eh, forgive me but im pretty sure we've a very similar video a few months ago...?
its just a demo of donpachi running on a screen attached to the board. also, why is it running the wrong way round? presumeably it'd be rather hard to play it like that. id like to see what it looks like the correct way round.
something new, would be nice.
framerates look nice though :0
What do you mean by, 'why is it running the wrong way round?'
It is running in 'tate' mode, which is the correct aspect for this and most other 90's/2000's traditional shooters.
Hopefully you were being sarcastic.
Why would this person be "being sarcastic"? The pandora is a handheld and the point of having emulators on it would be to play them comfortably using the devices interface in its normal position.

But when you were playing it on your television, was it the original arcade version, or was it a port to some other system (e.g. psx, PS2) where they would expect more horizontal resolution than vertical?
If the former, then I imagine it would be possible (though I don't know); if the latter, then unless we get an emultaor for the respective hardware, you're probably out of luck. With a slight exception of if it turns out that the psx/ps2/whatever port is actually an optimized arcade emulator for whichever system, and that it would be possible to rip a rom that could be used on e.g. finalburnalpha. I'd say that's very unlikely, but it's been known to happen.
That last remark made no sense to me at all. Ports of emulators or games usually allow for features that are available on the chosen host platforms' hardware. What are you saying? That its o.k to fork out major cash for a device that mainly plays homebrew and ports of existing software and we shouldn't expect said ports and homebrew to work in the devices native resolution? Thats pure fanboy spaz talk.
EDIT: Before the flames burn off my face, isn't a handheld meant to be held in a manner that allows you to use the controls? For $300+ it had better. No offence to the devs. That is all.
Edit2: edited to curb the jerkiness of my post
