Can someone scan the article and post a link?
As for the GameDev.Net comments about the controls, they totally missed the point. It's a little silly to suggest that the Pandora is designed to be "all things to all people", since it targets *this community* specifically. Rather, it's intended to be all things to all *emulators*:
- GPSP & PSX4GP2X too slow? Pandora has a faster CPU, more memory, and dedicated video hardware.
- Love Vice2x and 2xMess but the virtual keyboards are too cumbersome? Here's a real keyboard.
- You like ScummVM but don't like using a thumb control to move the mouse? Touchscreen!
- Enjoying GPFCE but would prefer more NES-like controls? D-Pad!
Of course, every feature in support of smoother emulation also empowers our homebrew devs. Imagine all the open source games that ParkyDr can port now, e.g. Armagetron Advanced!
So, the Pandora dev team wisely should disregard general complaints about the controls.

I liked the article but how come no mention of Payback in the commercial games? Apart from that it was great.

Can't really justify the cost - offering to buy me one then?

I would certenately donate towards a dev so they could get one. There was talk of some kind of pandora donation system, too.

Payback has been covered several times in the magazine already. I believe I did mention it in the body text? Can't recall exactly as I don't have the issue in front of me, and I write so much stuff it's hard to recall what I've said!craigix said:
Cheers for taking part Craig, and glad you liked the feature. Hopefully it will generate some more sales for you, and some interest in Pandora.
As for scanning, like I said I will be scanning it to add to my portfolio when the next issue comes out. I think it's bad form to scan issues that are currently on sale. Why not pick up a copy if you're interested? It's one of the best mags out there.

The main Problem is, not everyone here lives in the UK!

I wasn't seriously expecting anyone to buy me one, but it is true, I won't be buying one myself until I'm in the market for a replacement for my GP2X. I much as I'd like one, I think you should wait and see what happens when the Pandora's released. I think there will be a lot of stuff that just works (with a recompilation or even ready built packages) with the screen size, keyboard and faster processor so you might find there's a lot of releases anyway.
