Interesting. I thought the Pandora uses eMMC and I find it very very slow. But when eMMC can be faster than we can hope that the Pyra will have at least a little bit faster built in Storage. Everything would be better than the memory speeds of an Pandora.The eMMC bus is theoretically capable of up to 208MB/s. The uSD UHS-II speed that the SOC is theoretically capable of supporting is 104MB/s.
eMMC memory is available in speeds from 2 to 150+ MB/s. The faster and larger the chip, the more expensive it is. At this time, to my knowledge, ED hasn't announced what chip he's using. The Kingston eMMC in the dev boards, from a cited metrics standpoint is, for lack of a better term, crap.

Ahri! :wub: (Pic 5)Here they are
Ooo... nice to see that wearing furry accessories like ears is becoming more common and acceptable.Ahri! :wub: (Pic 5)
Now that you mention it, are these guys all playing in ONE game? Would be indeed very impressive. (good) Multiplayer support in Emulators is not always given.I'm more impressed by 7-way Daytona on Flatscreens (emulated, I assume). I've only ever seen a real 4-way one of those, and only with at most two people on them at a time IIRC.
Edit: Unless it's just the xbox/psn version I just read about
That ship has already sailed...Let's not get creepy please.
Yes, it's an emulator, but modified with memory injection so multiplayer works.Now that you mention it, are these guys all playing in ONE game? Would be indeed very impressive. (good) Multiplayer support in Emulators is not always given.

These guys have the original hardware and analyzed how the networking works directly in the hardware.
They also have a live view monitor available - something Daytona didn't even support.
Slow is very relative, but it does use eMMC but instead of the Pyra's 200Mhz BUS the Pandora has a 48MHz bus. I think it may only be 4 bit as well though (but I can't find where in the datasheet it actually specifies) so at best it has a 24MB/s transfer speed (or 48MB if it does use all 8 bits), same as the SD cards: in practice the SD cards max out at 16MB/s and I think the eMMC is the same.The Pyra has 7 years of advancements to take advantage of, the bus is over 4 times faster, double the width, with actual eMMC chips to match.I thought the Pandora uses eMMC and I find it very very slow
