I think so, although I don't think it has any visible effect except how soon the frame gets updated when you modify the frame buffer. I'm fairly sure we're currently running it at 65Hz, but are talking about dropping it down to 60Hz to save a bit of memory bandwidth.

That's alright then. :)

Jaguar ROMs are signed? *sigh* Never knew that. Has it been cracked at all? I suppose it must've been, for the cart images to be floating about. Is the algorithm known, though?

Wouldn't that be quarter bandwidth mode?

Orkie, did you ever find out what the mystery sanded chip in a JXD is?

Interesting news! I love the Pandora, but I still think there's room for a JXD301-like device that's cheap and compact to compliment it. I'd probably use my actual JXD301 if the firmware wasn't such a PITA...

Hallo Dio! :)

One last video of the Chrono Trigger intro running on PandaSNES. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5XGMrv25G0 The Pandora's still underclocked at 500MHz, but now I'm running the kernel with notaz's L2 cache fix. The intro takes a few seconds more than three minutes to run at full speed, here it...

Ah, but, having the L2 cache enabled means it goes faster, which means you could lower the clock speed even more to run your programs at the same speed. But will that mean a lower amount of current being drawn from the battery compared to running at a higher clockspeed with the L2 cache turned...

Good work, notaz! B)

I've just cut a piece of card to the size of a DS screen (assuming DS lite screens are the same size as the original DS's screens?) and tried placing it on the Pandora's screen. If you could stand to turn the Pandora sideways ninety degrees you could fit two DS screens on it with room to spare...

No, the reason the graphics were sometimes wrong in the first video was simply that some effects weren't being applied when the frame was composited from its elements - being a bit unfamiliar with the SNES I hadn't realised they were missing until I compared what was on the Pandora's screen to...

We're already underclocking it at 500MHz now. I think that'll be the new challenge in emulator writing on the Pandora: seeing how low a clock speed you can get your emulator to run at instead of how near to fullspeed you can get emulated games to run. As you point out, this will stretch the...

Thanks for the comments everyone! :) I'm afraid I don't have very many SNES games, and none of the ones you suggested. But here's a bit of Super Metroid to tide you over until Squidge takes PandaSNES back (I bet he's got tons of games!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVyyvadS6KA The sound is...

Here's a video of PandaSNES running Chrono Trigger with the graphics problems fixed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH-mcMpBocU It's running much too fast, but that's a nice problem to have in an emulator. :)

Sackfulls of gems and beautiful women, plskthx. ;)

I've just fixed the graphics glitches; it was a stupid assumption on my part that was causing it. As far as I can tell the graphics on the Chrono Trigger intro are 100% correct now. I'll update the video later, and perhaps do one showing a different game as well.
