So What Are The Musts For You?

[White Demon]

Amiga.
Megadrive + Mega CD.
Video.
Music.

That is all.

 

[Kyo]

SNES, NES, PS1, N64 eventually, and emulators requiring a keyboard (C64, etc.)
Unconverted Video playback
WIFI/ internet
gimp/inkscape - generally the fact that it can run apps like that (unlike my DS, which serves as my current universal portable entertainment station)
office stuff
and very importantly - programming. Python, Java, PHP, C, whatever I feel like. On the go.

 

[Snappy]

Emulators - Amiga, PSX, N64 (if possible), GBC, GBA, DS?, NeoGeo, MAME, C64, Atari/AtariST, Spectrum etc.
Media player - unconverted videos (DivX, Xvid, h/x264 ...)
Text/document reader - mainly PDF (RetroGamer for example )
Inet communication - web/ICQ/IRC/email at home/hotspots via WIFI, optionaly everywhere via BT&cellular phone
GPS navigation - with GPS receiver via USB/SDIO/BT ... will this be possible ??? (I really don't know if there is any opensource GPS navigation application)
Office applications - text writer, excel sheet

 

[adamorjames]

Web browsing, games, media, graphics (hopefully Inkscape) and Linux fun.

EDIT: and IRC!

I'd want the pandora for:

-online multiplayer when I cant carry around my NES PC.
- internet and all that good stuff

I'd call the pandora the sickest gaming handheld out there

 

[Prometheus]

Gaming-wise, SNES (my favourite console of all time ), NES, GB, GBC, GBA, PSX, TG-16, C64, Amiga, MD, various arcade titles (mostly by Capcom and Taito), and a handful of MS-DOS games. Also, if N64 emulation happens, that will be a nice bonus as well (one of the best versions of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, on the go? w00t. ). And of course, any native software and ports that catch my interest.

Also, a simple text-editor (nano, which is my favourite text-editor aside from KWrite, is in the Angstrom repository), since I rather like writing and hope to get more done on that front - the Pandora will make this considerably more convenient for me (most of my best ideas don't come to me while I'm at home or have my laptop to hand ).

Lastly, a somewhat unusual must-have usage: Sewing. That's my other hobby aside from gaming and writing. A lot of what I make is gaming-based, and it will be incredibly handy to be able to take my reference artwork with me when I'm sourcing fabrics and stuff, to ensure proper colour-matching.

Web browsing
Something to take notes down during a lecture.
And to make and play my own games on it

 

[Eniko]

One of the big ones for me is PSX emulation. But feeling like proper PSX play thanks to S-video instead of messing about on my monitor. I missed the PSX generation since I had an N64 and always regretted that it wasn't the other way around.

 

[Nailz]

On the gaming side: MAME, SNES, NES, Genesis, anything new and cool the community comes up with

For the rest: Web browsing anywhere in the house, at this point I am confined to my home office when I want to surf, watching videos, listening to music

Now you can have a wank in the kitchen! Result!

 

[lulzfish]

Here's another really cool feature I remembered:

The Pandora takes SD cards
My camera takes SD cards
The Pandora will be able to run GIMP [to some degree, once the OS is running a bit better]
???
PROFIT!!

Portable Photoshop and Flickr / Facebook uploader. .. Assuming that I remember to bring my camera.

 

[PoisonedV]

Pornography

 

[giovanni]

Emulation - PSX, GBA, SNES and (again, if possible) N64.
Programming - I don't know anything about that but I really want to learn.
Mp3
Homebrew
Heretic/Hexen
(I know this one is not Open) Heretic II
GimpShop (now I'm using photoshop but there shouldn't be too many differences)

 

[monkeyo2]

Replace N800 by adding the two most important missing features:

• Playing untranscoded videos
• Playing Street Fighter

Having a keyboard will be nice too, might try and learn some Bash.

 

[Unfathomable Depths]

This is a big ask.

I want to be able to make Windows and Pandora C++ apps using SDL and OpenGL 2.0

There is so much that doesn't work with ES without a lot of work.

 

[Raz]

Documents Reader (Perhaps an OpenOffice and Microsoft Reader Port)
Media Player (mp3, wmv, avi, mp4)

Now, emulators:
Nintendo: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, N64, DS
Sega: Genesis, CD, DreamCast
Sony: PS1, PSP
NEC: TG-16. TG-CD
MAME (Mainly Neo Geo)

It may seem like a lot of emulators, but I only have a few games for each. I've actually owned all these consoles (cept for TG-16, CD, SNES, DC and PSP)

I'm also looking forward to Amiga and C64 as well as Atari 2600, Lynx, Jaguar.

 

[Vince2501]

Need it for the following:

GPS
Web Browser
MP3 player
Video Player
complete 8-16 bit emulation
CPS3 emulation
Possible Dreamcast emulation (Ikaruga and CVS2)
And possibly Doom 3 and its many, many mods.

That's gonna have to stay in the office...... if I knew what you were talking about.... h34r:

Portable dosbox. If it runs anywhere near the likes of the xbox1 dosbox port, I'll be stoked. That and psx emulation. And I wanna use it with the vibrating USB 2.0 cod-piece that I just invented. It is very fast. Faster than all other inferior USB 1.1 pants interfaces

 

[darkblu]

hmm. let me think.. ok:

* functioning kernel
* functional libc
* working sgx drivers
* working wifi drivers
* sshd
* bash

optional:

* good vectorizing arm c/c++ compiler
* working sd drivers
* working s-video out and a cable
