Production is in the US, and i'm betting, most of the parts are also from US company's. So, the end product there price point is based on this US price set.

A price increase of that magnitude is definitely not a good idea. One of the points so many DS/PSP fan boys made in the Pandora topics, is the price difference of the Pandora vs the DS/PSP. Ofcourse, we know that the hardware is not sponsored with high prices on the software, but most of the...

Been thinking about something. Xbox vs Pandora Bandwidth can be less of a issue thanks to the GPU's compression. The Xbox is a by todays standards, very old feature set design, where as the GPU is compared to the capability of dx10 feature set. If the textures are re-compressed to the native...

All depends on the configuration. This is from a old anandtech article: QUOTE The Xbox features a 64MB memory subsystem made up of four 4x32Mb DDR SDRAM chips. Our unit featured Samsung chips but as time goes on Microsoft may choose to explore other DRAM manufacturers for memory. The memory...

TI's OMAP353x Community Forum ( Never noticed it before. Dumb luck using google ;) ): https://community.ti.com/forums/32.aspx Some links from in the threads:

Seeing as how the nature of the ARM works, and other parts work, its going to be very "odd", if the system does not contain different banks / area blocks, that can power up or down when needed. Aka, 128MB = 8MB * 16blocks. You are using 17MB, so 3 blocks ( 24MB ) are powered up. Of course, its...

Heuu, no... The 256MB of ram means, that games who's memory limitations was a problem, can be played. It also means, that there is less work needed ( downscaling textures etc ) to shrink/optimize those games. The default bandwidth, latency, etc are normally unchanged. Unless TI changed...

It's not exactly like we need things like soft-shadows on the Pandora. Screen is to small to notice something like that. ;)

You can also look at this the other way around. Assume you lose 20min because of the add memory's extra power usage for programs that fit in the 128MB memory. But, those programs that don't fit in the 128MB memory ( ubuntu with lots open or heavy programs ), gain because it prevents swamping...

Lol, Here i was, wondering if the Wiki page needed updating. Looks like somebody already beat me to it :) # 256MB DDR-333 SDRAM # 512MB NAND FLASH memory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console)

Lol, HDMI out is also on a few people there wish list, but unlike the 256MB upgrade what was possible, the HDMI = a no go. The OMAP3530 has only 2 outputs, the one used on the beagleboard for the Digital out, is used in the Pandora for the LCD. And then you got the component, or composite or...

It does enable the Pandora to do a few other things. Most of the original planning for the Pandora was based on 128MB memory. So, there was little to no multi application capability. Memory restrictions prevented for instant running PSX emulation with other ( idle ) applications. To put things...

It will pay itself back on a later date. PR: Pandora running Ubuntu. PR: Pandora has 4 * the memory the PSP Slim has ( 8* the memory of the old PSP ) PR: Now comes included with 512MB Flash instead of 256MB I'm betting that the decision was not taken lightly... It does make the Pandora Future...

Just mail them directly if you fear that any contact mail won't arrive. And give your address, name etc so they can verify it with there own order list.

Is that not a bit contradictory? If lots of data is moving from the DVD to the CPU all the time, its expected to work even better on the Pandora then the PS2. Seeing as the Pandora has almost instant file access, and a consistent data transfer rate ( based on the SD card used ). The main...

Is running freespace not going to be a problem control wise? I'm one of those old generation guys ( wing commander, privateer, x-wing, etc ) and i always preferred a real joystick for the control. So, is that not going to be a problem on the Pandora? Hmmm, time to look up the Privateer ( vega...

The software rotation is probably to blame. If i remember correctly, now its upscaling, and rotating ( unnecessarily ) the image. I need to admit, i never expected the second movie to be so much slower. If the upscaling, and rotating is taking a huge chunk off the cpu, that might explain it...

Your not the only one. Almost hoped that they where able to redirect the internal video to the breakout board.

What have you done. What have you done! *lol* Never eared of the game. Looked it up on youtube. O yea. Time to put that one on the list. :) Conker's Bad Fur Day - The Great Mighty Poo

Yea, that will depend more on the amount of memory the base os uses. In theory, you can keep x & the shell active, and let the os offload the shell, etc to the swap file. Linux is rather good on that part ( unlike windows ). One of the reasons i like to get a faster SD card then just a class 6...
