    What vidya gaems are you planning on playing/emulating?

    Well, one of the things I'll be doing is investigating mods for Quake 2 and 3... there's been a decade or so of modding them since their respective releases, so there's bound to be some very fun ones indeed. Then I might well re-play the Broken Sword series, since this will be a system that can...

    In the news

    Re: Public coverage and news. Well... it will be, once they've shipped them :).

    Dev Fund Question

    I've no idea whether or not that's still the case. There was a comment the other day on the GP32x boards (last they were up) along the lines of "those who donate will be listed as donators on the dev-fund site", but not about other perks. Personally, I'm not too fussed about getting private...

    Linux vs. Native Code (Bare Metal)

    Most should run with Linux, I hope. Whether they'll all run leaving k-drive in memory, I don't know. The idea is that if you're writing a program that is fairly demanding (e.g. N64 emulator) you kill k-drive but leave Linux alone. That way you keep all the drivers and libraries that Linux...

    Open Office? Azerty?

    I'm hoping for an OpenOffice port fairly quickly myself. Though I doubt it'll show up at the time of release. It's one of those programs that'll probably take some while to surface, both because intuitively it will be more complex than a recompile (it may not be, but I wouldn't be so sure), and...

    The Keyboard

    Not sure whether this will have been mentioned in the other thread, but it is well worth remembering that the keyboard only has a 2-character buffer. If you press more than 2 keys, then basically it doesn't recognize what's going on. That's one of the main reasons for wanting modifier keys...

    So I have been ghosting for over a year now...

    The other thing to do would be to nip onto the IRC channel and ask anyone there to make you a user for GP32x; they verify it, set the password as chosen by you, and then you just log in, change email, etc. etc. Yes, it's complicated, but it'd probably work :). Or, of course, just email Hando...

    Delete all previous threads from old forums

    Well, the other forums are due a cleanup, it's true. But wiping them clean would lose an awful lot of stuff that really shouldn't be lost. As I understand it, the plan is to create the essential subforums to coincide with Pandora's release (i.e. when it ships). That is to say, - News would...

    Additiona Fees (help)

    Well... unless your address is in a state which has an electronic goods tax of some sort. I think California is the only one to do that, though, based on comments earlier this week (i.e. that's only the case if those comments are correct). One thing is certain, though: it will be much less...

    Congratulations To Craig And The Crew

    Nah, we're all consumers at this point, and certainly customers. We aren't Shareholders, we just have an interest in the company (but not in the form of shares). That said, that isn't really the point of this thread, is it? It's to say congrats on getting to this stage. Now we await with...

    Seems Like The First 3000 Are Already Gone...

    As stated, they aren't sold out; the pre-order notification was there from the first time I got to the order page (i.e. about 4 minutes after announcement). Topic locked to prevent forum-wide panic and even more F5-ing.

    I Just Got My Pandora!

    Merged with Kyosys' thread about Pre-orders starting, given that Craigix now has an official one with how to do so.

    How To Order

    Ordered, complete with a dev-fund donation (and tv-cable - guess that ended up not being included), and now getting ready for a swarm of threads that need to be merged.

    I Just Got My Pandora!

    Ordered. Complete with the dev-fund donation. Though I'm *very* surprised this thread hasn't grown to be as long as my arm in the mean time (about half an hour of waiting on servers - I don't remember the last time I got to see a server quite so bruised). Maybe everyone else is still trying...

    Phone Calls From The Pandora?

    Java: Not in the US anyway... In the UK, they're becoming slowly on par with landline-based broadband, albeit not quite so fast. The only thing is you have to make really sure you read the fine print and be certain that unlimited really is unlimited, which much of the time it isn't.

    Get Ready For An Explosion Of Publicity...

    Dugg... though I do hope this doesn't jeopardize those of us who've been waiting for ages to be able to preorder's ability to do so. We can but hope :). And hit F5. A lot. Around 2pm tomorrow :).

    Where To Preorder Besides Gbax.com?

    Well, there kinda was and there kinda wasn't - the PayPal thread is about persuading Craig to implement Paypal in such a way that Paypal don't block is account for 6 months when he gets 600+payments through them in quick succession. This thread, fueled by the same concerns, is about where else...

    So What Do You Expect It To Do?

    Expecting on arrival? - A lot of emulators. Most of which I imagine will be in a slightly rough state feature-wise, and may or may not be optimized for OMAP3430. - A functional launcher. - A music player (but probably not the 100 hours one) Hoping for? - Web-browsing (we haven't heard anything...

    Where To Preorder Besides Gbax.com?

    The preorder starts when the first mails have been sent out. Craig (and pretty much everyone else) fully expect that within the first 10 or so arriving, someone will have posted the full text on here. This is estimated to be circa 2pm UK-time. One place which looks like it does support PayPal...

    Less Then A Week Until Preorders And No Finished Pandora

    I must say I was tempted earlier. Didn't, since without this there will likely be even more thread along exactly the same lines within maybe 6 hours... If people could calm down, though, that would be nice.
