Same here.

@Goity - did you see the shit I posted about your disappearance?
Um, no?

I never disappeared. I just forget to post sometimes.

I honestly don't know...Last I heard he went to the pub with DCGM.

EDIT: I miss him too. Happy Birthday, champ. :(
...Please don't tell me that DCGM actually beat Goity into submission with a shovel, force-fed him horse laxitives, and then proceeded to stab him 29 times with a retractable hunting knife before throwing his lifeless body into a piranha tank. I'm really hoping that this is not the case - the shovel would have been more than enough to take care of him, I don't like to see DCGM wasting his valuable money on unnecessary tools of death.

Wandered into the Pandora section for a bit. Saw Craig and ED's attempt at explaining away the quite severe ghosting issue that it apparently suffers from. Apparently it's all right, because every LCD screen does it, guys!


I'm not trying to be a hater, it's just the team's attitude that gets me. Why not just admit you used cheap screens and be done with it? It's meant to be an OPEN console, start being open with your users.

link? all the reviews i've heard have praised its quality screen

Feel free to actually voice an opinion on the new console or something.

I dare y'all to have the Big Kahuna Burger at Hot Rocks in Bournemouth.
Thats sounds like a tasty burger.

It is. But don't forget to wash it down with some refreshing beverage.

I don't know anything about it. I stay away from most of the console based forums due to a lack of anything in them most of the time.
Plus, after the rest of GPH's bizarre handhelds, I hold out little hope for the next one.

Just saw that the Pandora is selling for £580 on ebay.

If only i had held onto my preorder for that last month and a bit, I could have afforded an iPad :(

That's what I've been doing for the past year, although I've been posting a bit more than you. I've been hanging around in the hopes that GPH release something nice, which is what they've done.

If you don't know anything about it, how about you read the thread? Anything that anyone knows about the console is in there. You might be pleasantly surprised.


Edit: Yeah Nova I'm saving up now. I had a go with one in my local iStore and loved it.
Edit2: Good work.

The whole thing looks a bit questionable. Is it still using the Pollux SOC? I'm not sure I'd buy one, as it's looking like a Chinese MP4 player at twice the price. Still, I may be wrong, and I have wanted a decent homebrew console for a long, long time.

The things I think will set it apart from a Chinese MP4 player:
- Build quality; Apparently the Wiz was a bit step up from the GP2x in terms of build quality an' ting.
- The guts; It has nice guts, and is probably more powerful than any MP4 player.
- The community; It will be developed for for more than any MP4 player.
- The lifespan; It will probably stay around for a couple of years, which is more than any MP4 player so far.

And yeah, I've been wanting a homebrew console ever since I sold my GP32 :( .

No, I'm not looking forward to the price on this thing either :S. Especially after Craig's comment.

I'm not. I've already told them I'm not (wait until you see the price of it!).

Edit: Is openXile going slow for anyone else? Been like this since yesterday.

Tis alright for me. Try clearing your cache?

Anyway, off to my first shift at River Island, ta-ra!

I've totally enjoyed my Wiz, it's well made and while with gp32 and gp2x I was more concerned with emulators, this time I've been messing around more with homebrew and it's excellent. So if you guys want a homebrew machine, go for the Caanoo. I'm looking forward to reviews of the device.

And having said that, I do emulate a bit. After two days straight of watching Pokemon while playing emerald, I'm building courage to start it up again and finish the damn thing. It's actually a surprisingly good game.

Dreamcast? I know, it's kinda old, not exactly made for homebrew, but hey, it works! No modchip needed.

Nice idea, but I think I'll wait untill E3 for more info on the Caanoo (although I'm already pretty sure I'll be getting one).


Hey Nova, is Charlie (that's his name, right?) still getting his Pandora?

He was a second batcher, but I showed him some of the most recent posts, and he's reconsidering I think.

Also, if GPH doesn't send us a review unit, which is looking increasingly likely, and you purchase your bad self one, would you mind doing a review?

Yep, if I get one I'd be more than happy to do you a review. Don't count on me though, keep pressing GPH :) . Ask them again after E3 also. I can imagine that they're a bit miffed ATM with the whole leak thing. Afterall, no-one's actually meant to have heard about this console yet ;).

Yeah, hopefully they won't go all apple-gizmodo on us. It's not like we were the ones who blew the whistle on it.
