What are you using your pandora for?

[ExquisiteCorpse]

Yes yes snes, psx and N64 and older consoles obviously. 

But what are you using that might not be so popular?

I used my previous one for a ton of ScummVM and now I'm awaiting my new one to arrive I plan to use Baldurs Gate and Command and conquer. 

Any other rare pnd's or custom compiles that people are using that the majority might not be using.

I usually work at home these days (so not commuting as much as I used to); commuting is where mobiles really shine imho .. for me, if I'm home, I'm either working or on home PC or rolling around with kids

But out and about, Pandora serves me as mp3 player (64GB storage on ym two SD cards) with Audacious, and general linux terminal; I don't have much free time anymore (sigh), so I generally use it doing experiments and coding, or a little gaming here or there..

Just now, I've got a dieing laptop at work; a fair pile of data has to be evacuated from it, and other external drives aren't suitable or available, and network is too slow to dump 60GB of stuff on right now .. so, Mass Storage mode on the pandora and dumping 60GB of crap onto it, in a pinch

Entertainment

Audacious Music Player (and I have almost 2,000 songs on my dedicated Media SD Card in Slot 2)

VLC/SMPlayer2 - haven't decided which I want to use yet for videos, whichever I can make work with my TV-Out Cable...yes I have one.

And that is most of it, there are a few other things in there that I'm using and didn't mention, for example, PanDafe...which just puts several emulators accessible from one icon.

So I am getting a lot of use and versatility out of my Pandy...and I'm not even using Android, DOSBOX, or any other alternate OS, like QEmu.

Oh, and I am about to add EasyRPG, because I have a couple of RPGM2K I like and would like to play on Pandora!  and another game is being programmed for that by a friend of mine right now, I can help him beta-test it on my Pandy!

By the way, for all the use I am getting out of my Pandy...this is probably less than 10 percent of all it CAN do.

So if I hear one more person scream about the price....
