    What The Pandora Stands For...

    Great post, I completely agree with you, though I'm a bit too impatient to wait 2 years :P I didn't preorder when preorders for the first batch opened, but I followed the progress, and at several points I thought it was never gonna become a real piece of hardware, but now it is, and it's...

    Man Page Usage Debate

    --help is usually enough for me and I hate scrolling through the man pages, a lot of them are just a huge wall of text that I have to sift through to find what I want, but some commands don't have a --help or it just doesn't explain what any of the switches do. So man pages are occasionally...

    So, ... What's The Easiest Way To Install Stuff On Pandora?

    There is a variable you can set to the path of the libraries it needs that will let it know where to find them, try running this in a shell (not sure about the exact variables, but it won't hurt to try it): export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/libraries export LIB=/path/to/libraries Then run GIMP from...

    I Feel Down

    You made a lot of good points, and just staying away for a while definitely makes the wait much easier. I waited a long time before I could get a GP2X (no credit card, only PayPal, which none of the online stores selling the GP2X that I found took), though it wasn't the same kind of wait. But I...

    Game Maker Program

    It's a scripting language, Game Maker also has a scripting language, which is pretty much required if you want to make anything but the most basic of games. I'd advise for people to learn how to code instead of just using Drag & Drop, it takes some work but the results will be much better. Apps...

    Game Maker Program

    Does Fenix have a Pandora port? I know it was popular on the GP2X, that might be a suitable "Game Maker" app (though I haven't tried it myself). @TylerAW Pandora can run Java with the correct libraries installed, but I don't know if it can run it inside a browser (some guy was asking about...

    Your Favourite Pandora Moment So Far...

    Still in the waiting game, but I'm willing to bet that my best Pandora moment will be when it arrives and I first turn it on :)

    I Want One

    Nah, it won't be that bad. Actually I can't believe this topic is still alive :P

    I Want One

    You have a point, but almost everything that can go wrong already has (and then some), so it can't get much worse. There could be more delays, but they won't be anything like the delays that have already happened. I checked out the reports about cracked cases, and that does sound like it could...

    Pandora Programming Java For The Pandora

    Yes, they're for the launch script in the pnd so your app can auto install java. You'd want to inform people who download your app that it installs java though, so it doesn't install things without their permission.

    How Does Pandora Emulate So Well?

    I wish the Pandora could emulate GC too, but that's definitely not possible at anything close to playable speeds no matter what you consider playable. GC emulation isn't gonna happen on handhelds for a few years, which is a pity, I'd love to play Zelda WW on the go. I was honest and told them...

    I Want One

    I think things will speed up as they produce more Pandoras, so part of batch 1, the whole of batch 2 and subsequent batches can hopefully be manufactured and shipped in a speedy manner. That's also what Craig said. However it remains to see. At the current rate it'll take until 2011 to finish...

    I Want One

    A laptop doesn't have a built in game pad though, that's what I like about the pandora. It's meant as a gaming device, a laptop isn't. The keyboard on the pandora is just a plus.And no matter what, a laptop isn't as portable as a pandora, even if its a netbook.

    Wifi Channel

    Channel 14 is Japan only, I think. Everything wifi I've had has had channel 1-13 (I think US only has up to 11)

    Win 3.1 via DOSBox at native resolution

    800x480, nice. I'm not especially fond of win3.1, but good work :P

    Pandora Coding Competition?

    It's a good idea, then the dev fund could be used for prizes :)

    I Want One

    I got a google checkout confirmation saying something like "OpenPandora Ltd will process your order soon" and a bit later openpandorasales emailed me and confirmed that payment had been received. If the payment was sent everything's most likely fine but if you're unsure you could always email...

    White Pandora On Ebay!

    White doesn't look good unless it's Apple-shiny in my opinion. I'm hoping to see some Pandora casemods apart from painting, there was an awesome DS lite Zelda casemod on Ebay once. (some of you may have seen it, it had a shiny Hyrule crest sticking out from the top)

    Got my order number and paid already, woo hoo I'm getting a Pandora! The wait is going to be horrible though :P
