This is a little off topic, but could I use one Pandora to charge another Pandora?

Seems like most flash formats are going to die off in favor of usb flash drives. Only thing holding it back is a standard form factor that can go flush with the surface of devices.

Ahhh.. I searched for sdhc not sd.

I was just checking out SDHC cards online when I noticed how slow the things are. The fastest 32gig card is 4 MB/s while 16 gig cards are usually 6MB/s. Any ideas on how to speed this up? Could we run them in a raid?

For $330 you could get a bunch of really nice controllers. Think about this the controller parts in the Pandora add up to around $25 or so, not counting the touch screen. I'd rather buy a really nice mouse, keyboard, dual-analog game pad, and force-feedback wheel. All those together would...

:huh: :angry: :( :blink: Really?

So is the Pandora going to do this solely based on time?

I'm not worried about it because the people designing the Pandora actually want to use it. To a large degree they are designing it for themselves and they're not going to make a mistake like that.

For every page in this thread the Pandora gets 10% faster and DC emulation gets 10% easier. We're almost there! :rolleyes:

What would you like them to remove to make it lighter?

I dunno I suppose you can use a d-pad like a set of 4 buttons but it's harder to use a set of four buttons as a d-pad. I've been wondering how I'm going to use the pandora if I want to play a game that uses the screen vertically.

I had a crazy dream the other night. My car could talk and it would run errands for me. Seriously though one reason I want the Pandora is because it's not slapped all over the place with corporate logos. Besides everyone is just going to think it's a DS, no really.

It's good to support open/indy games, shows the Pandora :pandora1: isn't just for emulation, and dispels some of the notions about piracy. I'm a little sad openGTA is just reimplementing. Seems like it wouldn't be hard to make your own original content for something like that.

I would think it would be easy to go from tile to z-buffer. A tile is just a small z-buffer area used to conserve memory. You might be able to just ignore the whole tiling thing if you have a fullscreen z-buffer.

The most sensible button layout I've seen for an after market controller was from logitech where the buttons are labeled 1-10 and correspond directly with the button index in windows(yeah I know Pandora is linux). I'd vote for the buttons to be labeled 1 through 4 and the shoulders to be 5 and...

It'll be maybe 3 times faster (900 vs 333 mhz). The PSP is running DC emulation a little under 1 fps. That's a long way to go. On the plus side once the pandora's 3d hardware gets into play I bet it'll emulate the DC's 3d faster than a DC. But it will be bottle-necked on the CPU. If and when...

Anybody taking bets? I'd wager there will be Dreamcast emulation in the next year and it will top out at around 8 fps.

Here's a fun thought about legal gray areas. Suppose I'm a third party developer and I develop a game for a specific console lets call it the "fun-o-sphere 1". Now suppose the fun-o-sphere 2 comes out with fun-o-sphere 1 compatibility (via software emulation) but I don't want the fun-o-sphere 2...

I agree the Pandora is not a PC, neither is a Mac. Sure PC stands for personal computer, but that's not what it means. There is an industry standard term "PC software" that will not run on Pandora. If you are planning on using a Pandora as a UMPC to run general applications you will be...
