    Even more to see here (now)

    I don't mind the grey color. Can we get some light and dark purple accent buttons to go with it ;)

    Used-to-work GP32 BLU will not turn on. What to do?

    They look just like flat packs. anyone with a decent reflow station (temperature controlled hot air) should be able to swap one out without too much trouble. That being said, CPUs rarely go out. I would think its most likely something else. Maybe filtering in the power supply circuit? CPUs are...

    GP32 FLU needs rewiring (and maybe more)

    so you might just have a non front lit unit now. the flus are known for burning out the front light. Someone may have taken the wires off because it was burnt out. For sure give it a test, just know it might not be your fault if doesnt work in the end. If I knew that when I bought mine I...

    Getting closer...

    While I don't see an upgrade CPU board next year, I do think the next iteration will be faster to design. We had some growing pains but now know how crucial simulation is to make sure our board stays in spec. Building this way will save money and time in the long run.

    Pyra dev?

    There are no security devices in place to limit where you develop from. You can develop for the pandora from anything you like, you just have to setup the compiler properly. If you want to build from a windows desktop x86 machine you need to set up the environment to allow you to cross compile...

    Upgrading Pandoras with an CPU Upgrade?

    That would be weird. I hope not. I am pretty sure the license is for non commercial, unless you get permission from ED. I guess that never stopped china before though. I think the cost vs return of the pandora is too high for a chinese company to pick up and mass produce anyway. There may be...

    Upgrading Pandoras with an CPU Upgrade?

    The board files and BOM are completely open now. Anyone could do a run of they wanted. Community manufactured Pandora?

    Upgrading Pandoras with an CPU Upgrade?

    link So there was a new motherboard revisions, but it was the same board for Rebirth and and 1Ghz. This means they should be replaceable. Besides swapping the CPU/Memory BGA pop packages, I would check the BOM for each to make sure there are no other changes such as resistors, capacitors, any...

    Important color changes

    excited to see those color changes!! Honestly I do not even care about the case color. I just want the ultimate linux handheld gaming device. Appreciate all the hardwork from the pyra team! Merry Christmas everyone.

    Upgrading Pandoras with an CPU Upgrade?

    Was there a board revision before the GHz chips where used? I thought there was. If so you might have to see which board you have to make sure it's compatible.

    Trying to fix broken laptop keyboard... any suggestions?

    @xnopasaranx I use Linux, Windows, and osx pretty much daily. The only major os I don't work with often if Unix. (Guess that's a lie because I use osx...) I never said throw the laptop away and I never said I just buy new things whenever there is a problem. I try to fix as many things as I...

    Trying to fix broken laptop keyboard... any suggestions?

    I work for an IT company and everyone here is correct. Just buy a new one. They break for a number of reasons and its cheaper to just get a replacement. Many times they are just not repairable in the end anyway.

    Rest up ED. Gotta take care of yourself. Your the man

    Understanding the lurkers

    Had to figure out how many months I've been registered to determine that one. I am a lurker(was my guess but wanted to be sure) Jumped over with everyone from the gp32 forums. I don't post much due to my lack of having anything worthwhile to add. I'm am a fanatic if these handheld devices. Gp32...
