    Audio Issues In Mame4All (Sdl)

    If you've been following the beta thread, you may have already heard that there are some niggling sound issues with the current MAME4ALL build for the Pandora. Sound is fine for the majority of games, but some titles suffer from popping/crackling. Sound will often start playing fine, but sooner...

    Pandora Pnd Cookbook

    I've documented a few tricks I've used to get PNDs working the way I wanted. Stuff like setting up config files, Zenity dialogs, checking file contents, etc. Hopefully there's something useful in there for budding packagers. Maybe the old hands can review and/or edit this as necessary; they may...

    8Bbp Paletted Frame Buffer Possible?

    I'm trying to set up an 8bpp frame buffer on the Pandora but I'm not having any luck. The fbset utility takes the argument fine, and the FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO ioctl says it's set to 8bpp, but the display repeats itself like it's set to 16 or even 32 bits (I get four images horizontally and two...

    Using A Webcam With Mplayer

    From Youtube thread: What kind of FPS are we talking here? And look at it this way, falling down the stairs has gotta be better than, say, falling off the roof.

    Beta Dega

    Here's a simple SMS/GG emulator to keep us going until a proper one comes out. It claims an estimated compatibility of 97%. It is not really optimised but appears to run full speed at 500MHz - YMMV. Stuff I know is missing/sub-optimal: Scaling is done using the frame buffer tool and may look...

    Generic Gui/menu/file Selector

    A lot of full-screen framebuffer/SDL apps require some kind of dpad-driven gui for menus, file selectors, etc. Is there some kind of generic library which can be used to achieve this without starting from scratch every time? If not, would developers find this useful and would there be interest...

    Release Visualboyadvance

    A quick build/package of VBA for the Pandora. http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,71,84 GB is pretty good, GBA needs frameskip (configured by default) and maybe some extra umph in the MHz department. Config file gets copied to appdata/vba.cfg so you can experiment with it...

    Easy Source For Headers?

    Is there an easy way to get hold of the headers for the libraries installed in the base OS? Copying the libraries themselves is easy enough, but it'd save a lot of hassle if the matching headers could be downloaded in one big archive. Anyone have a full set and want to tar up their /usr/include...

    Hu-Go!

    To tide us over until Exophase pulls his finger out ;-) here's a quick, unoptimised build of Hu-Go!, the PC Engine/TurboGrafx emulator. http://www.cosam.org/computers/pandora/hugo-2.12.pnd GUI may require some window dragging and the sound is rather crackly. You'll probably want to run it at...

    Pandora Pnd Packaging Service

    My own little projects are all packaged up already and I'm quite getting the hang of this PND lark. If it'll help get more software into the hands of the growing number of lucky Pandora recipients, I'd be willing to tidy up and package some raw builds for distribution. Just post a pointer to...

    Beta Mame 106

    A quick, totally unsupported PND of Cpasjuste's MAME 106 build: http://www.cosam.org/computers/pandora/mame106.pnd.zip Works pretty well, some sound issues (occasional buzzing). The "2x Scale" option is good for horizontally oriented games.

    Wifi Can't Reconnect

    Strange problem with Wifi here. I can connect fine and, while the connection lasts, everything's dandy. However, if the connection is lost, I can never reconnect. I just keep getting the authentication dialog, as if it assumes this is the problem. If I reboot, it works again. Nothing at all in...

    My Pandora Review

    Having received the thing only yesterday, I've not tried out anywhere near everything as yet, but here's a quick summary of the most noticeable points. Note that this is an honest review and contains my own personal opinion of what must be one of the first 100 units produced. Having a sample...

    Pnds Not Detected

    I was discussing this with skeezix in PM but I thouhgt I'd bring it here in case others have this problem. I'm using the xfce desktop and PND files aren't being detected automatically. I have them in /pandora/menu on the SD card, but also tried /pandora/desktop and /pandora/apps (which I came...

    Beta Emulators Available For Testing

    I have the following available for testing. I have quite an early preorder, so even if it turns out I'm testing them myself, they should be available soon after Pandora's release. Should any development board owners however have the time and inclination to try any of them out, it'd be good to...
