Hey Im curious, when the pandora is finalized and released, would it be possible to play an mmo on it? There are two games that are really fun ones called: zelda online and the other is world of hyrule. The games are sorta like runescape and WoW but in zelda realm and all.
 
If they're open-source, probably, though if they require porting to OpenGL ES or SDL or something, much less likely.
 
World Of Hyrule - No. Closed source, DiorectX 8.
Zelda Online - No, Closed source.

Both are heavily Windows dependent and the Pandora would have to emulate an x86 processor for that, which would be unplayably slow. You'd be jealous of the framerate that slideshows get.
