    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    I just added a youtube video of my procedural logo if anyone's interested. EDIT: I modified it so it draws the pandora box logo also, here's a picture of how it looks when its finished its drawing effect.

    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    OK sorry, I just added one. Once you trust it it's better to just download the program as its smaller and smoother. Please note that animation can be improved using the same system by changing some of the data so if it were used as the startup animation, no doubt it would be slightly more...

    Pandora Pandora BIOS - Logo

    I've built a procedurally generated bios animation that draws pandora on the screen, it should only take up a few kilobytes of bios space max and draws a pretty nice looking logo that looks like its being written on the screen. Also it uses a special bytecode to draw the image, so it can be...

    Pandora Pandora Bios

    I think he means that it takes longer if its uncompressed, normally the cycles spent on decompression more than make up for the cycles wasted waiting for the data from storage.

    Sales +/- 3000

    I suspect there will be a higher than estimated demand. I know a few folks in my computer science dept want one and none of them ever come on these forums. I also know of a few other people (like my dad) who are interested in it as a portable computer.

    This Poll Is About Buttons.

    QUOTE Well, thanks to your stupid "teasing" the poll is fucked up now because it has the pointless "don't care" option. WTF! If you don't care, don't fucking vote. Damn. If you really don't care - you need to get a life and stop talking about how much you don't care. You must care a damn lot...

    Playstation Emulation

    If libpng adds too much bloat you can always use LodePNG, it's made for embedded projects that don't want the bloat of the full libpng. NB: That link doesn't seem to work today as gamedev seems to be offline, but I expect it will be back before long.

    Why Is Every Obsessed With Mhz Values?

    QUOTE PS - I don't agree with your maths unless there's some info I lack: 800x480x32 bpp x 60 Hz = 92 MB/s (were MB = 10^9 not 2^30 smile.gif) I get 800x480x4x60 to be 87.89MiB/s like MWeston said, thats assuming that there are 8 padded bits to make it a 32-bit framebuffer. But I think the 92...

    Why Is Every Obsessed With Mhz Values?

    MIPS is better but since intel started making a big deal out of clock-speed it's kinda become a standard. Still MIPS can be misleading, especially with more complex processors. It depends a lot on the instruction set and architecture of the processor. Benchmark tests are the best way, but anyone...

    Pandora Out, Gizmondo In?

    I think you should research, pandora has far more capabilities. It will support pretty much any video or music formats under the sun, will run open-source games. And as for the SDK, thats a bit obvious.

    N64 Emulation Impossible?

    The PSP has a MIPS processor very similar to that of the N64, the Pandora doesn't, so I'd imagine dynamic recompiling would be both more difficult and wouldn't be quite as efficient.

    Think This Forum Needs A Massive Cleaning And Stricter Moderation

    Yeah it's annoyed me too, it's annoying seeing 20 new threads and having to sort through to read the 1 important thread, especially when I don't get too much time. Maybe we should change the caption "If you're stupid then don't get a pandora", we don't want another PSP style scene.

    Well technically pandora's box was a pottery jar.

    Pandora I Want To Try And Make A Game For Pandora!

    The best linux-like programming system for windows is either cygwin (lots of hassle) or Code::Blocks. Code::Blocks uses gcc for windows (MingGW) and has almost the same libraries as most linux systems. Linux is actually a lot easier to program on, but if like me you prefer windows for...

    Accessories/ultimate Docking Station Thread

    Nothing requires one as said, but a clip on dock station is more portable, and less messy than a mesh of wires and peripherals. Also if you're carrying it around with you then you want a fast setup time. Also you can charge externally through usb, which are fairly common.

    Accessories/ultimate Docking Station Thread

    A docking station with: - 4 usb ports. - vga-out - An ethernet port. - A slot to hold an extra battery that could be used to power the docking station and boost the pandora. - A slot + adapter to hold a small laptop hard-drive so that capacity is optional. - Possibly in-built sound...

    Game Concept + Npot Textures Support?

    When I wrote my game engine I just made a software linear filter to up the size of the textures to a power of 2 anyway, that's probably an easier option so long as you have enough memory.

    Pandora At Maxconsole

    I was/am a psp homebrewer and I have to agree that the community sucks, most other psp devs will agree. The reason is that any idiot spoiled 12 year old can get their hands on one, I always liked the look of the gp2x scene but the gp2x seemed too flawed to spend my money on. The specs of this...
