Wondering If:

[1magus]

I'm sure there have been posts like this but could the Pandora run the following:
Bochs
I mean somebody was able to get the PSP to use this so I would think a open source machine could run it.

That's a x86 emulator right? Could that install windows on pandora and run x86 aplications at decent speed? would be veeery nice, i think someone is working on that emulator, let me search... " DJWillis" ( its in the list of projects in pandorawiki )
Awesome

If you think DOSbox is slow, wait to see bochs performance

But what if I happen to like slide shows?

Be perfect for powerpoint

This is never going to be useful for playing games other than solitaire but I can see a potential use for this in running proprietary stuff like Spotify which would be nice to have on the go. Worth a look.

Strange that people aren't linking to things like this thread http://forum.openhandhelds.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1088&start=0 or this one http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/48726-qemuonarm/ or this one http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/49010-anyone-for-dosbox/page__view__findpost__p__747758 or this one http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/48534-windows-3-1x-on-pandora/

It's come up a lot recently. Bochs isn't happening, QEMU+Wine probably will.

 

[ldesnogu]

QEMU+Wine probably will.

I hope people aren't counting on me for that, I never promised to deliver on that...

Confirmed: Laurent has promised to get QEMU+WINE working.
At 100% efficiency.
Before the Pandora is released!
Because sleep is for the weak!

OR! You could just port one of a few opensource spotifyclients.
http://despotify.se/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtify/
C API:
http://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/overview/
(I'm not a developer but if someone thinks it's impossible/possible to get Spotify running on the Pandora, please let me know)

Windows and the x86-era has begun to end

Problem with spotify API is that it's only for x86 linux and you have to have premium

Yeah, it will be 100% efficient... when compared to an i386 @16 MHz
