from craig's twitter, would be nice to hear some more over pandora experience. Where is it?

The final cases aren't even in texas, the OS is still missing some components...
A few devs got pre-production pandora, just read their topics if you want a review.
 
For the last couple of days I've been trying to upload a video of me playing LoZ Ocarina of Time / Sin and Punishment but my internet fails me. I was going to post some thoughts in that thread. I should be able to upload it tonight (I'm going to my brothers where they have much faster internets).

OOOh sweet! Can't wait for the video. Those are two of my favorite and probably most played games on the N64!

me playing LoZ Ocarina of Time

My brain skipped over the "Ocarina of TIme" qualifier the first time 'round, now it's reeling. A must see video!

I feel your pain with Youtube, though, even uploading a short HD video over a not-entirely-terrible connection (upstream here is notoriously poor because, god forbid, people might run hosting companies or have the upstream to send the request packets required to saturate their downstream) takes a painfully long time. I can imagine a 10 minute 720p HD video would be easier to print on photo paper and mail in sheet-by-sheet.

What about Majora's Mask? :)

Hey Adventus: What speed were you running your Pandora at when playing N64? (was it Full Speed?!?!)

If you could though please tell what clock speed each app is running at.

N64 will be nice to see but we really should know if it is running at 900 MHz with no sound, it is only fair.

Adventus has included such details of the clock speed and optimisations on his previous videos on YouTube. That is if his account is called JudasAdventus. Can't wait to see this video.

WOW, you where reading my mind! I was going to ask for these exact 2 games(My 2 personal favorite N64 games)! I'm going to sleep shortly, so I've now got something to look forward to come the morning! Thanks Adventus! I'm also looking forward to your personal review of the Pandora!

Yep. I always try to include the clockspeed, frameskip and rendering resolution in my videos. This one is at 800mhz, No frameskip or sound, 640x480. It irritates me when people omit these details from daedalus PSP videos.

Hey Adventus: What speed were you running your Pandora at when playing N64? (was it Full Speed?!?!)
Zelda is fullspeed in some places, its about 85-100% in the 1st dungeon but the town is slower, maybe 60-85%. Sin and Punishment is not fullspeed in general, it jumps between 60 - 100% depending on how many enemies are onscreen. Both games are fun, though sin and punishment is alot easier than i remember :) .

@DaveC: If you want I can send you the newest binaries, I think the one Pickle supplied has old graphics plugin (i dont use a .vsh file anymore).
