Yes, no, I, this is.
Way back when (in the days of old when Chip was an active member of the Pandora forums), there was a massive "Port Requests" thread. This was the catch-all thread for people wondering about compatibility, whether someone would port some application or another, etc. I'm making this thread as a new "Port Requests" thread, as the impending mass-production and delivery (and new publicity) has brought about a slew of new members who want to make sure their favorite game or program will work on the Pandora.
That aside, here's the old thread. To new members: do not post in that thread! If you've got a question about a port or compatibility issue, search that thread to make sure it hasn't been asked already. You can search a thread by scrolling down to the bottom and using the "Search Topic:" box. If it hasn't been asked before, feel free to ask it here. (If there is new work being done on the project you're asking about, the compatibility with the Pandora may have changed, so feel free to ask it again.)
This should cut down on the number of port request threads flooding General talk, should provide a good place for new members to ask their burning questions, and should cut down on much of the new member/old member tensions.
Go!
Results:
Emulators - Depends - Check here. It's not the most up-to-date, but it's a good starting point. Anything newer than N64/PSX/DC (in terms of consoles) is a guaranteed no. DS/PSP are possible. Saturn is unlikely.
(yes, there's more coming. i've got class)
P.S.: Mods, you might want to preemptively lock the old port request thread before someone grave-digs it.
EDIT: Before anyone asks this: Yes, I do know that it is linked to in the information index, but new members obviously don't read it, and, as we all know (and remind newbies constantly), it's better to make a new thread linking to the old one than grave-dig the old one. Having a port requests topic actively on the front page is, IMO, a good thing.
