    Pics From Mweston: Silk Screen Design

    I can see when the forum flamewars start, people use "Stfu I have my Pandora from the FIRST BATCH (means, I am correct)". :D

    Archlinux On Pandora?

    If I ever get my Pandora, I'll definitely run Arch on it. (Yes, already running Arch on this laptop. ;o)

    Python/pygame Vs G++

    Its the small things which add up as a whole. Simple 2D tilemap rendering isn't a big deal, easily implemented and runs flawlessly. Enough for most people. The problem arises when one wants to add more logic. Yes, you can write it in C, but that quite much defeats the purpose of using Python...

    Python/pygame Vs G++

    I'll elaborate for the people with less knowledge; First that above is a great example of provoking post, possibly intentional one. Someone was feeling bad/frustrated when writing it. Don't fall for them. That put aside; C/C++ are called low-level languages due to the fact that they lack many...

    Python/pygame Vs G++

    Got to love the ignorance. Few points: 1) C and C++ are different languages. Now go google the differences and understand them. 2) Python is awfully slow. You WILL NOT be wanting to write games with it. While you CAN make your regular 2D platform adventure with it, over time as you add...

    Just as expected. Hooray for 2010.

    2010 Year Of The Pandora

    I hope you understand that Pandora was supposed to be shipping by the end of 2008? "2009 will definitely be the year of Pandora", or how it was said? "By the end of Q1", that too. Wait, it's almost Q4 now. :rolleyes: I am personally surprised if they can ship ANYTHING by the end of Q2/2010...

    I Want To Compare The Pandora Video Card With A Pc Video Card

    Exophase, thanks for clearing things up. I'm quite sure that the hardware is capable of running pre-2002 games quite decently, at least when it comes to the graphics troughput. The real problem is the CPU.

    I Want To Compare The Pandora Video Card With A Pc Video Card

    Except that you would need the same hardware for both machines in comparison. Exactly the same CPU, same RAM chips(crucial with integrated GPUs), same software suite. Everything should be the same except the GPU. It wouldn't make much of a difference if one slapped dual Nvidia GTX 285's to...

    I Want To Compare The Pandora Video Card With A Pc Video Card

    It is practically IMPOSSIBLE to compare with PC hardware. First of all, SGX is built for mobile devices. Meaning that it focuses on the performance per watt instead of raw performance. The microarchitecture is very much different because of the reason mentioned above. There is no Direct X...

    Pandora''s 3d Graphics

    This is one of the threads I wish I had never opened. Few words: People get to know the hardware business. Get to know the old cards, their specs, their capabilities and features. Then you will understand that having anything like "GeForce 6 series" inside Pandora with Pandora's battery and...

    Pandora Easiest Way For A Vb.net / Blitzmax Dev To Get Into Pandora?

    How can language's syntax be the reason for not learning it - especially when the syntax is very neat? ;) ...even forces to indent... :love:

    Overheating Cpu

    All of the energy consumed by the CPU(and rest of the Pandora, for that matter) is released as HEAT. Remember that the energy does not disappear.
