    Hi, I haven't really used my Pyra much since I got it. But I kinda knew that would be the case (no pun intended), and vowed to use it next time I went away somewhere (next weekend). After spending an hour or so having a play this morning, setting a few things up, I found that my limited use...

    Early Pyra Impressions

    Hi! Here are some of my thoughts/scribbles after a couple of weeks (and maybe 5 hours) of playing):- Ran SUDO UPDATE/UPGRADE and all seemed to update OK. The downloads came down over WiFi 5Ghz at around 2.5MB/s. The update is showing that a pulse-audio driver has been depracated - not sure if...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    My Pyra has arrived! I'm away now for a few days, so unfortuantely won't get time to play, so here is a very brief summary of the delivery/costs and my 1st impressions:- Fedex finally delivered the package today (was due on Friday, but delays etc....). Their website for tracking is pretty...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    That makes sense. So I guess I bought the voucher in 2015 to reserve the pre-preorder, and then upgraded to a "full" pre-order on 30/04/2016 for 330 Euros? It's all so long ago :cool:

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Good question! Looking at saved emails, I think my original voucher order was made on 19/10/2015. However, I think the upgrade to a pre-preorder came later, and the associated email for me was 30/04/2016. The pre-preorder window was open for a few days IIRC.... Do these dates sound...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Today I received my Pyra #173 shipping notice. EU 4G model destined for the UK. ETA Friday. It's actually happening. Can it be real? :D

    What have you bought recently?

    Do you use a CRT or LCD? HDMI/SCART/VGA? I'm planning on using a CRT over VGA, and mainly for arcade cores. The whole scaling output situation is confusing me more, the more I read :D Line doubling and scaler off is what I think I need....

    What have you bought recently?

    A MiSTer multisystem deluxe package from RMC. Been looking at the MiSTer with growing curiousity over the last year or 2. Anyone here got any experience of the MiSTer? (It'll probably turn up before my Pyra!)

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Jupiter Hell. Absolutely loved DoomRL, (including the awesome Pandora version) and wanted to show my support by Kickstarting its spiritual successor. That was 4/5 years ago, and I've waited patiently(!) since for the full release :) So I started playing it a couple of days ago, and it has...

    Hello Pyra pre-ordians Has anyone received their Pyras from this latest batch? It's been a few weeks (23rd July) since I got my email and paid the outstanding payment! I've got a holiday coming up in early September, and was hoping to take the Pyra with me :) ED - Any updates you can share...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Woohoo! Pre-pre-order 173 submitted for a Chrome 4G-EU-4GB version. Sweet ;) I went from cancelling to un-cancelling a few months ago, for personal reasons...... Feels good to be back on-board. Will have to get more active round these parts again :D

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Finished Wreckfest on PS4 (although I'm still playing multiplayer and doing tournaments). So now started Hollow Knight, also on PS4 (PS+ freebie). Liking it so far:- easy to pick up, solid mechanics, and nicely judged combat. Very metroid like, with gated access to new areas and things to...

    Just a quick heads up

    Just been looking through old emails (in a folder called GP32 no less!), and I spotted the Pandora shipping email from "Craig and the Pandora team" - dated 14/01/2011. Nearly 10 years ago :eek: Blimey. What a nice anniversary present the Pyra will make :D

    Just a quick heads up

    Order number 173 here - I uhm-ed and ah-ed before pulling the pre-pre-order trigger :( Hopefully production will be smooth and efficient over the coming days. Be nice to have an official update from ED re timescales and expectations....

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Just finished Inside. Wow, what a game! Beautiful, atmospheric and inventive with great puzzles and fabulous animation. Might only last 5 or 6 hours, but I much prefer that to 50 hours of tedious wandering, crafting and sand-boxing in the standard, modern "open-world" snooze-fest xD

    Pyra and Brexit

    Looking at the latest from the Brexit trade negotiations, and the obstinance from BoJo and "cronies", I fear that No Deal is the most likely outcome. Unfortunately, given ED's lack of updates in the news thread, I am also worried that Pyra production has hit a snag (it wouldn't be the first...

    Just a quick heads up

    Any updates @EvilDragon? Nearly a month since the last one :( As a Brit, I've been watching the Brexit debacle with utter dismay, and I'm a little concerned that:- a) No deal will be the outcome of the "negotiations", leaving us on WTO rules from 1st Jan 2021 b) The Pyra will ship and land...
