Yes, finally! Thanks for all your hard work, and of course all the rest of the team. I am eager, and pacing up and down...I will post fotos
Hate to kill everyone's joy here, but I'll believe this when I see the pictures. there's been a lot of broken promises regarding to timings on these boards, and you should all be prudent before rejoicing2 weeks.. nice Can hardly wait.
And it sounds way better and harmless.... though...2 weeks is the new 2 months
I have nothing invested in this, so I can afford to take joy in even potentially good news.Hate to kill everyone's joy here, but I'll believe this when I see the pictures. there's been a lot of broken promises regarding to timings on these boards, and you should all be prudent before rejoicing2 weeks.. nice Can hardly wait.![]()
The GP2X and the Wiz have a much less complicated design, there for has less that could potentially break. There are most likely weak spots either caused by variations in manufacturing of the cases or there are weaknesses in the design itself.. I doubt the plastic alone is the cause of the cracking issues.I still have a working gp2x and 2 Wiz,s all perfect. What were these cases made of and why could the Pandora not have been made
of same material.
We would not be even looking for Aluminium?
I am playing Mazogs on gp2x as we speak (zx81)
That's where you see the difference between work done by real engineers and work done by amateurs (I don't mean to sound harsh to the initial pandora team, but years of knowledge in materials and manufacturing does make a difference in the end in quality).I've been tossing my DSes around like crazy but no cracks there
Well, the choice of the material is a part of the design. And I don't find the plastic too bad, there just seem to be several 'stress points' where most cracks happen (top lid corners, anyone?)I thought the Pandora is just made of the cheepest plastic, and that's the main reason for these cracks.
there's no "cheap plastic". I mean there are polymers which are cheaper to manufacture than others, but what's used for the pandora is fairly standard. The problem is that it's poorly designed on terms of structure and there are many weak points that should have been identified before making the injection mold.I thought the Pandora is just made of the cheepest plastic, and that's the main reason for these cracks.
Me too. Which, I guess, points to there being rather big variations in the durability of the Pandoras.My Pandoras are all doing great, and I've put them through more abuse than they deserve. Holding up much better than my old DS did at any rate.
