Gamescom, sensor upgrade and other nice news


I agree, I think kickstarter fear is an issue, more often people are less willing to get burnt (again) and want an physically existing item that many people are saying they are happy with and few are describing faults about.

That said in (basically) rescuing a project that could have easily died and looking after those he was able to - I think many here have confidence that where possible ED with "do the right thing"

Its possible a lot of people at Gamescon unless they were specifically coming to see the Pyra might not know of the details and past history so would see it as another nice idea that one day might happen...
 
Any photos of it ED?

Also , a sort of question, probably deserves a sort of answer :) . Anyway, I was wondering, since the Pyra has an upgradeable SOC daughter board, it isn't unforseeable that a future more powerful SOC may generate a lot more heat. Yet the Pyra has no cooling provisions for such an event. Doesn't that make the SOC being replaceable a bit challenging for need of a better word, ie if a future SOC does turn out to generate a lot more heat to get all it's performance - which is very possible, the current cooling solution wont cater for it.

I'm sure you have thought about this, and I was wondering what your take on this is? Perhaps there's room in the Pyra you have left to allow for a DIY cooling upgrade?


What about a water cooled add-on option?

xD
 
@codifies most of the stuff I would back on KS I tend to be months or years late to the game, as yesterday I found one that ended around 4 years ago (for this one, if I decide I want it I will just make it myself).

Except for certain custom or handmade (or, even better, both) items I no longer really purchase things before they are complete, as I have been burned one too many times on other types of things. There are always exceptions, and ED with the Pyra is a great example. He does this due to passion, and has shown that he can handle this type of project and is doing it for the right reasons. His openness and honesty are also something that is mostly unseen except in completely custom stuff, so even if it all fell through I would not be upset at him, as I would rather be supportive of him and those like him (shit happens, and I appreciate people trying to make stuff for "the rest of us"). I would probably send him MORE money for future projects when I can, with no expectation of getting anything back, and offer word of mouth advertising of whatever he is working on or selling.
Someone that made some custom items for me continuously lied and tried to screw me and many others over as he became to greedy, I did as much as I could to make his actions known, and he is now banned from eBay and has such a bad reputation that he will probably not be able to sell to his intended customers again. Eventually I did receive my items, which were hastily thrown together and barely resembled what I commissioned, yet there are others where he ran off with their money, probably around tens of thousands of dollars.
My point is that there are some of us that would rather see people do new and creative things honestly, and, while we may not be the majority, if you get enough of us together we can probably have enough influence to make it worthwhile to do things in a responsible and friendly way.

Thanks, @EvilDragon. Keep doing what you're doing. Same for some members of the community that also go above and beyond.

Now I just need to wait Two Months.

was anyone able to compare how TILER works compared to the rotator chip? it seems good, right?
 
I have seen the TILER in action for 5 min, maximum... But from what I saw, it was nice and fast, and we had no synch issue like with SSD.

Would be fantastic to see some more videos, especially if devs have units now xD Love the size of the new screen when side by side with the Pandora too....

The refresh rate vid from ptitseb is great, really makes the ghosting obvious on the Pandora
 
Just signed up been semi following this and the win. Do you think the pyra will be really good at running emulators like mame or would the win be better? I also like how the pyra can get upgradable cpu but do you see it being used much?
