name should just be Pandora Controller or something, pantroller sounds like you're rolling around in your pants man.
As an non native english speaker, i always read it like pan-troler. I would never had the idea of reading it like pant-roler, so thank you VERY much for your comment!
To sad it is the number two of the favorites on forum.gp2x.de.

this should only be a last resort if no pads are available, as even a basic NES controller is more comfortable as a pad than the panda....
Well, i didn't visit ED at the Cebit, so i didn't had a chance to hold it in my hand yet. But yes, you are right and got the point. It is for all situations, where are no (additional) pads are available. Which is, for a mobile device quite often, if you use it for what it's designed for: Being mobile.

Funny how different people periodically come up with the same ideas :rolleyes:
I swear, I have AT LEAST seen 5 threads containing this one, Including one I started...
Yes, as you may saw, i did mention at last 3 of them. Sorry if i missed the one you started.
There are a lot of extensions of the basic idea. We could unite all contributions into one project.

PRI? Hm, pandora remote controller? PRC? Sounds like the remote control for the pandora.

If the USB controller breaks through wear and tear I'm out for a fiver. If I manage to damage Pandora whilst using it as a USB controller I'll be *sooooo* pissed off with myself I'll probably never be able to look at myself in the mirror again!
You did not get the point, but you are right. The idea is not
replacement of an existing pad next to you. It is to have the possibility to use the pandora like a pad if no gamepads are reachable.

Game pads break all the time from over use, or people who simply get pissed a fling one across a room.
The only broken thing on my gravis gamepad pro was wire breaking where the cable went into the pad. Easy repairable by opening, cutting the broken part away and re-soldering the wires to the sockets. If you throw your pads you should think about you game style. I prefer fast but gentle, going easy on resources.

All of those names sounded too much like "troll" to me.
How about calling it the "Blue Bamboo" interface?
BTW you should throw in touchscreen and keyboard support as well, not just gaming controls.
Did you read everything? I thought i did noticed that already.
So far, so good with the qoutes.

I would like to offer you more suggestions translated from the german board.
How about the project name "Condora"?
At the moment that's the favorite name of the gp2x.de board member voting.
Another one uncommented so far is "Pandopad".
And a new idea to use the pandora as a gamepad for another pandora was posted too. One pandora does normal emulation of a four player racing game and three other pandoras in controller mode can play together with it, even if the game or emulator does not have a network multiplayer mode.
