Sadly no. That's a shame, I'm a huge fan too. Carmageddon is very slow on my Pentium 1 though, unless I minimise everything but then there is no texture, the viewdistance is of no more than 10 yards and the cars look like they escaped from Tetris (Hey, here is the barre from tetris ! Oh no...

Hmmm now that I've given some thought, I think the game I'll play the most on the Pandora will be Idle. Seriously, an handled game console on which you can code, isn't that awesome ? Am I the only one that ever dreamt of coding in the subway or while waiting for the bus ?

I, of course, meant MIPS. It was a lapsus. Btw, I may have lacked explicitness, but by "ARM9" I was refering to the arm9 into the GP32, I didn't even know the GP2X had an ARM9.

Mario is fucking hardcore indeed. I may have played Mario 64 a lot, I never had the 120 stars. And that's from someone that one-credit Contra 4 in normal mode.

How is clock speed relevant ? When I say that the N64 CPU offer about ten time less performance than the Pandora, I speak of the N64 CPU as clocked in the retail N64 and the Pandora CPU as clocked on the pandora. Why in the world would I want to compare them frequency-wise ? Especially across...

Proportionally to GDP, USA is far from being one of the most indebted developed country. France's debt is around 2 trillions for instance, and it's deficit is bigger and worsening, with our president saying that "there is more important issues than the national debt". That doesn't prevent our...

The ARM naming convention is a bit obscure, but you can be sure that the Cortex A8 is way way way more powerful that an ARM9. Just so that you get an idea of what it's like, ARM9 is about the same processor power as the N64. (although the N64 CPU is of the Alpha family, but it's roughly...

Actually US policy regarding the value of the $ is not likely to change at short/medium term, no matter which party will get the presidency. The most plausible scenario to get a weaker £/$ ratio is to look at Germany. It's mainly them that are opposing to a weak euro, because germany's exports...

First, the GP2X and the Pandora are produced by two different companies with absolutely nothing in common, except for the fact that the company making the Pandora used to be the officiel non-korean distributor of the GP32 and is the official non-korean distributor of the GP2X. Although the...

Nice, but they shouldn't spread the idea that the Pandora will cost £100. The target price is more like £200.

Well, there is no strict definition of what abandonware is yet, but my view on that matter is that an abandonware is a software that used to be commercial, of which no support is given anymore, and, if there still is a legal owner, the software was explicitly given to the public domain. Meaning...

It's what I was referring to earlier when I spoke of the mickey mouse act.

Actually, it's 75 years after the creator death if the creator is a physical person, and 75 years after release if not. No matter how the IP is still used. (The mickey mouse character will go public domain in slightly more than 20 years, while still being massivly used by the Disney corps)

That is one of my favourite topic, here is the answer for my country (France) First, Nintendo, and probably other companies, will say than using a rom is illegal whatever the circumstances. They are wrong of course, the decision isn't entirely their. Second, the right to private copy is no...

How is the fact that my laptop is x86 powered relevant ? Dosbox is a full blown emulator, it's not like wine or anything, the fact that the architecture emulated is or is not the same as the host doesn't change anything. Just look at the performance of the mac PPC version.

Hello I was wondering if 128megs would be enough for the Pandora. I mean, sure, it's twice as much as the GP2X, and the GP2X bottleneck was more it's processing power than it's memory, and it would probably be enough to emulate even the dreamcast (in term of ram consumption, I of course realise...

Definitly. Works flawlessly on my crappy linux laptop that doesn't have as much beef as the pandora.

Can we get a bit unrealistic ? We can ? Cool ! I want Age of Decadence ! CPU should be powerful enough, graphic too... So bad it doesn't have enough memory. If I wanted to be slightly more realistic, I'd say any spiderweb games. Worked flawlessly on my 1st EEE with the default OS (xandros)...

Link's awakening (black & white). I know, this may sound strange for a C64/Spectrum/Atari 400 fan, but I badly want to play this one right now. My 2nd would be Elite C64 I suppose. And then, loads of C64 platformers.

So won't I. I think I lost something like 4 joycaps since I got it. The base one, the one from davec, the one offered for free by GPH, and yet another one of the 2 I ordered from craigx's website. But from a pragmatic point of view, the biggest flaw corrected by the new design is the way the...
