Still fresh, damnit!
Over the more recent past, there's probably been more fixes to compatibility issues than speed-up ones. Two problem games I test; Mario Tennis and Donkey Kong 64 are now very close to playable on my GHz unit, and other mostly-there games like F-Zero are now pixel perfect with no ugly glitches.
I don't know how well a CC unit copes in terms or raw power though.
I'm also hopeful that the Pyra will see a flourishing of Reicast, after that video Notaz did on the devboard a while back. Beyond dreamcast is possible too, but we'll have to see what the excellent devs contributing to this community manage to come up with. That'll probably take a lot of software work though, if driver issues prevent us from getting the native shader support needed for those emulators.

For me, off the top of my head it's:
- larger memory (less trouble running firefox)
- larger screen (to help when reading rss feeds)
- the lit keyboard for when it's darker
- a normal debian distribution
- more shoulder buttons, buttons in general and I think I'll like the newer keyboard arrangement better
- GPS (I'm hoping I can use it like a garmin w/o the cell radio on. We'll see.)
- I'm not buying for it, but I'll probably use the other sensors too. (Temp, humidity, etc)

Rumble is quite a utilized feature on the N64, so you get that on the pyra.
As always with such things only if someone writes/modifies the software to use it.

@Klumpen if it announces itself as a regular interface then http://www.mupen64plus.org/wiki/index.php?title=RumbleSupport should be good to go.

This may be unrealistic, but how does Perfect Dark work out on your Pandora?

I loved that game. Strange, it's the first time someone other than me brings it up. I've always thought, I was it's only player.

Sorry, still not dug that out to test it, and I did promise I'd do that at some point last year. Mea culpa, I just don't know yet.

I used to play with a bunch of people. It has enough fans that it was re-released. It is one of my favorite games. I still have some game saves from 16 years ago that I use.I loved that game.

Nope, but if you have a retrode and an adaptor, you can read it to use on emulators. If you go the Nintendo only route, I'm afraid they'll want you to pay again (if they even sell it - I'm not sure with it being a Rare game that they have the rights).

The 20th 24 hours of pre-orders is now up.
We got :
350 Pre-orders the first 24 hours (350)
79 Pre-orders in the second 24 hours. (429)
49 Pre-orders in the third 24 hours (478) (Some double up Pre-orders were removed though)
29 Pre-orders in the fourth 24 hours (507)
18 Pre-orders in the fifth 24 hours (525)
26 Pre-orders in the sixth 24 hours (551)
12 Pre-orders in the seventh 24 hours (563)
10 Pre-orders in the eight 24 hours (573)
17 Pre-orders in the ninth 24 hours (590)
11 Pre-orders in the tenth 24 hours (601)
9 Pre-orders in the eleventh 24 hours (610) - Note , the number would have been higher, however a number of duplicate orders were removed.
11 Pre-orders in the 12th 24 hours (621)
8 Pre-orders in the 13th 24 hours (629)
16 Pre-orders in the 14th 24 hours (645)
8 Pre-orders in the 15th 24 hours (653) - Adjusted
12 Pre-orders in the 16th 24 hours (665)
10 Pre-orders in the 17th 24 hours (675)
7 Pre-orders in the 18th 24 hours (682)
5 Pre-orders in the 19th 24 hours (687)
8 Pre-orders in the 20th 24 hours (695)
Daily average over the last 7 days was 9.14 Pre-orders a day
Note: Daily figures also include converted Pre Pre-orders. As such , actual new pre-orders would be a little less than quoted figures.

According to the graph, much of the total increase over the past two and a bit days has been down to US 4G preorderers. This is evidenced by the fact that US 4G preorders are now closer to 2/5 (40%) of the EU 4G stat, rather than the 1/3 (33.3%) it used to hover around.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Who knows. Initial tests on a devboard seemed promising, but I don't think anyone has had a devboard setup with working 3D drivers for a year or so by now.
