pyra

One of the main reasons for buying a Pyra is the ability to browse the web. This is much more important to me than using Pyra for playing games - if I want that at all. Unfortunately, browsing the web might become difficult. The Pyra will run the Debian armhf architecture. The Rust programming...

If someone were willing to do the necessary work, what is the potential for running a Linux-libre kernel on the Pyra? Are there components of the device that will definitely not function without blobs or other non-Free software? Is the answer to this question different for the mobile-capable...

Do the mobile versions of the Pyra have the "3G/4G and GPS module" on a fourth board? Or is it on the mainboard? Or CPU board? (I assume it is not on the display board?) Will there be the potential for removing the mobile functionality entirely (for example if it is found impossible to make...

So I've been popping in and out since the original shenanigans with the OP and following development of the Pyra. Looking at the GPU that has been chosen for the Pyra I'm not all that excited. Maybe I'm in the minority but I am primarily looking at the Pyra as a way to game on the go (I know it...

This is mostly just an idle fantasy, but I've started work on a number of games over the years, and sometimes fantasize about finishing one as an indie exclusive/priority release to support some platform I'm fond of. I'm wondering, what would you think of someone went and did it. Would you pay...

Chris from Think Penguin has mentioned this before, but it's being crowd-funded now, and it's really cool! https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop So, basically, the design is there's a "PC card" that has the actual computer on it, and you put that into a case. The case can be a...

Hi, are the circuit diagrams of Pyra available to the public? If so, where can I find them? Some git repo? Which program is used for Pyras circuits and PCBs? KiCad? geda? TIA!

Hi, when I ordered my Pyra, I asked for a (boring) black or coal colour casing. Now I changed my mind and prefer a transparent one. Transparency rules! Will there be transparent Pyras? Can I still change the order? How? What shall I do? TIA! PS: If it's too late or transparent will not be...

I’m pretty sure that this might be hard to achieve, or even impossible, but why not asking: Will it be possible to utilize the display of the Pyra as a screen for a desktop pc? This might be useful for me, since I’m (ab)using some ordinary pc’s as servers and they don’t have a screen...

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster - does anyone know how Electron's ARM build performs on the OMAP? I'm mostly a JS guy, but I'd love to be able to develop for the Pyra.

Would it be possible to port the DreamPi software to the Pyra to use it to get online on the Dreamcast again? And if so how hard would that be? I was thinking that the Pyra because it has USB and Wifi it could in theory be used the same way. For those who don’t know about DreamPi it is a...

I've been dredging the forums for weeks trying to find something, but to no [clear] avail. Basically, I'm trying to find out whether the Pyra will support the .PND files from the Pandora. I'm planning to drop money on a Pyra first chance I get, and just want to know. [Apologies if I'm in the...

I am searching for some catch phrases to present all the people involved here. The first part of the advert will get phrases like: Passion for retrogaming Talented community The Open Source mouvement Two handhelds like a way, a conclusion of the first three sentences Then you will find a...

So uh...feel free to close this thread if it's already been asked, but after all the dust has settled on the Pyra's development, advertisement, sales, etc., do you have any specific plans for your next product idea? Aside from future daughter boards and providing replacement parts for the Pyra...

Hello there, I got contacts to have one A4 page of communication about the community, the Pandora and the Pyra. The magazine Retroplaying will be release in France end of october. The main idea is to have two parts: On top the Pandora, with the text "TODAY" and some informations regarding the...

In order to find out what Advertising works for People who want an Open Source, Community Driven Handheld Computer I created this Pool. How did you find to this Community? Lurkers are also welcome to participate. Other: 1x word of mouth (sorry, can't delete Pool Entries) 2x stumbled upon it in...

I haven't found a thread about this but lots of links scattered in the pre-order threads, so I'd like to gather those here. http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/dragonbox-pyra-open-source-pc-handheld-games-console-02-05-2016/ http://obscurehandhelds.com/2016/05/pyra-pre-orders-go-live/...

Hey ED, The Pandora has a lot of unused solder spots to allow hardware modders to do some weird stuff. But what about the Pyra? Will it be as easily modable? And if it will, what about a Hackers Manual like the one MWeston wrote for the Pandora? It would be really amazing to put more LEDs in...

What are the main events we have to be to promote all the works done here ? In France, we managed to be in FOSS events in Toulouse, Montpellier and Lyon in the previous years. I have to send the application file to be at the videogames event in Toulouse, TGS, this year again. Gamescom in August...
