    libflashplayer.so from Android phone?

    Ah, that makes sense. Still it's a major improvement, no longer is it embarrassing to show the Pandora's Flash capability (red bar and grey fullscreen). Hmm, can we really expect any better given the Pandora's current video decode and graphical capabilities? Aside from a lighter browser...

    libflashplayer.so from Android phone?

    Yes, Gausen, have you got a webpage, Paypal account, or someplace where people can throw money at you (in a nice way of course)?

    Alpha 1: Mission critical craft under attack! Mission critical craft shields down! Mission critical craft hull condition critical! Mission critical craft destroyed. Abort mission, mission failed. :(

    DOSBox FE will not start [Fixed]

    I will try a reflash since I also have issues with Kami Retro...... EDIT: Reflashed using full flasher, no change. 1 GHz unit, default settings. I made a move to ext4 recently (possibly after my last successful run of DOSBox FE, I don't recall), could this possibly be causing the copy error...

    Kami Retro will not start [Fixed]

    Only if the reflash process had me do so, which I don't think it did. I can use stouffa's advice and install the beta SGX, unless you have other ideas. EDIT: Reflashed using full flasher, no change. 1 GHz unit, default settings.

    DOSBox FE will not start [Fixed]

    Actually, Qemu is the best. ;) I do appreciate the suggestion, but I have resolved to never again touch anything produced by the developer formerly known as StreaK. He no doubt works hard, but never, ever again. I can open it with 7zip on my PC and view the files. DOSBox itself runs like a...

    DOSBox FE will not start [Fixed]

    Here's the pndrun .out: I tried adding a blank runbase.sh to appdata since I already have the default directories, and I get a permissions error. Paging Pickle/mcobit... EDIT: Sorry about this, turns out my .pnd's were corrupt. How? I don't know exactly...

    Kami Retro will not start [Fixed]

    Here's the pndrun .out: Seems like this or the last firmware update (1.53) caused the breakage. Segfault error, paging Steven Craft... EDIT: Sorry about this, my .pnd's were corrupt. How? I don't know exactly...

    One queue cleared, TV Out cables finally coming and some other tidbits (2013-03-20)

    Hear hear! Hope you have a good beer after finally clearing the finish line, ED. And you march on to clear the other queue as well -- that's just boss. I have a defective pcb lying around that freezes on boot, would you mind if I sent it to you to sign and sell in your shop?

    I vote we call the P2 'The Dragon' - The OpenPandora: Dragon!

    Opendora. Evildora. Dos Meses. Craigixbane!

    Cost. Ouch

    If you're struggling to justify then it's likely you won't feel satisfied with the purchase. If you know the strengths which together uniquely identify her in the wild, then you have all the persuasion there is to buy her. Is the price still justified? Yes. That the hardware is behind the times...

    What the P1 got right, what it got wrong

    I see, although I don't think that's so bizarre, assuming you can record both channels at once all it takes is a small microphone plug with the proper adapter and you have real stereo recording. If not, it's still not an issue since most microphones afaik are monophonic and typically show up as...

    What the P1 got right, what it got wrong

    For the headset, my understanding is that OPT picked a jack that followed the standards and Apple is the one who messed it up. Assuming that 'fact' in isolation, I'd say no, but I'm sure there are other details involved.

    What the P1 got right, what it got wrong

    Glad you picked nontrivial stuff that's pretty agreeable, hopefully the posts that follow can do the same. "Low quality/volume/bass internal speakers" <== You don't think the latest is good now? They've definitely improved on the bass end, can't say I know what the best mobile speakers out...

    It seems the newer screens are less efficient :/

    @comradekingu Yep, I agree, the shots so far are pretty unreliable for a true test. A light meter would be really helpful. But the light difference is evident in person; I'm just trying to give people some idea of the difference with what little I can do. I'm not sure what you mean by...

    It seems the newer screens are less efficient :/

    Right, naive question, got it. The advanced gamma correction is not the silver bullet, I tried it per your suggestion, ED. It's a nice interface once you figure out that you have to change the numbers across the bottom. Lowering the numbers on the left restores the blacks but drops the...

    It seems the newer screens are less efficient :/

    My camera's sadly not suited for this kind of fine-grained comparison, but I think the results in comparing luminosity still show. Both max brightness, new screen in CC unit @ 200 gamma, old screen in 1 GHz @ 100 gamma. I show the two units swapped in case the position or angle mattered. New...

    It seems the newer screens are less efficient :/

    Something I'd wondered when I first received my 1 GHz was whether the newer screen used less power than the older one since the screen itself was darker. Today I had the opportunity to test after swapping the screens between the CircuitCo (CC) and 1 GHz Rebirth Pandoras. This is admittedly a...

    Hardware modification: hold screen at an angle

    This is the ultimate case mod! Can we add this to the wiki please? Very impressed, elegant solution, sir. Just implemented it using a pocketknife, and it works as advertised, like no other charm. Thank you.

    I think it's time to ask for some kind of official response... :|

    To clarify a bit, many of the existing .pnd's will break even with the adoption of .next, which I bet will be out before a Pandora 2. But I agree with the general sentiment that the majority of software should be compatible across both systems. We already have been doing polls, posting...
