Thanks, Orion! Looking at it, seems I'll be getting myself an iGo charger. The thing would come in handy anyways.

Really? Hm. Any confirmation on that one before I go spending the cash? I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the Caanoo's USB cable wouldn't work for charging a Wiz, or something, and want to be sure this won't be the same case.

Right, so, short version, won a Wiz on Ebay. Just the console, no cables or games or anything. No problem, thinks I, it's got to just use mini-USB! Oh how wrong I was. And, of course, nobody makes the damn cable anymore. So I come to you guys. Where can I still get a charging cable for my new...

Well now, that changes everything.

My biggest thing is SNES, since it was the big console for me growing up. Obviously the more other things that're quality, the better, though.

So, I've been looking into getting a new handheld for my emulating goodness. The issue here is, I don't know all the good current options out there. Here's what I know of so far that's currently IN PRODUCTION or close to it: -GP2X Wiz -Pandora -PSP -DS -iPhone, possibly? -Dingoo -PDAs, Pocket...

Yeah, that's pretty damn impressive. Honestly, if the Dingoo gets a serious community going and the manufacturers can get into the 'keep a single product on the shelves for years on end' mentality, we could have ourselves a MAJOR player in the homebrew/emulatey console market.

Out of curiosity, are we talking 'good' as in 'equal to the GP2X', or better, or worse, or what?

And if I see it before the Wiz can pull it off, see confirmation that it's beyond impossible for the Wiz from the developer, or some other thing to make the Wiz look like a less than perfect option, then I'll take my money into the Pandora court. As it is I'm not going to be able to hop onto...

I try to play anything I enjoy, whether it be 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or whathaveyou. Looking decent helps severely, but as many games show(Classic Megaman, anyone? Or how about Chrono Trigger?), a game can look damn gorgeous with a good pixel artist at the helm.

And it appears to be down again...Oh well, just a little longer now.

I don't think I'll be getting a Pandora right away, but even that's just because I don't think I'll need its extra power. Of course, I'm not buying either console until June either way(woo graduation gifts), so it could go either way, depending on how well emulator and homebrew game development...

So, I've been looking at various emulatey handhelds, and my final decision comes down between the simple and less expensive effectiveness of the Wiz, and the do-it-all nature of the Pandora. Ignoring issues of final release quality remaining to be seen for the moment, one thing that nibbles at...

Out of curiosity, how much stuff will have to be done for each batch of Pandoras? In terms of testing and assembly and the like.

A long while. Like, several months a long while. Shelved my old GP2X, waiting on a Pandora, poke my head in every few months to see if it's out yet. So do we know if this issue will be fixed, or are we all just kinda twiddling our thumbs and waiting for an excuse to bail?

All links posted in forum posts seem to be acting nuts for me. For instance, here's one out of the Pandora info thread, on the latest render: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=46587 Here's what I get when I try to click it: http://www.gp32x.de/board/\"htt...587\" ...As you can...

That reminds me, is there any chance of progressive-scan TV-out?

Oh, it's definitely possible. Hell, it's theoretically possible to take a USB disc drive and have the Pandora mount it. The issue comes more down to power(both electrical and processing) to DO anything with that, and motivation.

Is there currently any place selling the BoB, the commercial cradle, or even just a USB host cord? Or are things pretty much dried up and we all have to wait for the Pandora?
