    Like an old born baby.....

    Wow, didn't know that ... for me it always worked fine plugging the Hub in first, so either I was lucky, or my USB hub is non-problematic. Back to topic: I really suggest you browse through the repo and check out what's available. There's Libre Office, GIMP, all kinds of music and movie...

    Release Metroid Classic

    I only played the Gameboy Version (think it was Metroid II) and Super Metroid if I'm not mistaken. The monsters move slower there, too. I miss the ability to shoot at a 45 degree angle, and also the shots are quite short (in the other versions you can shoot across the room). But I guess this is...

    Alive and Kicking Coding Competition Rules

    I'll (hopefully) be moving in January, so I don't know if I find the time to make anything. I have an idea for the "original game"-category, but since I have to start from scratch, chances are that I will not be able to get anything to work until the deadline.

    Release HexDigger

    Cool, now it feels like it was made for the Pandora :) (I need to convince my girlfriend to play against me ... not an easy task ^_^ )

    Release HexDigger

    Nice, feels like you're a virus spreading ^_^ Isn't there a way to make it fullscreen? If it uses pygame it should be just one parameter to set ... [EDIT:] as a temporary workaround, there's a "fullscreen"-option in the pulldown-menu of the top-left icon in the window-frame

    Release Classic Apogee Games (Full Versions)

    Try and find out. I bet it depends a lot on how it's done. If you have a game where the ADs blend in with the game (like Chupa Chubs in Zool or Quavers in Pushover) I wouldn't mind. Also static images shown when you start or quit the program are acceptable. One could even live with a banner...

    Release Classic Apogee Games (Full Versions)

    I'm not going to buy a game I am not interested in, or which I think does not meet a certain level of quality making it worth to pay for. For me it doesn't make sense to buy such titles just to encourage to get more of them. Give me something I like and I'm happy to pay for it. Actually I tried...

    Firefox 25 is out!

    Actually there's already 25.1 ... let's face it: the Pandora is a retro-handheld! Maybe we should all revert to version 5.0 from the repo and update to the next available version each day. Like an Advent calendar :)

    I got my OpenPandora 1GHz. I have questions though...

    I have some nice photographs I wanted to maybe enhance a bit and turn into Pandora wallpapers at some point. Mainly nature related. Do we  have a place to collect and upload them?

    Release Classic Apogee Games (Full Versions)

    Any of these classics can be played via DosBox or Qemu (these version run DosBox in the background as well). Everybody knows that. And that's not the point of these offers.

    I got my OpenPandora 1GHz. I have questions though...

    The yellow one is composite TV-out, the S-Video is the only non-cinch of course. Red/white is Lini Out, red=right (easy to remember, r=r), white=left.  Blue/black is Line In, but I also would like to know which one is left or right ... I would guess blue is left and black is right, because...

    I'm Impressed With TV-Cable Out Of The Pandora

    Well, you can either check if changing the aspect-ratio in the settings of the player from "default" to something else helps, or (as already mentioned) you can make a new profile in the TV-Out configuration for wider-than-widescreen-movies, where you simply adjust y until the aspect shows ok on...

    I'm Impressed With TV-Cable Out Of The Pandora

    My 16:9 TV recognizes the signal as 4:3, but I can set it to stretch to fullscreen. For my CRT (4:3) I could do the same (i.e. add black bars on top and bottom and squeeze the image), but since that function is a bit strange on my old CRT I just made a special profile in the TV-Out configuration...

    OpenPandora is NOT dead!

    I'm also waiting for ROTT ... ooooh, there's a new "Apogee Throwback Pack" including ROTT and the expansion pack! (and Blake Stone). :D

    TV-Out: How are you Hookin' it up?

    I broke mine as well, but it was caused by temporary stupidity. I thought the plug is not properly inserted, because I had no picture on the TV and there is always a gap between the Pandora and the thick part of the plug. So I tried to push it in further, lost grip and so I managed to break off...

    Hack to boot pandora without battery. Is it possible?

    I still wouldn't call this an elegant solution, but it's probably what I'm going to do when my battery dies and there are no more replacements because the Pandora 5 finally uses a different battery-design :D

    Hack to boot pandora without battery. Is it possible?

    I know, but I was hoping for a way that allows me to use the connector that's already there. Would be a lot more elegant compared to having an additional connector hanging out of a hole in the Pandora on some wires <_<

    Hack to boot pandora without battery. Is it possible?

    My Rebirth worked without battery, the new 1 GHz board I upgraded to does not. Would be nice to have the option ... would it be possible to just short-circuit the contacts in the battery-compartment or something like that? Probably not ...

    Release F-1 Spirit remake

    Standard config (flick power-switch to right to toggle).

    Release F-1 Spirit remake

    I don't know the original game, just tried it for the first time now on the Pandora. Looks like this is one of the very few top-down racers I like! The car feels very nice, and driving is really fun! The game seems to be very hard to beat though. Regarding the port: I also had to set the...
