[*]The Mini USB port got me to thinking that I could plug my Pandora into my computer like my GP2X and look at the system (and maybe the SD Card contents) and add/remove software. But no, when I plug it in, it just charges. I'd really like it if I could access my SD cards from the system (Why will be explained in the software section.)

You should be able to do this - if it's not working for you, you probably have a USB 1.1 gamepad. Plugging it in through a USB 2.0 hub should work.
- Like I said above, the USB Port is nice, but not particularly useful in it's current state (At least from my point of view...) If I could connect a Gamepad to it and use it as a second controller, that would be awesome and a much more useful tool.
Dega shows up fine for me.
- Some PNDs don't show up, period. Dega is a good example. Is there another emulator that runs Master System and Game Gear games? (I know Picodrive has basic support of Master System titles, but... I want my Game Gear games too!) That or a way to make Dega appear?
This is a planned feature, and already implemented by PND_utils.Mygames19 said:

Going on personal experience, the version of Dega in the repo does not show up, whereas the one in the app-store does.Dega shows up fine for me.

Did you set a label for your sdcard in windows, or whereever you load your files onto it? If it has a label this will always be the name of the sd in /media
Fileassoziations can be done with pndutils. http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=PND_utils
Edit: And a nice writeup btw. Would like to see your game materialize I think gamemaker runtime works on pandora, so does java.
Maybe post into the devsection, you can get help there.
I seriously doubt the Game Maker runtime wworks on the pandora.
Stuff about SD Mass Storage that I didn't know about.

I don't have an USB Gamepad so I didn't try but there's a video with ED playing on some external pad.

Mednafen also plays Sega Master System and Game Gear games, and by what I can tell so far, does so quite well. It emulates a lot of systems, though, and makes a separate menu entry and/or icon for every one, so be prepared to have a lot of entries added if you use it. The weak points in the emulation for Mednafen are Game Boy Advance (I use gpSP), Virtual Boy (I haven't really emulated that system anyway), and to a lesser extent the NES (sometimes you need an overclock, and I've noticed sound issues; I use gpFCE-GP2X). All the other systems it emulates (Game Boy, Lynx, NeoGeo Pocket, PC Engine/TurboDuo, and the aforementioned Sega systems (I haven't tried Wonderswan)) it seems to emulate very well indeed so far (I get to play Dracula X: Rondo of Blood again )
Mednafen wasn't released when I wrote this review, but I DID download it before my trip and beat Sonic Pocket Adventure using it's Neo Geo Pocket emu.
The program could use some work though. I couldn't figure out how to save state in it, or turn off the 3D effect on the Virtual Boy emulator. It's probably because it's a direct port of the source or something...

better than an ipadsvery awesome review, can you say more about the flash support?
You should note the pandora needs too be switched off when you conect it too the computer or sd mass storage does not work.Something that should be fixed in the next update,the pandora should instantly show up if you attach a mini usb .The Mini USB port got me to thinking that I could plug my Pandora into my computer like my GP2X and look at the system (and maybe the SD Card contents) and add/remove software. But no, when I plug it in, it just charges. I'd really like it if I could access my SD cards from the system (Why will be explained in the software section.)
In XFCE (the desktop, not minimenu), you should head into the "System" menu on the pandora menu and choose "SD Mass Storage" - then, with your pandora plugged in via the mini-usb, choose the SD card you want to expose to the system. Your PC will then pick up the SD card and let you write to it. When you're done, be sure to use the "safely eject hardware" option on your system try (in a windows machine - in linux you can do it from your file manager), before closing the SD Mass Storage window on the Pandora.
It's not terribly reliable at present, though better in Hotfix 5 than it was before. I've found that often I need to eject the SD card and re-insert afterwards on some occasions, but that's quite rare. There's also an issue where if you have a PND open, or the PND system hasn't properly closed a PND off that you find you cannot set your SD card to mass storage mode - just reboot the pandora and you'll be good to go.

Mine doesn't need to be switched off to get sd mass storage to work. What OS are you using?
