    The Situation

    I don't care if the developers are trying to produce the unit's themselves with a penknife and a soldering iron, they surely have five minutes in their day to post and update even if it says "nothing happened today, still awaiting target x". For one thing it would surely save them the effort of...

    How Much Will Arm Be A Handicap To The Pandora?

    x86 is utter rubbish, its only still used because of backwards compatibility. ARM is a more modern efficient design, it still has a few quirks but on the whole its far far better than x86 as a platform. The same features that make lots of x86 cores fast (superscalar, register renaming...

    Emulating The R4300i

    Why would you want cycle accurate timing? All games (or almost all games) should use the processors built in timer (real time clock) so and cycle accuracy is not possible on a fast emulator normally.

    Counter With Quantity Of Pandora Remaining On Main Site.

    That wouldn't make any sense whatsoever, if there's a counter then lots of people might wait to see how it sells before ordering, or put off ordering because there's still loads left. Without a counter people are all going to buy the pandora as soon as they can then they aren't stuck waiting for...

    Which Quake Engine To Port?

    This is a silly argument, almost all shooters that use dual analogs have auto-aim, why would they have that if they were equal, also you'll find that the difficulty is often lowered on console games. You can't get the same level of control with a control pad because it simply doesn't have the...

    Will There Be A Photo/picture Viewer Available

    Even in the unlikely event that there isn't it would take about the sum total of 10 minutes to write one.

    Pandora Keyboard Leyout And Fps Games?

    Yeah I agree, mini usb mouse for aiming possibly with a portable keyboard for movement/etc. But tbh I don't see myself using this machine for fps's, portable consoles just aren't really made for them. Its more for classic type games or games that don't require fast reactions after all, you're...

    Any Boot Animation Details?

    This thread has boot animations for the bios, Pandora BIOS - Logo. It would be really nice if the linux boot logo could become a continuation of the bios logo.

    Suspend And Keeping Network On

    QUOTE Yes, no. If suspended, the os doesn't work, so it can't do anything. If not suspended when the lid is closed, the battery will run out in 10 hours. Well if you powered down all the un-needed hardware and underclocked as far as the thing would go then I think you could get way more than...

    Quake 3

    You could just compress the textures at load time if they're not already compressed, save them in a cache folder and then next time you could just load the compressed version but still use the normal version for the pure tests.

    Developer Fund

    QUOTE This will give you access to a beta testing zone (where you can try software early) and the money donated will be used to reward Pandora software developers for their work. How would a developer get access to this system, if we release something do we get access for free or what? I have...

    Shoulder Buttons?

    Look at the renders on the front page, also a search for shoulder buttons should reveal something as it's been discussed multiple times.

    Early Vs Late Adopters

    I've never really been an early adopter of anything, but the reason for being an early adopter for the pandora is obvious. If you join a developer scene late then you have to waste time catching up with all the quirks of the system you are developing for and also all the fun projects will...

    A Question For Craigix

    Has nobody ever seen what the psp can do with 32MB of memory, 128 is more than enough provided there is no bloated code running on the system.

    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    The problem is most of these images are really flashy and good, but are more for the bootup sequence than the bios. For the bios the animations either need to be procedural (programmed) or fit into a few kilobyte gif file. I think all of warmfluffyuk's animations could be programmed but without...

    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    Thanks, if you do write that program it would be nice to get a plot of the official pandora logo going, but it would be a lot of effort. Can't think how you'd do it so it correctly drew all the letters though.

    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    Thanks, my logo was aimed at being run during the bios loading stage where I doubt there will be access to graphics hardware. The speed can easily be modified by changing one line in the program, it could also run for as long as it takes to load or whatever which may be good. I was thinking of...
