Agreed... should probably be in off topic. Moved there :)

Yeah, BBC rocks. It's also almost always one of the systems that doesn't get a look in for a while generally... not sure why...

Whilst I must admit to having had a similar idea, I suspect it wouldnt be a good move, mostly for legal reasons. Whilst there's nothing inherantly wrong with it - for instance, if you're only playing public domain roms, and one happens to be 2 player - it seems like the kind of emulator feature...

I'm expecting to use mine for note-taking in class (ideally, for recording a lecturer and taking time-indexed notes simultaneously, so notes are pegged at particular sentences), for PDA-like tasks in general, and for gaming. For me, whilst gaming is the most important function Pandora will...

Ah, fair enough. Should have realised that on the basis the keys aren't supposed to be circular...

Importantly it puts to rest the argument of "you can just move the keys around"; we've now got solid confirmation that they're using a mat for the keys. Such a mod would still be possible, but it would now be much more involved (you'd actually have to cut out the keys you want to move). Of...

Title changed to something slightly less inflamatory ("must have" eliminated, replaced with ideal). It's always good to avoid seeming grabby. Seeing as the gentle smouldering seems to have died out, let the conversation continue!

To be fair, most of the topics on this are actually on the other board. Topic title changed to make it less ambiguous though...

The impression of 1 month would have come from the prospective ship date when the 30th was announced as a pre-order date suggested at 7th November, with 16th being more likely (or something along those lines). The currently quoted date afaik is 28th November. I've also seen a post by craig to...

Surely there's a slight possibility of issues despite identical CPUs - e.g. if the gaming controls on Pandora behave as a gamepad, but the program in question is designed only with cursor keys in mind, or say, if it forces the resolution to 1024x768 on loading - or simply dynamically links a...

Oh yes. I haven't been playing Quest for Glory II on the GP2x for precisely this reason, let alone the old Space Quest games (which I've still to experience properly - I used to die a lot in Space Quest 2, and I still never got very far). Although I have replayed it recently what with the VGA...

Not that it hits me, but I'll reiterate the sentiments of "aw shit" expressed earlier in this thread. Really bad luck everyone who did order by Paypal. Hope they contact you all and let you pay by some other method, but of course, re-embursement needs to happen first, and God knows how long...

Also, though I could be mistaken, I believe these videos are frame-limited at 60fps. My reasoning? Look back at the original earliest videos of a psx emu running on Pandora hardware. Those are at stock speed, with L2 cache turned off (if I recall the facts correctly, which I'm fairly sure...

Looks awesome... I do hope it makes it to Pandora! On another note, for those after amazingly detailed indie games (and in this case, freeware, too), try Iji. Fantastic gameplay, solid story, and some of the most seamless "your actions matter" material I've seen.

The WiFi chipset in Pandora is unlikely to have such, I suspect. We've been told before that it's bleeding edge technology and NDAd down sufficiently that they can't tell us anything more than - It does WiFi - It does Bluetooth - It uses very little power for something that does the above I'd...

Another thing people are forgetting here? Battery life. The early videos of Psx emulation on Pandora devboards are at 600MHz and are (when not framelimited) running at between 90 and 150fps. This is also before they worked out that the L2 cache wasn't enabled, which does, of course, speed things...

Hmm. In the order that I'll probably try them out... 1) Xenogears It has brilliant mecha combat, a fantastic story, and for the age it looks very very pretty. I've been avoiding re-playing it for four years now, purely so that the next time I do will be on a handheld. 2) Chrono Cross Didn't...

I believe the current estimate is that the expected result might not be dissimilar to the early builds of Psx4GP2x in ability. That is to say, not quite a slideshow, really really impressive, but unlikely ever to yield a result that's good enough to call playable without a LOT of work, and quite...

How exactly would that work? You'd perpetually be completing the circuit. That sebt3 is suggesting is just moving the keys around, which works on two assumptions - firstly, that they're separate keys rather than a membrane, and seconly, that they're all basically the same shape. If those two...

As I understand it, the MK0 board was the very first set sent to developers. Then the MK1 board was based on some revisions that the early developers had to the MK0 one - this still got sent out to some of the developers who got theirs a bit later. I would guess these arrived at about the same...
