First Game/app On Your Pandora

[juniorm33]

The Pandora App site (whatever it's gonna be called) may be operational in some form by then I suspect.

There is a C64 emulator on there at the moment - I think I'll stick that on my SD card.

Let's hope the PSX emulator gets uploaded at some point then...

Wouldn't worry too much until they say it's operational. It's still in beta and not a big deal until Pandora starts to ship.
Is probably worth getting your games in order though(roms etc)

 

[PokeParadox]

Definitely PandoraPanic! ... a lot of time has been put into the game (obviously by myself and others) so it will be great to see it actually running on my new toy!

 

[Tensuke]

Threads of Fate (PSX) will the be first thing I do, even if I have to wait a week or something after I get my Pandora.

 

[Masterfurbix]

I'm going to fire up midori or firefox and test out it's java capabilities.

I think you will only see a lot of the emulators mature once the Pandora has shipped, many of them, right now, need command line arguments to run for example. Some are not full screen. Etc. Etc.

But those of you who had GP32s and GP2Xs know the routine

 

[socket]

Wow command line arguments? I don't mind but that's not good... At least some kind of GUI should almost be required.

I remember having my import SNES from japon [anyone from London probably knows about the old Shekana shop in Wood Green, the place for import console games back in the 90s]

The one with the purple squared buttons, i was rocking that for about half year before they came out over here

Yours must have been American then, because both Japanese Super Famicoms and European SNESs had pretty coloured buttons. IIRC, B was yellow, Y was green... the other two were red and blue but I can't remember which way round.

Anyway, the first thing I'm going to be trying is SNES emulation. Probably Secret of Mana or Terranigma.

A - red
B - yellow
X - blue
Y - green

On topic: I'll probably go on some sort of a frenzy where I do things for 20 seconds before moving on to try something else. This will probably last for a few hours, until I settle on something. Most likely candidate is Castlevania SOTN.

Amiga and SNES here.

The SNES is full speed with everything 'on'. We posted a video a long time ago showing it.

I played though Mario64 at Christmas (on the Pandora), but I've never LOVED that game, I enjoy playing Mario4 on the SNES more.

Thanks for that info, I find it hard to tell from Youtube if a game is running 60fps, and I am really sensitive to frame skip on mario, it messes with my jumps!

Now that I know SNES games run 100% (SuperFX, Mode7 etc etc) I am a very happy camper! Can't wait to give Starfox and Mario a try! Woohoo! :lol:

This.

 

[Mithrildor]

Ok it has changed a bit:

Wifi config, so I can browse to the appstore to download sum stuff

 

[Namo]

I'm gonna boot up a PS1 emulator and play some Tomba.

Fortunately we now have a keyboard

"Now I hev a keyboard.. Hoh.. Hoh.. Hoh"

 

[Sphinxter]

init and quake.

Reminded me of


You've got a lot to learn before you beat me. Try again, kiddo!

 

[GhostChaserUK]

setup the e-mail first then play with the OS

 

[DragonAX]

BASH!

 

[Drack]

First non-gaming app? Bootloader

First gaming app? Depends on what's available. Likely a Genesis, SNES, or GB/GBC emulator.

 

[Asiyura]

wifi setup/appstore/Amiga emu {Dune, Eye of the Beholder, Chaos Engine, Gobliins}
THEN I'll try as much as I can other things, but Amiga emulator is my top priority.
