    Looking for new hosting and I need help

    I've been with penguinhost for a few years, and I'm quite happy with them. The pro account looks like it matches your requirements, though I'm not sure how "cheap" you meant. joomla is installable from their built-in cpanel/fantastico admin panel effortlessly.

    retro-games for the little ones?

    Hey! It was inevitable: between seeing me play stuff on the pandora, and on the TV sometimes, my 4 years olds want a piece of the action. Within strict timeslots and supervision, I'm actually happy to let them play some of the old arcade/console stuff. I guess I selfishly want to enjoy these...

    Best Neo-Geo Games

    I've recently developed a love for Power Instinct Matrimelee. It's an awesome fight game!

    Zsnes

    IIRC, the zsnes team itself was trying to replace many of its x86 asm code with ansi C (I have no idea what's the status of that now). Also, while zsnes is open source, the zsnes dev repo is no longer publicly accessible; only releases will have their fixed source tarball available. That means...

    Weird complete freezes

    Many thanks all for your replies, I appreciate very much the enthusiasm to fix my problem :) I should clarify a few things: the freezes are random, as fas as I can tell, and they don't occur that often anyway, just enough to have me worried when they do. I haven't had a half-baked problem...

    Weird complete freezes

    Thanks, I've read the threads indeed. I charge every night, maximum 7 hours on AC at a stretch. The bulging I refer to was there from day one: the case just seem tight, that's all, and it does look like it's pressing the battery hard. Though on this topic, I must say I'm really looking forward...

    Weird complete freezes

    Thanks for your input guys! Thanks, I must have missed that in the docs :P I'm not overclocking. My pandora stays at 600 MHz in almost all cases. The last freeze I remember occurred when playing snes9xp4. I forgot which game I was playing at the time, but I will note down specifics of...

    Weird complete freezes

    Hi there, I've been experiencing some weird freezes at random moments (in-game) on the pandora. When they happen: screen either turns black (but back-light is still on), or displays complete garbage and locks at that both sd slot LEDs turn solid on battery indicator is solid on as well...

    Arcade cabinet recommendations?

    Thanks guys, your input is very much appreciated! I've seen the sitdown cabinets in plenty or arcade places in Singapore (based on some pics I just saw of the Egret 3, I assume they are that). I'll visit an arcade tomorrow, see what the cabinet is like close, and ask if they have some for...

    Arcade cabinet recommendations?

    Thanks Prometheus! I had not found Wah!Cade, thanks for the link. Wah!Cade looks nice, but is considerably less "flashy" than Cabrio. I haven't found any custom arcade cabinet provider in Singapore, so we are considering importing (and yes, that means paying the ridiculous shipping charges...

    Arcade cabinet recommendations?

    Hey there, I've managed to convinced my boss that the office would be a much cooler place with a arcade cabinet in it. Especially one where we could play some funky retro-goodness. Now's the time to make a proposal to get the $$, and make it happen. I was initially only aware of X-Arcade...

    After all that time... I'm done

    Good luck selling your pandora! I gotta say I agree with the negative points in your feedback. In particular, I too am eagerly waiting for the low-cpu-speed, everything-not-needed-disabled, dsp-based, 100+ hours media player :/ (or was it just a dream anyway?). Until then, GMU is my player of...

    Argh! Right nub lost its head!

    Hi there, My pandora experienced a series of unfortunate events last week: 1) my cat knock it off my desk (~80cm fall!) (no damage, amazingly) 2) my co-worker dropped it when picking it up from my desk (~20cm fall) At the second incident, the head of the right nub fell off :( My...

    Overnight charging?

    Hi there, I charge my pandora every night, in sleep mode (pandora has to be turned on to charge). I've noticed that in the morning, the charging LED has turned off, and the sleep mode has started to drain some of the power. That means by the time I disconnect the pandora from the charging...

    Best Sega Master System games

    2 games, I highly recommend on the SMS: ninja gaiden platformer/beat-them-all, plays amazingly well, with the right mix of difficulty, and has better graphics than some 16-bits games (seriously!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3fixbXDhrc penguin land: it's a platformer/puzzle, very...

    any luck with vpnc?

    Thanks for your reply Tim, I can confirm that it works for me on hotfix 5 too, as per the steps you provided. I am now happily connected to my office servers :) I believe I did do the exact same thing previously when I was on HF4, so I'm not sure if the problem I had was due to HF4, or if...

    Feature requests for HF6

    I'm not sure what's considered big or small for hotfixes versus full releases but the 3 things on my list: dosfstools: mkfs.vfat should be part of the standard image (on the other hand: mkfs.minix?? really?) suspend to ram vpn support/enabled (openvpn/vpnc ?)

    So what are you playing now?

    I've recently developed an addiction for Magical Drop 3 on GnGeo. The dpad, A, and X button are taking a serious beating, but holding up ok so far.

    Screen problems

    I'm having probably the same screen issue mentioned here, and I just emailed Jaquelyn to see how to return the unit for repair. In the meanwhile, and for reference, I'm posting below some pics of how the tint looks like on my unit, and the angle at which the issue starts occurring. Sorry the...
