The Pandora is pretty much gonna be my new PC, so I plan to use it a lot. I don't mind the cut down keyboard too much as I my typing to thinking ratio is quite low. I am a little concerned about screen size so thinking of getting a head mounted display (recommendations appreciated).

+1, Insightful It depends on your needs and your hardware's capability. You have stated your needs, you want to prepare yourself for the Pandora. Since that is the case it would seem sensible to use the Pandora's specs as a target (128MB RAM). Xunbuntu is a very good choice IMO, it's pretty...

For me the threshold is when it can play Daggerfall. It's good to see that we are getting into that kinda ballpark.

I actually did a little of something similar on the GP2X, and I plan to on the Pandora as well. For fun (and probably 'cos I'm mental) I wrote a cross-assembler, a simple boot loader, the beginnings of a native Forth and a serial driver so I could talk to it. It was great fun, and I learned a...

TYVM for this, Chaos is one of my all time fave games. This is the game that spawned Laser Squad (aka Moonbase Assault) that in turn spawned the X-Com series. If this is disassembled then I'm assuming it still contains the turmoil bug? There's a very nice freeware version for the Atari ST that...

I'll add my voice to those recommending one of the Ubuntu variants, personally I like Kubuntu as I like KDE, but... You haven't said why you are considering Linux, or what kind of Linux you want. If you want a Windows desktop replacement for technical or ideological reasons then Ubuntu is a...

You could probably spend days trawling happypenguin and find loads of suitable candidates. Here's a few I like and haven't been mentioned yet... Warzone 2100, originally closed source but has been open for a while. UFOAI S.C.O.U.R.G.E. And one that's closed source but is free and so good...

As a Scot I'm kind of annoyed at often being thrown into the same bag as the rest of Britain. I feel that the Scots have at least as much in common with the Scandinavians and the low countries as they do with England. I know politics are frowned upon here, but Ganepark32's remarks in relation...

Out of the 3 I've written assembly on (x86, ARM, 6502) I much prefer ARM. IMHO... The dominance of the x86 hasn't done any good for the development of personal computing, it's got a kinda strange architecture and grew from the CISC philosophy while many believe RISC is better for PCs (yes I...

I just tested in Konq under Linux and thought I had the same problem. It turns out that I have to click the text link on the left, then click one of the little plusses at the bottom before I see anything. I just had a quick peek at the page source so I'm not sure if this is the intended...

I've played the Amiga version of UFO on the GP2X, very slowly and with disk swapping. That was a long time ago and I know Amiga emulation has improved since then. It is possible and may even be playable now. DosBox may be a better option, I know UFO would run on a 486 with 8MB of RAM, so if...

DON'T PANIC! I assume you have a card reader for this... Create a gmenu2x folder in the root of the SD card and move all the gmenu2x files there (except autorun.gpu). The problem you are having is that the autorun is working fine but the file it's trying to run is not where it expects to find...

In the root of your SD card there should be a folder called gmenu2x, and a file called autorun.gpu. My guess is you have the folder and not the file. The contents of my autorun.gpu are: CODE #!/bin/sh cd /mnt/sd/gmenu2x exec ./gmenu2x Remember that files and paths in Linux are case sensitive...

I was really enjoying the flaming, and now you call a cease fire? What am I going to do for entertainment now? Watch Eastenders? (ugh) Seriously though... These forums have an unusual dynamic about them that sometimes leads to threads descending into flames and name-calling, more than is normal...

I have. The 'game' directory that GPH's braindead new menu app adds seems to cause the copy protection to freak out. I added an autorun.gpu to my payback card to bypass the menu app and therefore the creation of this directory and it works fine. I suppose you could edit the .gpe to remove the...

TBH I'll leave it until I see a thread saying it's safe, mostly I just use my GP2X for obscure coding on the bare metal so all I need to do is: copy gpu to GP2X, connect with serial cable, run it, power cycle, repeat. Even this is made harder by the new firmware as it's now easier to physically...

My F200 arrived this morning. I had an F100 since it was released (just about) but it recently died after lots of heavy use. The firmware on the F200 is terrible. The auto-creation of directories on the SD card is a really stupid idea, amongst other things it made payback stop working until I...

I seem to remember reading that the serial number of the MK1 can be changed with software, but I'll leave it up to a guru to confirm or deny this.

At the command line the which command is what you need. CODE which mycommand
