    Hardware PC USB joystick on Pandora

    i am having difficulty getting this to work - looked at some threads and enabled USB host plus connected a USB hub 2.0 compliant. The joystick is a Venom, currently available from Argos for £59.99, working perfectly on my laptop running mame but pandora mame4all not working. What am I doing...

    Linx Vision 8" Windows 10 Tablet With Gaming Controls

    For the money it's great - people will either love or hate the control set up but it does work in the main and very good when it comes to Xbox one streaming.

    Linx Vision 8" Windows 10 Tablet With Gaming Controls

    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/tablets-and-ereaders/tablets/linx-vision-8-gaming-tablet-32-gb-10140215-pdt.html Thought this was good when looking at any competition to the Smack Z (RIP) but due to the low cost of £150 bought one to play around with. The Xbox one streaming is...

    Smach Z will pose some serious competition to the Pyra

    Actually looks great but will it get fully funded and if so are they organised enough to deliver on time/at all? Wonder how far they really are with everything - ready for mass production? Working (fully) prototype? The Linx gaming tablet at £150 from the high street does however look even...

    Why not have a Kickstarter to get a price drop?

    the point is that the original pre orders allowed the device to be produced in the first place - without the remaining ones that increased the expense to continue there would be no device - chicken and egg. the other point was that many companies take over products or services from failed...

    Why not have a Kickstarter to get a price drop?

    Let's be 100% clear - what ED has done successfully with the Pandora was only possible with the original pre orders many of whom still have no device - the project is a failure that should have died. luckily ED took some risks and saved the device and unlike many companies has not forgotten...

    Need a recommendation for a reasonably priced gaming Laptop

    Suffice in that latest games are playable lowest settings okay - the laptop will be used by both myself and wife.

    Need a recommendation for a reasonably priced gaming Laptop

    Wish I could increase my budget but the wife thinks the £329 laptop from PCWORLD will do so cannot push it too much or the PYRA will be at risk!

    Need a recommendation for a reasonably priced gaming Laptop

    not too concerned with dimensions but max 15.6" screen, used my work laptop that size on the bus/train no problem and it was heavy. Not bothered about top spec as it soon gets outdated and price is silly - looking like i7 4700mq and gtz840m with hybrid HD, HP seem reasonable between £700 -...

    Need a recommendation for a reasonably priced gaming Laptop

    I need a new laptop and want to also play new games like Battlefield 4, latest Call of duty etc. as well as emulation (MAME). Not bothered about playing at highest settings/resolution so 720 will do main thing is FPS even if lowest settings needed. Willing to spend upto £1000 but if a £600...

    FAQ for remaining Preorders of OpenPandora Ltd.

    To be extremely kind Craig just lost control and had no idea himself what the true number was due to a large number of units that were returned because of faults - whilst that situation is not really in dispute, being out on the numbers left by a few is easy to do but by the hundreds and...

    Release Oolite

    Solution to small Pandora screen is magnifying glasses - tried the 4x ones my wife uses for reading and they work perfect happy days! Was playing nicely on my ancient netbook but the Pandora controls really come into there own on this game. Also played great on my Toshiba Encore tablet (got...

    Release Oolite

    Just installed the PND and run with my PC saved game and WOW this runs great at 600mhz and better than on PC due to the Pandora controls. Screen a little small but that's not the games fault - roll on Pyra.

    Day of the Pandora is approaching.

    .....and thanks to Craig hundreds of his pre orders will not get a Pandora nearly 6 years later! Yes ED will supply a Pyra at production cost but some of the pre orders may not wish/have the money to do that meaning they lose their money. Craig was a hero to start with but once he messed up...

    Day of the Pandora is approaching.

    Overall thanks to ED the Pandora project has been a success but as hundreds of Craig pre orders will not actually get a Pandora that they paid for as far back as 2008, then it cannot be classed as one. Without pre orders this project would never have happened so it is good to see that ED will...

    Day of the Pandora is approaching.

    That would be true if you paid for that to happen which I am guessing you are not. Craig ran out of money and ED's investors plan was all based on a certain number of Craig's pre orders being left but it turned out that figure was significantly higher. If Craig had been truthful at the very...

    iCP2: They're throwing in the towel.

    .....so if parts were bought and only the nubs needed to be tweaked then why did Craig need and extra $20k to finish the project? All I can see is that the backlighting that was not part of the original prototype went out of control. Why did he not just stick with what was known worked, mass...

    iCP2: They're throwing in the towel.

    May as well have a go at an ICP2 type device - if anyone or group of people can give me any amount of money but ideally I would like £200k plus (yes pounds not dollars) then I promise to try and make it happen. I promise to give this a good go and only pay myself a small living salary out of...

    iCP2: They're throwing in the towel.

    Wording from the kickstarter; Ready to go to market Now: The iControlPad2 isn't dreamland, it's a real working prototype which builds on the successful iControlPad technology. If we're funded, we're ready to start mass producing in time for Christmas. And, where possible, we always use local...

    iCP2: They're throwing in the towel.

    Well this kickstarter was supposed to be risk free as it was ready for mass production - all that was needed was the money for that mass production run. Craig played a blinder here leaving Link with all the legal hassle.
