I am making, you're getting it from the horse's mouth. I am one of the devs in question... :D I'd hesitate to say that "it's not worth the effort", but it's more...

HLE's emulation was limited in which titles it could run. Moreover, it took the complex high-road and tried to effectively detect what the game was asking of the N64 hardware and re-express the whole thing as something different with the same result. Basically something like a dynrec core but...

Actually, with the next release, you don't even have to pay for it for commercial things. Nokia is LGPLing it.

As gruso pointed out, they're aware of the demand and a couple folks from our community have talked with them directly and with the gent that did the X86 Linux version. They're unsure about whether or not the machine could handle all the physics calculations (there's quite a bit of FP...

Heh... Even if the driver situation's good, the SDL integration situation's not so hot. Official SDL ES support is for 1.1 and it's really kind of tied to iPhone dev right at the moment (I tried to make it work with the SDK simulator and it just won't bring in ES stuff right from out of the...

It can be... Depends on which ES and what you're doing... ;)
