I thought it was a terrible piece of writing and it was aimed at a completely wrong audience. Tell me when Retro Gamer reviews/previews the system.

Suspend to RAM is definitely a kernel action, as Linux is 'running' in a matter of speaking... but I'm not so sure about suspend to disk... It almost certainly has to be a BIOS function, since the boot sequence is run through the BIOS and it has to know at a very low level to load a RAM file off...

I want the opposite... I want to see text when I boot up a system... An option to disable the splash screen and/or whatever snazzy animation comes up during boot, and just show the boot process. Edit: Also, I second the option for a password. It would be neat :P

Suspend to disk can't take much longer than suspend to ram... I personally would, in the event that it would suspend to disc after a certain time, choose to have that time be at a minimum, like after 5 minutes. After dealing with the GP2X and battery life I'm weary of implementing features that...

I vote for "Mode". 6-button Genny pad homage. ;)

Why not just have it suspend to disc? It could dump whatever's in RAM to an SD card and fully power down, and when the console's turned on again, it would just dredge up whatever's in that particular system folder? No battery drain that way at all, and perhaps ingame, or while any particular...

maybe just "PDA Mode" and "Game/Console mode" or something, don't know. maybe? maybe some kind of way to do alt-ctrl-baskspace to restart X to avoid having to do a full reboot? :P I was going to suggest something similar. Because while I still do want to utilize the UMPC-like capabilities of...

Well, I think that a simple host/client connection, in lieu of Kaillera, would work quite well. Most of the time it's not a matter of you wanting to play a particular game, it's the enjoyment of playing against someone else. So there's nothing stopping people from opening, say, a Gunstar Heroes...

You're probably right, but it still leaves loads to account for. It's mostly the two RISC processors and the VDPs that I'd be wondering about. Plus the geometry SCU... Its just a lot to actively emulate, and it would take a lot of work to optimize for the Pandora.

I've been gurgling over this question for a while, too... Really, Nights to go would possibly be the best thing conceivable. Perhaps someone who's really dedicated to the platforms (Saturn and Pandora) would take this on, and pull a psx4gp2x like zottd did, but we'd need a master coder and an...

I seem to be hating OSX more and more as time goes on... OSX is like a thick white blanket, smothering the user until they hallucinate from lack of Oxygen, and see the Hand of God. If you try to tear away the blanket to do something a simple as find the root directory, it fights with you until...

Assuming I can afford a few more gigs on SD than I have purchased for my GP2X... Pidgin, or Skype, or some other chat program PSX Emu and MGS... Probably at least one movie, or more Since my iPod decided to die, I'd probably also carry a few gigs of MP3s Then all of the Roms and Emus that are...

I will happily wait till August. I'd also imagine its hard to deem how 'ready' the software can be for an initial run of units, too, as the software for a unit like this will always be in some sort of flux.

I was going to say how bad of an idea that was because I always associate my Nomad with huge bulky things (for some reason >_>) and the Pandora is this sleek, 'tiny' thing, but I pulled my Nomad out, and the matte is perfect. And, actually, if you look hard enough, it has two different "grades"...

If MGS is playable on this... I know where my life will be buried for about a month after I get one... Nose deep in Pandora ;)

Well, I'd be assuming it would be similar to the normal netplay functions of an emulator, but something a bit more centralized, with one center program accessing and initializing the emulators from the 'chat' interface... Kind of like kaillera, but not emulator-specific.

Why tease us? Arrgh. I mean... Thanks for the update... ;)
