Pandora

[sukhi2011]

I'm trusted to buy a pandora console.


I did like 2 emulators running on it 32x and n64 and they run in full speed with good sound.


The vlc player is it good as pc and can it run all dvd,vcd other formats?


I want to buy cheap one,i live in the uk,does anyone know where can i get one for cheap price?

eBay's your best bet.

I did like 2 emulators running on it 32x and n64 and they run in full speed with good sound.

The N64 emulator really pushes the limits of the machine. Don't expect everything to run full speed, but with frameskip most things run beautifully.

The vlc player is it good as pc and can it run all dvd,vcd other formats?

With the codec pack installed (for legal reasons, various things like DVD and MP3 playback can't be included on the machine itself, so you need to download separately) it can run pretty much everything that you can on your PC. High Definition h264 encoded files (720p) are a little beyond the power of the Pandora right now (there's one additional chip that would change this that we're having difficulty taking advantage of, but eventually) but everything up to standard def 480p work fine. 640x480 and 720x480 videos display perfectly.

The pc vlc is it ffshow and k-lite codec,where can the codecs be downloaded as you know.it's not windows platform,so i can't use the same ones.

^ The codec pack that WizardStan refers to is this one (ignore the screenshot there, it's not relevant to what you actually get - it's just meant as a visual hint that I'm guessing is familiar to users of Microsoft Windows). It's all of the common codecs for Linux (which can generally play just about anything you can throw at them), packaged up so that they can be installed on a Pandora in one go.


EDIT: If you're interested, the Community Codec Pack installs all of the below (I've put it in spoiler-tags because it's a big list), as well as adding support for SD Cards, flash-drives, and hard disk drives that are formatted as NTFS.

CodecPack + PanPlayer (a newer build of mplayer someone did) works very well; the mplayer included with CodecPack is pretty old and performs poorly. With PanPlayer, its shockingly good for a pure software solution, until we get the DSP all sorted out

What is it like?

Lets just say that it's the 2nd best to having sex with a hot chick.

 

[XxionxX]

Then i bought Kingston 32gb sdhc memory card same thing happened again,bought from ebay and was free postage


Both sellers said return them full refund will be given,it can be both sellers knew there were fake but they didn't tell me.

Where do i install the vlc pnd file and codecs.

How would i know the cards are original not fake,please help me on this.

You would use H2testw, a program designed specifically for this purpose.

Where do i install the vlc pnd file and codecs.

You don't strictly *install* PNDs - you simply put them in a specific location on your SD Card. The Unofficial User Manual covers this. Basically, you would put both VLC and the Community Codec Pack where the instructions tell you to, and then run the Community Codec Pack on your Pandora and wait for it to finish its work. After that, you'll be able to use any application that requires the codecs from the pack, without any problems.

 

[Blue Protoman]

Prometheus, I'm ashamed of you; you forgot to chastise him for buying SD cards from eBay!

 

[Prometheus]

^ Actually, I already advised against it in one of his other threads.

 

[sukhi2011]

I don't have pandora as yet,so i can't check anything at all.

 

[Nintendo]

Please let us know as soon as you get one.

 

[sukhi2011]

I will let you know as soon i get one,i hate waiting to long.

 

[sukhi2011]

Does the codec pack go into Pandora>desktop>apps.


From the desktop does it show apps folder in there should show codec pack do i click on it to install.

 

[freamon]

Does the codec pack go into Pandora>desktop>apps.


From the desktop does it show apps folder in there should show codec pack do i click on it to install.

You can put the codec pack in either pandora/apps or pandora/menu on your SD card. Either way, it can then be installed by clicking Pandora Button -> System -> Community Codec Pack Installer

 

[Blue Protoman]

Anything in the "desktop" folder only shows on the desktop. Anything in "menu" only shows up in the Start menu (what's the official name for that, anyway?). Anything in "apps" shows in both. And anything in "mmenu" (note the second M) only shows in Minimenu.
