...because even if you own the game turns out its illegal !

*sigh* IP owners just don't get good will and community, even if roms are "pirated" to the nth degree, release a little retro box that looks like a previous...

probably not
will it have a removable battery ? doubtful
will it cost an eye watering amount ? certainly
will it be supported years down the line? probably not....
just for a second I thought they were talking about

phew, Pyra still safe ! ;-)

so... more people looking for devices they can do emulation on, hopefully some will come this way....
I found this page again (first spotted it a while ago...)

I find the gc2000 interesting (its on the MXi6)
okay so I know this isn't specific to the Pandora/Pyra but I know there are a lot of people interested in emulating different systems.... it should just compile out of the box with the right libraries (basically gtk3!) and it'll be working on the Pyra as soon as I get my hands on one...
Its at...
Looking around on the internet support for the SGX544 especially Xorg looks problematic
I've found developing on a system without for example GLX support is a disappointing experience and my main reason for a Pyra would be for "on the go" development, so full Xorg support would be essential...
I'm assuming that out of the box there will "only" be GLES (3?) I wonder is it possible to emulate OpenGL core profile with this or at least restrict your coding in such a way as the same code would compile as is on a desktop or on the pyra?
While GLES2.0 on Linux desktop is very easy (you just...
As I understand the display hardware there are a small number of independent display layers.
The idea I've had is to write a kernel driver for the keyboard that would make use of a dedicated layer, with the ability to consume touch events when needed.
This would mean even at the lowest level...

While its nice to see these open source designs, I wish they'd get on and open the documentation for their GPUs, on my i5 I enjoy open source all the way from bare metal to userland, this means robust *maintainable* opengl drivers but also gles drivers too (handy as...
Ever since becoming decidedly underwhelmed with Debian's decreasing reliability and increasingly restrictive packaging choices (the dependency graph can limit your choices) I've become quite the Gentoo fan, with even the wife appreciating the speed compared to her previous Ubuntu setup (another...
I was honestly suprised that the new quad core Rpi was only supplied with 1GB, I really can't see that the price difference between a 1GB and 2GB ram chip is really that great? possibly in the budget for a Rpi but hopefully not for the Pyra
Even if you aren't a "power user" who's using multiple...
While I really apreciate the open source nature of intels new GPU's (basically open source from bare metal to userland) one thing I've long been uneasy about is Intel's Managment engine (or equivilents)
With no actual way to shut it off (Its designed primarily for anti theft recovery) it has...

While this has a great price point, it has some cons
While there is no valunerable hinge, on the go development is going to be disadvantaged by more than a separate wireless keyboard... (While android development on android is...
I used to own a Pandora (and intend on getting a Pyra!) so I can't do any actual porting myself....
However, with luck I think any "porting" should be very minimal, indeed probably just a minor tweeking of a Makefile (Yeah really tempting fate there)
The codebase (with demo) is on...
One of the things I added to elderly S2 was a wireless recieving coil for charging (its one of the ones with a low profile usb plug)
the charging coils are very slim and could easily fit inside the case with little and possibly no redesign!
The one major bonus is that there is zero wear and...
Hands up who thinks plastic film connectors are a robust and enduring component....!
Every single device I've ever had with these hateful plastic film connectors has failed, they simply are not suitable for a moving connection.
in a device without moving parts it is the one critical weak...
