Yes, exactly! Seems like it confuses the poor driver. I'll have to give quake3 a shot in 'joystick' mode to see if it works better.

In the future you should edit a post instead of posting over and over. It's generally considered rude by forum etiquette to post more than once in a row. Really strange about not having main in the mixer, after a fresh flash :/

I changed both nubs to "Joystick" and played Quake2 for an hour... didn't run into any issues. I'm beginning to think this is just a driver/software issue. It almost feels like the mouse driver is constantly in calibration mode. For example, try making a bunch of small movements in one corner...

Ouch, didn't realize this. I had trouble installing simple things like "screen" before updating, though :/

Haha, I couldn't help it! I see a reply phrased after another reply and well... maybe I have a problem >_> As far as crackling sound, I can crank my volume knob all the way up and mixer volume to 100% and don't hear crackling (using MPlayer). Maybe I need to dig up some louder mp3s...

No, it's definitely not like that, that's not how a retort works at all. It'd be more like, "ah, your analogy wasn't very good, so here is a better one. Add an air of snarkiness for good measure. Maybe throw in a smiley to cloud the motive."

I understand that you have to calibrate the nubs on bootup, and I do... up, center, down, center, left, center, right center... and for a while the mouse seems to do okay. But after some time it always gets worse, and I can't go down, or some other random direction. I really notice it when I...

It would be silly to not make use of both SD card slots on the Pandora. One for removable media (mp3s, etc) and one for more "stable" apps that you won't remove often.

Thanks, and I hope so too! I've been sweating bullets the past few days worrying about it going to the wrong place, so I've called my previous apartment complex to inform them I may be receiving something, and left contact details just in case. Anyone in a similar situation should do what they...

Just giving you guys a heads up that if you've ever had to switch your address with the OP team, there is a very good chance it will go to the wrong address. I've moved twice in two years, and confirmed my change both times with OP -- got a response both times. However, my Pandora was shipped...

No such luck. It's pure SDL/OpenGL at the moment. Easy to port, but I doubt it is high on Toady's todo list. IIRC the telnet layer peeked in memory at the actual array of displayed symbols and constructed a text screen from that. A serious hack but it worked respectably :)

There was some work done on a telnet layer for DF... basically you could run it on a fast machine, then play it through telnet elsewhere. I'll see if I can track down the author and get it working.

Anyone from the US have their Pandora yet? The airmail delay is killing me xD

Oh Craig. You are the true reason I support Pandora.

I hope this is an isolated incident! My address has changed twice :-/

Completely agree. I can just see it on reddit now "OPENING PANDORA'S BOX: New gaming handheld burning down homes"

Why is there not an emoticon for laughing and crying at the same time? :hysterical:

Woo! My confirmation e-mail is timestamped Sep 30, 2008 at 13:10 GMT. I thought that would put me around 100-150 but I just got my shipping confirmation :) Now the 2-12 day wait for airmail... time to dust off that OpenGL ES 2.0 :D :D :D Damn, all the cynicism that had grown from years of...

In the US we use the pilcrow for paragraphs. I don't know the SHIFT-1 symbol except that I think The Sims used it to reference money...

As echoed by those above me, it'd be nice to know if we can order a case by itself later once they are perfected. That would seal the deal, methinks :)
