At the moment I've got both a Pandora (batch one) and Pier Solar pre-ordered and pre-paid :) having either arrive would be a welcome surprise! I was amazed to get the address confirmation check email from the Pier Solar team, I'd just about given up on ever seeing it (much like a certain...

It's getting harder to maintain a positive tone when production has all but stalled. While we do sort of know the reasons (mainly from ED - thanks ED!), but the harsh truth is that Pandora units are not shipping and people are losing interest. This is very bad news. I'll be hanging on as the...

This is where having 020 support so we could run WHDLoad installs would be golden! :)

Off shoring programming tasks isn't as straight forward in practice as some folk assume. You end up having to front load your project by producing extremely detailed, specific and unambiguous functional specifications as well as intensely manage your off shore guys. The developers you get...

"just stumbled across Angband"! you mean you'd not already heard of it! May your trousers be infested by AMHDs ! ;) Angband is awesome and has been around for ages, it's well worth checking out, it's also damn portable too.

Lots of good ones mentioned already :) To add to that list: VectorMan 1&2 - amazing graphics and gameplay - a bit hard though! Herzog Zwei - ground breaking "RTS" type game. Dungeons and dragons Eternal Sun - Well I liked it! :) Desert (and perhaps Urban & Jungle) Strike - (may be better...

Is the original SNES version of "A Link to the Past" better than the GBA re-release (I've not played either)? I guess that sort of question is going to come up a lot given the multi platform emulation capability of the Pandora. :) We have PSX vs GBA vs Megadrive vs SNES vs Amiga vs AtariST vs...

In all honesty build times are such a small proportion of my dev time that I don't really mind too much how long they take. There's always something else to do :) The ability to test builds on the actual target device is also something I'm looknig forward to. I'm doing SDL/OGLES builds in...

Seriously, thanks for this. The approach is exactly how I wanted to do my Pandora developing. I’m really looking forward to getting my Pandora. I figure if I was able to put up with SAS/C compile times on my Amiga “back in the day” then the Pandora will be fine  I’ve not used VIM before so...

This is true. It's not remotely beginner friendly (at all). But learning DF is an investment (as well as a bit of a marathon) that delivers great rewards if you can stick with it. Check out CaptDuck's video tutorials on YouTube they are probably the best introduction. But there's just no...

I'm planning on attempting porting PUAE if no one else has done it by the time I get my Pandora (about 1300 in the list). Running a portable Amiga (ideally with native RTG graphics drivers) is one of my "wishlist" items for my Pandora :) Regarding WHDLoad - it's totally worth registering. A lot...

DF is amazing. It's the vi of the game world - shocking interface but once you get used to it there's nothing quite like it. Slow or not I'd love to see DF on the Pandora - but it's in Toady's hands (as it should be!).

I see the problem here... some of you are obviously confusing NZ with Wales!

Grrr.. I'm from NZ! :)

I asked something similar in the old thread as I was interested in formats to use to get CDDA working. The info (speculation?) in that thread (which is now old) was that CDDA isn't going to be supported on the Pandora. So there's no point in ripping audio tracks regardless of what format you...

<deleted> MWeston addressed my points!

As Na-Noo eloquently said, it helps pass the time :). It's also interesting getting a glimpse of how the project works and the thinking behind some of the decisions. Don't read the comments as a flame/troll - read them instead as curiosity from an interested purchaser. Also by now we've all...

Thanks for the clarification ED :). Given that OP has the opportunity to remove another potential source of delay by shipping the Texas parts to the UK immediately, it seems strange not to take it - especially given the history to date.

So what's the status of the non-case, non-board items needed to assemble the Pandora (screens, speakers, LCD cables, etc etc)? Have they been shipped from Texas (I think we were told they all were all ready and waiting in Texas) to the UK? If not, when will they be shipped? Given the potential...
