Just want to say, a great initiative. I might contribute a few coins myself, like £10 or so, but need to wait until paycheck comes in. :) Although, it is kinda ironic to trust a guy whom has Kefka, one of the most notorious backstabbers in all of gaming, as his avatar... X-D

What the topic says. If I could jailbreak my PS3 with my Pandora I'd be quite happy. :) More details at http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2010/09/psfreedom-source-code-released/

My point was, stop thinking "app store" and start thinking "repository". Whether the packages have dependencies or not or what the client does after the download is irrelevant. It's just implementation details. I'd much rather see a generic store app in which I could add a list of repositories...

I wonder why so many miss the painfully obvious? "App Store" is the same thing as "A repository in which you may charge for the packages". So, App Store ~= Repository Now what do we know works great with packaging and repositories? That's right, apt/yum and their frontends (synaptic et all)...

These days, Dev-C++ is mostly abandoned in favor of Code::Blocks, which has much more features. Check into it!

I got most of those numbers from a quick glance at Wikipedia[1]. Looking at the official sheet[2], it's probably true, however, the fact sheet lists 14M Poly/sec, and that's with a 200 MHz clock. The Pandora one is clocked at 110 MHz[3], meaning the number of polys will be lesser (unfortunately...

Just wanted to say that the Pandora can render around 14 MPolys/s, which would be around 230 000 polys to play around with (if you're aiming for the 60FPS limit which I'm assuming), and a decent enemy/player model would need around 2500 polys to look good. There's plenty of room to play around...

Pandora/Last.fm and Spotify are nothing alike, to be honest. Spotify is an all-you-can-eat smorgasboard. You pick the songs. They play them. It's that simple. It's just like a locally installed music player with access to 2 TB of music...

ID3(ish) tags would be great for a number of things actually. Like, developer/publisher, date released and so on - information that won't change at all. Also, no genres, just use tags instead. That way, Castlevania: SotN can be regarded as a platform game, AND an Adventure game. Favorite ratings...

Why? SQL Databases are great, but when it comes to actual files, isn't it better to, you know, store the information about a certain file in an ID3 tag or similar? Just asking.

Just have one thing to say; WALLSCROLL OF BLACK! GIEF! :D

That is *almost* what I'm after, but I want to be able to type "make && ./pandoraapp" on my main desktop - basicly, a single step to try out my app. Of course, debugging would suck, but for quickly testing performance and doing those last minute bugfixes this would be invaluable. Slowness isn't...

Not so far as I know. You might have luck building your own toolchain under Cygwin. Emulating the Pandora has been discussed, and at least doing the CPU is easy (QEMU), but I believe it's the graphics that aren't guaranteed. You can always just code on the Pandora itself as well. Personally I...

I second this, and I'd also like to see the top image/title dissapear (above the logo, logo looks really good). On a real pandora that blog will require quite a bit of scrolling before getting to the news... :/ Can't you just be creative with min/max width? Also, having an alternative...

The biggest argument against ALSA is that no other UNIXes use it and it adds to the mess that is Linux sound today (don't think it's a mess? Then you haven't been keeping up). However, OSS4 violates certain kernel policies in Linux and will thus never be considered for mainline inclusion unless...

While the idea of categories seems pretty unpopular, I'd still like to have different categories - At the minimum, "By system", "By developer", "By publisher", "By title", "By series" and "No categories". Navigation wise it should be similar to how stepmania does it. And of course, you should be...

I really want this. Not in the least for the emulation bits, but mostly because it's simply the most exciting thing to come out in years. With luck this combined with a decent 3G-phone will cover all my portable needs when I'm on a bus going somewhere. And the hardware is simply... Amazing...

That sounds sweet. From the looks of it the Pandora might have atleast one half-decent commercial game in Q2 2009 then... :)

That game looks like it could be sheer awesomeness, but right now it's screaming more "Tech Demo" and less "Game"... +1 for a port, it'd be a great way to showcase the Pandora's strengths if nothing else. :)

Another thing that came to mind; what about localizations? A game in Japanese might have the title screen in Japanese while the english version has the title screen in english. Thus, do we display the title screen in Japanese, or English? And what if it's a fan translation? And, using the names...
