I don't really play online except occasionally MMORPGs (and it's been a while since I touched any of those) so I doubt anything would make me want to connect the Caanoo. Usually whenever I'm in a usable wi-fi zone I have my laptop with me anyway so I can just play online using that instead...

Well it's still quite new at the moment, and this stuff takes time, but I agree... it's getting a bit frustrating. I thought Snes9x would be out of beta by now, and I haven't heard any word on PocketSNES or GINGE. At least it's playable with most games though, and the GBA emulator is running...

EDIT: double post

Yeah, Snes9x4C is pretty rough around the edges at the moment, at the moment it runs about as well as the Dingux version. It should improve though, since the Wiz was pretty good at SNES emulation. No-one knows when though... :unsure: I can say that a lot of SNES games ARE running very well...

I think it looks like a nice piece of kit and it might be a very good Pandora alternative for a lot of people. Its lack of a keyboard might be a problem if you want to play keyboard-heavy games but for regular browsing and typing, Swype is at least as good as a fiddly pocket keyboard IMO. I'm...

I only have a Caanoo where the PSX emulation is only in beta now. Frankly I wouldn't put too much stock in handheld PSX emulation at the moment, all the consoles seem to "theoretically" have PSX emulators but when it comes to actually playing games properly at a decent speed, even the Pandora is...

Good point, and everyone thought the Caanoo's analogue stick would make retro-games unplayable, but it turned out to be perfectly fine. It doesn't look like a great interface but it wouldn't have got so far into production if it weren't at least decent. I always wish it were easier to borrow...

Wifi seems okay for me, but Ubuntu 10.10 has real problems with my (wired) university proxy. It browses the Internet and downloads via the browser just fine, but no other programs even detect the Internet is there, including the Software Centre, Empathy, and the plugin functions on programs like...

It looks pretty sweet but I agree with the concerns raised in this thread.. I think I'd have to try one myself before making up my mind. I like the idea of having "proper" Windows in a pocket system though; could be extremely useful for travelling and suchlike, since even the best smartphones...

SRM saves aren't that reliable either; in Final Fantasy IV and Super Mario World I've lost both kinds. I hope this is fixed soon!

Yeah, I saw one go for £500 on eBay just last night, it's not that unusual. Some people will happily pay extra to get the machine now rather than two years from now.

Yeah, the developer usually has to deliberately release the source code, so people can tweak and modify it for the Caanoo. I think DK2 might be too advanced for the Caanoo anyway, let's not forget that the 100MHz figure was with a proper PC graphics card and lots of ram and stuff. It would be...

$150? You could almost get a new Caanoo or Wiz for that...

Well, come on, he's trying to sell us these things, he's not going to show it trying to do something it can't do. :P

Yeah, if he doesn't show a game THAT well-known you should always be a tad suspicious. ;)

Yes... I ordered from Play-Asia and had to pay £33 import duty, which wasn't mentioned at any point in the transaction (the bastards!). You might find it cheaper to order from the British or German sites even though the price on the website is higher.

Hey XxionxX! Of course the pre-orderers knew they'd be waiting (I'm not one myself, I must admit!), but that doesn't mean they should just sit tight when, two years later, they're still waiting, after multiple deadlines have come and gone. What I don't agree with is this idea that anyone who...

What's Player 2? Will it make EasyRPG obsolete? Can you give us any info about it? I remember The Way, I'd like a chance to play that on a handheld. The Happy Fun Game was a pretty fun action RPG as well, even if the controls were kind of weird (and would possibly be a bit awkward to put on the...

Right, I mean the Pandora guys made this whole thing look so easy, I can definitely see why you'd want to go follow in their footsteps.. :lol:. As to your question, the only thing the Pandora is missing for me hardware-wise is 3G support (which has become amazingly cheap and reliable compared to...

Yep. I'm exaggerating a bit but I don't think it's too far off given the timing.
