I'm not sure why the devs want the money upfront, and it's probably due to having to order the parts with the preorder money, but what happens if this is the case and we want to cancel our preorder for whatever reason (e.g lack of progress/delays/no new info)?

Craig has stated many times that the pandora pre-order date was delayed until September 30th to specifically avoid those issues. It is occurring at the time where they are sure they can proceed on schedule.

Thats why Craigix said he'd only start accepting pre-orders when he's got a firm date that he knows all the parts will be here and assembled.gibberish said:

I really really want one as soon as they come out but I simply don't have enough faith to pre-order without knowing a solid release ! Plus the fact I havent even seen a 100% complete console yet.
I refuse to preorder when they havent even got a console to show us themselves.
Hopefully I will be able to pinch one off of ebay !

I agree. You can't be sure whether or not delays will happen until you have the thing in your hands. After all, it could even disappear in the post on its way to you, or take several weeks to arrive.CronoTriggerfan said:
When Craigix says "I have 3,000 Pandora's in front of me, we are plugging them in and testing now." It should settle peoples minds a bit however

It wouldn't settle my mind though - it would mean he didn't send me the Pandoras I have to ship to MY customersSquidge said:When Craigix says "I have 3,000 Pandora's in front of me, we are plugging them in and testing now." It should settle peoples minds a bit however
Don't worry folks: After ordering the parts, there's not much that can delay the release, as it means we have a fixed date the factory will produce anything.
You haven't seen much because we don't have very interesting stuff to show you at the moment.
You've seen the devboard, quite a few emulators, Linux booting up, etc.
At the moment we're working on all of the drivers (you've seen USB working in a video and sound drivers are now also working... I hope I can find some time to record a video with audio soon). The rest of the drivers don't show much.
For example: Input drivers for the DPad and keypad. We can code them, but you won't see much as long as we don't have any CNC case and can't press any button at all
Ryo is currently porting gmenu (and has a working version already, but there's a lot of stuff still to optimize like graphic sizes, etc.). Efegea is also coding on a new GUI
I for myself have defined some standards so that each GUI works straight away with everything on your SD Card. I'll post the information about that probably later tonight
So, not much to show right now, but we are all working. Everything's in time at the moment.
And, yes, you CAN get your preorder money back by law. But please only do this if there's no other chance. So: Only order if you really want one

I'd recommend you don't buy it if you have any doubts whatsoever.

Does this mean that the Pandora is getting its own Ace Attorney clone?Fat Agnus said:
Couldn't resist, sorry. :lol: All I can say aside from that is; @ED, thanks for that info - nice to hear more word on how things are progressing. Also, GUI standards are good.

I have a good solution, but it involves a single button, some glue, and your finger!EvilDragon said:For example: Input drivers for the DPad and keypad. We can code them, but you won't see much as long as we don't have any CNC case and can't press any button at all
No seriously, if I had working drivers and a board in front of me I would use some glue and stick a membrane to my finger.
Really.
