I don't know anything about MAME, is there a chance of Hydro Thunder running on the Pandora?
Hydro Thunder will be able to run on the Pandora, but not through MAME (at anything close to playable speed, that is). MAME is significantly slower than other emulators because it's designed to be as true to the original hardware as possible with little regard for performance.

However, since it's a Naomi (basically a Dreamcast with extra ram for arcades) game, it'll be able to run on the Dreamcast emulator. That's assuming that NullDCe will eventually run fullspeed, which may never happen. If it doesn't, you can still run the PS1 port in PSX4Pandora. The graphics aren't nearly as good, but it should still be just as much fun.

new vid is up!
Wow, not bad. Nice demonstration of using the Controlls and watching the onscreen-Action. :)
Well...maybe MWeston should practise a little bit more with Mortal Kombat. :D At least I hope he lost because of his skills and NOT because of a maybe poor Pandora D-Pad...^_^""""""

I have to say, that MK I was looking mighty fine! I honestly didn't think it would run that well on the Pandora. Perhaps my hopes of having Arcade MK II in my pocket isn't a total pipe dream. Cause let's face it, the console versions never did the game justice.
I'm sure the Pandora was running with at least 500MHz. It's not that hard to play MK with 500MHz. ;) It's better to use a Emulator that needs not so much Power like MAME does. Mortal Kombat is also available for Megadrive and I know that Picodrive is a very fast emulator.
You also could try the PC Version of MK 1, I still have it (trashed a good Gravis gamepad with this Game ages Ago :D ) but I know we wouldn't be happy with DOSBOX emulating PC-Mortal Kombat. :lol:

Oh dear lord, I hope it does eventually run full speed. I would give my left lung.

Didn't Hydro Thunder come out on the N64 too... that's another potential possibility...

PSX as well, so it can be played on day one. It's probably not as good as the arcade version though. Looks like that game is around Cruisin' USA era, so it might be a bit much for MAME on Pandora.
 
I thought they already had the first 100 units, actually going from what they said before they should have had them 2 weeks ago...
 
I wish he would be more selective in his wording. Units implies complete systems, which we all know at this point to be impossible. I'm sure, before anyone starts speculating, that he means production boards. Unless by units he means Morphine, or some other intravenously administered drug.

Well, he said before that he had hogvirus, right? ;)
