    Dosbox Fun

    I also ran dark forces again, at 850 Mhz, no sound, low settings and its very playable. I was surprised. I just started messing with dark forces at 850 Mhz, things get really smooth at 4000-5000 cycles (no sound) Thanks for that Pickle. That's great news about Dark Forces! Pity about X-Wing...

    Pickle, could you please test the TIE Fighter demo (freely available - just google tiedemo.exe). I'd be interested to see a) how it runs and B) the rating the install program gives the pandora in its "Machine Speed Setting" field. Just tried it on my PSP and it was a slide show unsurprisingly!

    Dosbox Fun

    Warcraft 2, Red Baron, and UFO were all sluggish in some way at 3000 cycles, so 5000 should do wonders for them. I know I keep harping on about DOSbox PSP, buuuuuuuuuut.....this is interesting reading - http://www.pspdosbox.co.nr/ (see UFO Enemy Unknown) I don't see how UFO can be sluggish on...

    Dosbox Fun

    I've run X-Wing on my PSP under DOSBOX, and it's very playable. I would imagine the Pandora will do a far better job. Edit - Actually if someone could provide me with the old DOS version of TIE Fighter, I'd like to give it a test run on PSP DOSbox just to see if the 2500-3000 cycles figure is...

    Dosbox Fun

    I hope so. I also hope that I can find my original old X-Wing floppies and try that - maybe, being an earlier game, it was lighter on resources and will play better? (well, I can hope - got to find the darned disks first!). Ta, I've run X-Wing on my PSP under DOSBOX, and it's very playable. I...

    Outdated?

    I'm tempted just to jailbreak the new iphone. I wonder if it would beat Pandora in terms of raw power.

    The other one is a Space Flightsim, called EPIC. It is a very underrated game and as good as Wing Commander. Runs great at 2200 and at 3000 would be really fullspeed. EPIC 2200 Cycles That reminds me: Has someone Wingcommander 1,2,3 or X-Wing or Tie-Fighter at hand to test? I'd like to...

    I''m Writing A Letter

    Not a big fan of Bungie games, but I hope Ninja gets a positive response just so I get to see you all eat your respective hats :P

    I''m Writing A Letter

    A lot of negativity in this thread. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how likely it is that his letter will end up in the bin, but if he wants to do it there's no harm in trying. I can't see how he would embarrass himself by doing this.

    Order Cancelled, But Can I Reinstate?

    When I received my refund back in December, I decided not to reorder due to a number of issues - lack of prototype, lack of communication, the money being handy on the run up to Christmas. I sent an email to the Pandora team saying that I wouldn't be reordering. However, now that Christmas is...

    In A Real Quandry....

    I felt exactly the same way. I eventually decided the negatives outweighed the positives at this time and kept the refund. Assuming everything works out, I'll be ordering from the second batch.

    Post Here When Your Refund Clears

    I don't know, I'm beginning to think this is the right decision for me. Rightly or wrongly, I bought this thinking that it would be arriving beginning of December. Now that there's every chance I won't see one till next year, I'd much rather have the £200 spare for Christmas (I'm sure you know...

    Mine came through also :) On the fence about reordering though, tempted to sit this out and wait for the second batch

    Post Here When Your Refund Clears

    Absolutely. Even if it's just something along the lines of "Spoke to the bank today. I said ..., they said ... . No progress yet guys" Somebody on the Pandora team should be chasing up the bank daily to get this sorted out. If somebody IS doing that currently, then letting everyone know about...

    Unless somebody else randomly put £200 into my bank account, I just received the refund. Edit: Actually, somebody did! False alarm (sorry darkowl, hoped i would be able to change this before somebody saw it!)

    Ubuntu Gmenu2x Skin

    I really like the Ubuntu skin for the default GP2X launcher, but ideally I would rather be using GMenu2X. Has anyone considered creating a ubuntu skin for it, or is there already one available that I've missed? I'd make the thing myself If i had even the slightest amount of artistic ability...
