    Jpc - Java Linux & Arm Optimized Dos Emulator

    C is simpler, it has lots less complexities. People think that java and C++ are better because of their feature-set but they tend to over-complicate things and encourage in-efficient programming. Java was created for portability, so you don't use it for performance, you use it to create platform...

    Jpc - Java Linux & Arm Optimized Dos Emulator

    QUOTE Jazelle RCT can be used to significantly reduce the code bloat associated with AOT and JIT compilation, making AOT technology viable on mass-market devices. It can also be used to support execution environments beyond Java, such as Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, Python and others...

    Jpc - Java Linux & Arm Optimized Dos Emulator

    I had assumed this was an undocumented feature, having seen the documents I don't see the major difficulty unless the remaining opcodes are more complex functions to integrate with the window manager and hardware? Still I'm guessing if it requires interrupts to handle the remaining opcodes then...

    Jpc - Java Linux & Arm Optimized Dos Emulator

    Or someone could try to reverse engineer the jazelle stuff in the processor, dunno how possible/probable that is though.

    Peripheral Devices For Pandora

    If you live in britain you can buy a usb ps2 controller for the pc from GAME for £13, pretty sure you can get logic3 and other dual-analogue usb rumble-pads equally cheap elsewhere. I'm imagining that most peripherals will be usb or sdio based, there aren't really many pandora specific...

    Opengl 1.1+ & 2.0 Support

    A lot of people are talking about needing to use openGL ES but the factsheet clearly states that all of the SGX series is capable of openGL 1.1+ and openGL 2.0 support. Now I'm wondering if anyone knows if we would have to pay for the conventional openGL support or if there's any reason we...

    Pandora Standard File Format?

    Extensions should be no more than 3 letters, iirc some older filesystems don't support longer extensions.

    Pandora Standard File Format?

    I'd have thought somebody with a name like yours would be backing .prg as a sane extension :P

    Pandora Apps And Sdhc Read/write Speed?

    The 256MiB of internal flash is only for the firmware and 256MiB is more than enough, and also it's part of the ram chip so it's size is unlikely to change. You will probably have to install everything onto a sd card, but then sd cards are replaceable so you wouldn't want to install stuff to...

    Animated .gif Support For Wallpapers

    Animated desktops are about as useful as a chocolate teapot, but that said it should be pretty easy to get an animated desktop if it runs the x window system.

    New Button Layout Poll

    That'd be far better than letters, letters could become confusing as there is a keyboard too.

    Pandora Logo - Take 2

    I'm quite particular about things like this so I'd say 14 is the only logo that's anywhere near useable at the minute. For one it needs an icon and lettering, lots are just lettering, also the icon has to be simple enough that it can be rendered in as little as 16x16 for applications and things...

    Headphone Port Combination

    I'd rather have access to a straight headphone port for ease of use, but if having the adapter will make the design easier and mean that the pandora has less ports about the place then it's a good choice. I'd rather have an all in one port than make the pandora look like a usb hub with lots of...

    Why Not Just *run* Debian?

    My pc is relatively new (AMD64 Dual 4200, 2GB DDR 800, Nvidia 8600GT OC, nForce mobo, etc) and almost every distro I have tried failed to boot (Incl. Ubuntu 7.10), whereas windows xp ran even before I installed the drivers off a disk.

    128mb Of Ram...

    QUOTE I don't really see what you're getting at either. RAM is RAM, isn't it? If the video chipset can address the RAM then it shouldn't matter if it's faster than normal SDRAM or if it's shared with the CPU or whatnot. Ah, there I go making assumptions again (gotta stop doing that). I had just...
