    Deus Ex

    I know this is an ancient post, but I just have to clarify something... It forked off Unreal 1, not Unreal 1.5 (which is what UT used). As for this, no. Not without a shitton of Reverse-Engineering. Tim Sweeney has said he'd like to opensource UE1 someday, but there'd be some legal issues to...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    ...Why do people think it's going to take them 2+ months to design a fix and then a whopping 5 or so months to produce, rework, and test the boards? Like tweaking things on a board that's already mostly been tested and passed almost all of those tests (except for this RAM issue and a few others...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    Yes, and there is a difference between "just robust enough" and "just barely robust enough." That extra word - or its lack thereof - makes all the difference. That's the point I'm making.

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    I'd actually view these as a blessing in disguise. Yes, it was good enough for the 2GB models to have no issue, but if the increased demands of the 4GB chips made it fail like that, then we're talking a circuit that was just barely robust enough. This redesign will probably benefit both 2 and...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    Once they got the EXACT cause narrowed down and a solution in mind, all that should be needed is either retrofitting of the old boards, or (more likely based on what Nikolaus has been saying) a new board with redesigned traces. Proto that, test that, if it's all good, make it. Cases can be made...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    ...If you really think it's going to take them that long, you're crazy, sir. Once they have it narrowed down for sure, about all that'd be left is seeing how they'd fix it, and if it really does require a new board (i.e; can't be solved with capacitors or whatnot), to try to get any money back...

    Baited conversations (split from The tale of the cases)

    That doesn't answer my question. That said, if it can be built by a hobbyist, I'd like a part-by-part breakdown. Why give more money for something I can build myself and get the same effect? Especially considering the purpose I'm requesting it for.

    Baited conversations (split from The tale of the cases)

    But will it torridly make love to me until I pass out, drained and spent, in its arms? If not, what's so different about your idea from some other device?

    The tale of the cases

    Pretty sure dual channel has never supported mismatched capacity. I know for sure it doesn't support mismatched spec - it will always go to the slower.

    The tale of the cases

    Progress is good, both on the cases and the 4GB issue. It's starting to sound like the hardware is getting close to being sorted out, and then it's just a matter of software. I guess we'll see how well FormAction can handle the pressure of knowing you have someone you can move the production to...

    Because heaven forbid that these people have lives, jobs, and things to do outside of the Pyra, right?

    Planet Computers : Gemini - Psion Returns

    Until it can run PCSX2, no point in buying one of those. (And if there's ever a solid CPU upgrade board for Pyra, that might be cheaper than buying a whole new unit.)

    C'mon guys. Don't you want to relive the good ol' days, and use your Pyra as a phone?

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    Jeez, talk about being picky with your words. Does he need to specify the area of the weight as well as the amount of surface in contact in both inches and millimeters too? Let's put it this way: There's probably nothing you could do, short of running it over, that'd break a case made out of...

    Analyzing 4GB RAM

    I think I'm fine waiting out my 4GB. While it's too early to claim victory, it sounds like the fixes might be relatively simple once the actual cause is whittled down, especially if there winds up being room for the new capacitors or whatever. That said, if there's plenty of people willing to...

    I'm out of ideas for news-titles

    This is when I feel both strangely unique and very dated by saying my mobile phone is a OnePlus One, which were unicorn phones when I got it back in the day. Granted, starting to feel its age... but maybe that's also just because it's got a couple years' worth of clunk on it. I really need to...

    Dragonbox Pyra - Spammer initiated

    There might be the possibility of either settings built into the forum, or a mod, where new users can be set to be in a mod-watched userclass, where mods can see their posts, but the users-at-large cannot until a mod approves it. I know on a vBulletin forum I run, we've got new users set up to...

    Dragonbox Pyra - Spammer initiated

    Inconveniencing the people you want to keep just to reduce a number of people who you don't want to keep is like (to quote a rather good musician) treating dandruff by decapitation. What's better is to put in some anti-spambot modifications. I remember for a forum I ran one mod I installed...
