    Notaz and his Pandora!!

    That's quite notable ghosting, and I agree, it's horrible on the PSP. Common monitors compensate for this with some overdrive; it should be possible to implement with the graphics processor, exagerrating changes frame to frame. That type wouldn't be fully effective on top or bottom intensities...

    Couple Questions About Sd-Memory

    I wish that was the guarantee. The actual guarantee is that it can sustain that write speed if written in a very specific, somewhat card-defined pattern. You'll usually get it doing linear writes. The exact details are intentionally removed from the public specs, so you can NOT confirm if a card...

    Controllers For The Pandora

    I would think the sixaxis a slightly better match in controller layout. It's Bluetooth so no need for a separate receiver, although it does need some special handling to get connected. Currently trying to figure out what it takes to make it work with bluez, as the sixpair is in git but I see no...

    Just Curious

    For one thing, not all old games are 4:3 - in fact, lots of them have portrait monitors, in particular vertical scrollers (but also others, like burger time and frogger). Yet others are simply square. The main reason the Pandora screen is such an unusual format is availability. The nubs were...

    Ot: Does The Dsi Or Psp Go Have A Place ?

    I guess I'm not precisely the person you target with your question, seeing as I'm not exclusively a retro gamer. However, a quick look at what I have for my DS and PSP might be telling. DS: Advance wars dual strike, Final Fantasy I, II and III, Powder (free homebrew). AWDS is an original DS...

    Headphone Jack Pinout

    I haven't confirmed what it's like, but I'd expect the connections Nokia used. It looks like Apple have decided to be contrary and you'll need something like this adapter. Edit: I'm not really certain that adapter does swap the connections, but it does have the mic ring.

    Sdhc - How Fast Is Fast Enough?

    Very well. Pardon me for being a part of the public to whom this marketing brand is targeted, who have no access to that specification. Looking at the public spec, on the other hand, maybe another metric to compare these cards by is Allocation Unit size. The precise requirements for the speed...

    Sdhc - How Fast Is Fast Enough?

    There are several. The first that comes to bind is bonnie, but dbench and iozone (non-free but source available and has been built for arm) should also be capable. In a pinch, even dd can test sequential access, and it's not hard to write a testing program. The questions are 1) if they'll be...

    Pandora As A Bluetooth Peripheral

    So essentially you're asking for games to update your .plan?

    Sdhc - How Fast Is Fast Enough?

    Thanks. That configuration didn't do well at all on small, randomly distributed writes. And the review says we can see it living up to Class 10 (which only covers sustained write speed) near a screenshot showing read speed. The IOMeter graphs above it say it does not, the Crystal disk mark says...

    Appstore Security

    Not unreasonable, but it could be an option (as it is on PSN). The detail I hate with their system, though, is that there's no such option for card charging. So there's no confirmation for them taking your money, only for you using it.

    Sdhc - How Fast Is Fast Enough?

    AFAICT there's a lot of discussion of possible bitrates and not much else. The SDHC spec classes are rated in MB/s minimum write, yet some manufacturers used classes that weren't yet specified (class 10?) and many use markings that vary in meaning between manufacturers. The Pandora itself, by...

    Excellent Keyboard For Pandorians

    That will probably be no problem - it has a built in USB hub, and Apple wouldn't sell you a hub that can't handle high speed nowadays. The product page explicitly mentions high-speed support.

    Pandora Serial Port Cable

    You're aware Linux started out as a terminal program? The simplest you could go is just to connect to the serial port, but there are more advanced ones like screen, minicom and mickeyterm already in Ångström. Modbus appears not to be packaged, though.

    The Touchscreen And The Hinge

    Wouldn't that open it up for confusion with the Syntax Error club?

    Release It's Here!

    Sorry, that's just not enough. Most of the peripheral state will be in registers in the peripherals themselves, which will be reset as they lose power during suspend. Some of those registers can't even be read back, which means the driver must reestablish their values on resume. For some...

    Use A Vga Monitor With Pandora Over A Network

    Quite a bit of confusion in here. Apparently Synergy does exactly the same job as x2x - transfer keyboard and mouse events from one machine to another. It's useful if you have two computers with monitors next to each other and want to control both with one keyboard. It relies on the X Window...

    Silk Screen Poll

    I'll let the serial number of my Nintendo DS illustrate what I think of that idea. The back of the device will be worn down, quickly. If you want to hide the mark away, put it inside the battery compartment; it won't survive on the outside.

    Pandora Comparison

    The second CPU of the Nintendo DS is an ARM7, not ARM9.
