Hi All,
Anyone doing any C64 development on the Pandora? I've just got the basics going here...
KickAssembler running on the JRE. Which I run from the terminal.
gedit as a full screen editor.
VICE x64 on a button on my Xfce launcher.
I can hook up my Mac wireless bluetooth keyboard...
I got my unit (2-Oct-2008 order) on Friday. And I can honestly say it was worth the wait. It's a mighty impressive little machine. Thank you very much all involved!

OK, Got the new battery, thank you very much. I didn't think I'd see any life out of my pandora again... But I did! It fired up perfectly, and I had about an hour of use from it. All seemed perfect, although the device was hot towards the rear center. I even saw the red light on for a while...
Thank you all for the replies... I am very special, it seems! Just my luck. :)
I've put it plugged it into an iPad charger (10W, that seems pretty powerful), with a mini USB lead attached. No life yet, but I'll leave it a little longer. Will the USB port charge exactly the same as the normal...
Thanks for all the input, all.
I know load on the power supply is important, but I don't have another 5V supply to use. And it sounds like my unit generated way more heat than you guys have had.
I've sent an email to Jacqueline, who's forwarded it to Craig. We'll see what he says. I wonder...
Thanks all, for the quick replies. I put a shim under the battery cover (a thin piece of balsa wood) and it's definitely snug in there now. I left it plugged into the charger over night, no change this morning.
Removing the battery, and plugging in a mini-USB, also does not show lights nor...
To follow up, I do hear a fairly quiet 'click', similar to the sound when you first plug the power into a ZX Spectrum (!) when plugging in the power supply. There is no change in behaviour if I disconnect the power, remove the battery, and re-connect the power (I understand some Pandora's will...
Hello.
I've got this same issue, with my newly arrived Pandora. :( What a bummer after it's 3+ year journey to me.
It worked for about 20 minutes, I even got the spectrum emulator running, it looked great.
I then powered it off, to let it charge. I noticed a lot of heat around the rear...
Hello! Finally signed up to this board, now that Gruso's blog is no longer updated. Been following the Pandora since just before ordering on the 2nd of October, 2008. It's part of my daily ritual to follow up on the status...
I paid the upgrade on the 19th of March, 2012, and got a queue...
Ordered my Pandora last week, very excited to see how this whole thing develops.
I didn't find a thread about C64 emulation here, so I thought I'd open one up.
I guess we need a port of VICE or Frodo - anyone got plans for such a beast?
Cheers,
-James.
