Welcome back, haven't seen any posts from you for a while.

Sony, you have a way with words :) Somehow you remind me of BlueProtomon, or is that the other way around? :)

^True, but there's no denying that the videos look great on the pandora. They looked great on my nokia 5800 (640x320) but the pandora is "big screen" compared to that :) PanPlayer is also much more straight-forward to use than VLC in it's current multiple window format. Glad you got it...

^ Thanks Mr Loon. I'm usually quite picky about SD cards but this seems to have passed a few tests that others have run, and the amazon comments seem to back up the performance. Let's see how long it lasts! I'm going to whack a load of movies onto mine.

^ Hope you didn't snap the lid shut too quickly!

Perhaps the thread title needs renaming? :) On a more serious note...my wife liked the Reword game and was extremely impressed with the sound and picture quality of a movie I had on it. She knows her/my territory though! :)

"every little bit counts" .....but then again if you want to "max" out then you might as well boot off SD and not have to worry, although I can see the attraction of having a lean and slightly customised NAND. Seems like it should be removed by default though, hopefully from next OS build.

I encountered this before where the game needs to see a CDROM. I got it working, IIRC you do need to mount D: but as mentioned above look at the documentation for how to correctly mount your D: drive, 'MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom' does not look right. Once mounted I think I would add commands to the...

Bear with it, it will quieten down. Also, best not to lubricate it, or it might go floppy :)

^ Thanks. It's here if anyone else is interested.

I would also suggest trying other game ISOs before giving up. This free software will rip good copies for you: AcetoneISO EDIT Of course you need to own the original.

I think the 'nuclear reactor ' suggestion offers the best mileage :)

@WizardStan Just checked PSP chargers specs. It is a 5v 2amp device so looking at 2hrs for full charge. This means my battery would have been trickle charging for over an hour, right?! Perhaps this is reason enough for it to get very warm....and more reason to use your charging hack. It would...

Overcharging is what I suspected initially. However, moving from about 58% to 100% in little over 2 hours doesn't leave much scope for overcharging. I can't believe the battery would charge that quickly (using a psp charger btw). I have never noticed the battery being hot whilst charging...

Thanks Stuckie. Didn't know the history so did not mean to whinge :) Your hard work is much appreciated. It's great being able to dev on the move and another version would definitely help here, when you get time. ....track them down and shoot them I say .....

Thanks Surt I suppose that's a quick solution. It's a shame the pnd version is somewhat restricted in this way. Perhaps it just needs a recompile with additional formats added?

Yesterday I got back from lunch and put my pandora on charge for just over two hours. It was at the login prompt, but not logged in, remaining charge read at 58% before leaving on charge. When I disconnected it and held the device it was very warm, I hesitate to say hot but it was probably as...

A couple of times I have tried to edit some bmp files but cannot seem to open them using GIMP. For some reason they are not recognised. I'm running off SD card and can't be sure if I re-installed the multimedia pack or not, if this makes a difference? Anyone got any ideas?

I waited for 2 years and 4 months. Yes, it was hard. Especially when people kept asking me about it, and wether it was now old tech. The running joke with my kids was that I had been scammed! Got mine on 2nd Feb and the smile hasn't left my face! My wait was made more bearable because I was...

I guess it would be nice to have a stable pnd version so you are not dependant on a memory card boot.
