Pc Engine Emulator

[Exophase]

So are we shifting from GP2X style interfaces to GTK ones for all the emulators now?

No. Or at least, I'm absolutely not. I don't think that fits well for a handheld at all.

I would like to put in my complaint now. :unsure:
But Exo, I thought you weren't getting one from the first batch? Or maybe you actually ordered and I'm just now remembering that it happened. I need to take a few days off, this Pandora Panic is getting to me.

I'm getting one from 250-350 (was MDave's). I haven't gotten the shipping e-mail yet, unfortunately.

I agree there.

I think it would be annoying to have to use the touchscreen and load a big desktop just to launch an emu.

With Pmenu and minimenu out there I really hope that apps won't require full desktops to be loaded first, that would be really lame.

Ah that was it. Well here's hoping you get it soon!

It appears I did, sorry.

As I said, I didnt take offence at this, as I know when something is written down, the tone and the emotions behind what was written doesnt come across too well.

From the tone of your second post you just came across as a bit of an ungreatful knob.

Every one can be a little ungrateful at times, but I assure you, as an end user with absolutely no coding skills, I have the utmost respect for the people that will create something for the Pandora, to that effect I paid for multiple developer funds when I ordered the console.

I saw that Exo took your comment the same way I did and felt that you maybe didn't understand that this product works differently from the others on the market.

I didnt see Exo's post in that light, its not like him.

Because you came across as quite rude I felt that I needed to be rude to get the message across, I'd normally be more tollerant, but you managed to strike a chord.

Do me a favor, go back and re-read my post, but do it out loud in a silly squeeky voice, this way you may understand the tone of it.

I just didn't want Exo to get disheartened and give up because he was being pressured to do something he may get no financial reward for doing.

I have a feeling he wont become disheartened, I reckon he is gonna love his Pandora and clutch it to his chest, in fact I reckon he will call it George and he will hug it and pet it and squeeze it.

I agree about the lame.

I agree about the lame.

Using GTK does not automatically necessitate a full desktop.
At worst you'd need a window manager, and you could use something nice and lightweight like openbox.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be better to avoid requiring it at all, of course.
