    Post picks and first impressions of your shiny new Pandora here!

    I don't really mind that it turns on when I'm charging it, it's just that when it finishes charging I'd like to turn it off at the login screen instead of logging in just to turn it off. Thanks for that tip about the gamma.

    Post picks and first impressions of your shiny new Pandora here!

    I got my Pandora in today and I've only had a few minutes to mess around with it, but here are the negatives so far- The spring in the second SD card slot doesn't seem to work very well, most of the time I have to fish the card out using my fingernails or a knife. I actually broke my strongest...

    Your pandora has been shipped

    My Pandora finally arrived, 13 days/12 business days after shipping, a little more than 6 hours after I received the tracking number. I kept holding back on asking because I knew that with my luck it'd probably arrive on the same day I got the tracking number, and I was right.

    Premium 7 Days ??

    And of course the same day I finally get my tracking number the package arrives. 13 days, 12 business days if you count Saturdays, which our postal service in America work on.

    Premium 7 Days ??

    I asked for the tracking number for my shipped order on Wednesday and still haven't gotten a reply, maybe they're bogged down at the moment.

    How well is bluetooth audio working?

    I know it's not strictly on topic, but what do you recommend for bluetooth headphones? Digging around on amazon and newegg doesn't actually turn up much variety.

    The Truth is out there (2010-12-11)

    All things considered though, the nub company has been fairly honest and is making a good faith effort to repair their damages- I'm pretty sure EvilD or Craig said that they're taking back and refunding Pandora inc. for all the bad nubs they produced and are working on new ones to replace them...

    The Truth is out there (2010-12-11)

    It is not so much that they didn't have the boards ready, but more that they LIED about having everything ready when they hadn't even started on them yet. Companies are not honest because they do things out of the goodness of their hearts, and if they see it as profitable to lie, they will. In...

    The Truth is out there (2010-12-11)

    Wow, that's really aggravating. I'd suggest you file complaints with the Better Business Bureau and file a report at http://www.ripoffreport.com/ so other people dealing with this company might be more cautious when dealing with them in the future. You could also leave a review for the business...

    Using my TV/Mac as a monitor for my Pandora

    PandoraPress actually had an entry over the summer for getting VGA output from the Pandora (which would let you use most monitors)- http://pandorapress.net/2010/07/29/vga-output-just-happened/

    Pandora Questions And Answers

    It depends on what you want to do- if you watch ebay for long enough you are sure to eventually pick up an old Pentium 4 laptop which meets your price requirements and will run windows and all the games windows runs, but it certainly won't be a portable and it will be much more fragile then the...

    Can't Get Dosbox Working

    What I was thinking about when I was talking about direct ports was the idea that some programs in linux can be cross-compiled to a different platform that also runs on linux regardless of architecture, meaning in some cases you can just copy the code and it runs. Some tweaking is involved of...

    Can't Get Dosbox Working

    It doesn't seem realistic. I've played with it a good bit, and I guess that even though a direct port should be feasible, the efficiency of doxbox on the GP2X is too low to get it to run. If I knew more about optimizing ARM binaries I'd give it a shot myself, but I bet that the creator has...

    Can't Get Dosbox Working

    I had some problems getting it running after getting the exe to work, and I eventually had to mess with some INIs, I've been pretty busy lately though, so there's still plenty to work on. EDIT: as expected, it's running too slowly. In your experience, what are the highest settings that the GP2X...

    guide says it can run, albeit with low fps. I figure that with some tweaking I may be able to get it to work on some level. here are the 2 gpes that I haven't been able to get working #! /bin/sh /mnt/sd/cpu_speed.gpe 1 -20 250 DIRROOT=/mnt/sd/dosbox DIRGAME=${DIRROOT}/SSHOCK cd ${DIRGAME}...
