Well, the triggers are used so little they could probably just be assigned to keys.

It should probably be a combination of the two. When a new developer publishes his first few applications, they should be reviewed. If that developer makes an application that intentionally screws up your Pandora, that developer should be permanently blacklisted.

Except that the iPhone's touch screen is multi-touch and the Pandora's touch screen is single-touch. And the processor is 620MHz, which is more than two-thirds of the Pandora's processor's max capacity. Sorry, but we're more likely to see the PS2 emulated than the iPhone.

Sort of like the Nintendo seal of quality? We ought to have some kind of quality control, as lulzfish has said, to make sure damaging software is kept out of the community. It's not so much of an issue how good something is--it's a safety issue. I mean, what if software has: Viruses...

Don't worry, it will be forgiving, at least in the sense you can save anywhere you want. There will be two kinds of save: saving at special points from which you can backtrack anywhere, and saving anywhere you want, even in places you can't backtrack from. So, if you lose, you won't have to...

...but then the cake would be a lie.

Great, but what about cartridge games like for the Nintendo 64? Can you use clip-on cables or something for those?

Sounds good. I like the idea of augmentation. Side note: should there be a separate sub-board for game concepts now?

Doesn't the iPhone have an app that does the exact same thing?

Psycle. I think it looks good, and I'll give it a try this summer when I start developing.

I know this has to be a complete pipe dream, but it would be kind of nice to have a PS2 emulator. For the two good games that I have.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. It was mentioned previously, but I couldn't get to the website either. I'll make sure I at least look at it before making a final decision.

I'll switch to Linux when I get my Pandora. Right now it's just too much trouble. :( Vorbis, .ogg, sounds good. If I do end up with the Finale Songwriter, which is looking more and more likely, I think I can export the files as AIFFs and then convert to vorbis. Thanks for the help.

I like that one. It has the saturation to make it feel like a game, but it doesn't burn the eyes.

Well, thanks for the great replies. I think I've got enough info for most of the stuff I'm going to use, except for the music program. What I'm really looking for is a program that works for Windows that allows me to write my own sheet music (MIDI-style, I guess) and export it as an mp3 or...

I'm probably going to have one SD card for memory expansion and one SD card to bridge between my computer and Pandora. If I ever get desperate I suppose I can use a USB for the bridge. As for 2 TB SDHC, I recently read an article about how it isn't so much the physical capacity of the card as...

Alright, follow-up question: what situations are best for bitmaps and what situations are best for vectors?

I actually used Audacity to record an export the sound effect for my pong game. I could never get it to do anything other than record sound off of a keyboard, and I suck at playing. I will definitely look into Inkscape and Blender. I've actually looked into C++, and it seems a lot more...

I'm thinking about becoming a developer, maybe doing some work over the summer. My problem is, I don't know what kind of tools I should use for creating high-quality games. My greatest work is a 2D Pong game with the images as blocks created in Paint and the one sound effect was played from a...

N64, Dreamcast, and GBA in that order. N64: in my opinion, has the single best library of any console in history. Dreamcast: Never owned one, but played some games on it. I'm personally looking at Centipede. Yes, there are no problems with using the right analog stick for the C-buttons for...
