Brand new to the boards and considering buying up this wonderful, little handheld. I don't know a whole lot about the Pandora, but if I were to install Ubuntu on it, would I be able to download and install my Humbe Indie Bundle (not Humble Bumble, btw) games on to it? Or if I were to leave the native Linux OS on the Pandora, would these packages work?
No, the packages are built for an x86 CPU as found in your standard desktop. The Pandora contains an ARM CPU. Different set of machine instructions. We'd have to get the source code and recompile it to run on the Pandora. This often (but not always) requires some additional changes.
There's this sweet dungeon crawler which looks like new age retro fun but *sigh* it's only for Windows and x86. Would we ever see MegaGlest (Glest fork)?
