    Software [Solved] Pandafe does not launch ROMs anymore after I updated my Emulator and/or after I used the SD card on a Mac ( root cause)

    Btw, a funny to read veteran developer story behind the ".DS_Store" files that the Finder creates: … The same seems to be true for "._" AppleDouble files, still in 2023. While I had pandafe's appdata on the SD card open in my Mac Finder and inspected/hacked some of its config/cache files, I...

Screen and LED completely off. Stopped charging. Measured battery voltage. Again 2.53V. Battery voltage...

    OpenPandora (type 1002) doesn't turn on anymore - What to check? How to repair?

    @PowerGod Glad that my UX contributions to the project are still remembered in the community! Thanks for the compliments! Warms my heart. Yes indeed a bit sad to have a hardware failure. Especially without any outside impact I'm aware of. @all When the Pandora was introduced, AFAIR it was...

    How to run Die Siedler II (The Settlers) ROM from Archive.org in DosBox EX Ultimate?

    Had gotten a bit further. S2.exe was indeed the correct executable but this one failed too. Eventually gave up on getting this running on the Pandora. Instead installed https://www.siedler25.org on a laptop. Nice trackpad two finger gesture support for smoothly zooming in/out. No campaign. But...

    How to run Die Siedler II (The Settlers) ROM from Archive.org in DosBox EX Ultimate?

    Getting closer to the solution I think. I simply recorded the web app. Then looked at the recording, particular the command line parameters! Dosbox starts with a special configuration line: Z:\>SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 And then launches not START.BAT but rather S2.EXE (which I guess is a...

    How to run Die Siedler II (The Settlers) ROM from Archive.org in DosBox EX Ultimate?

    The Archive.org Software Library for MS-DOS Games offers Die Siedler II. You can play it right in the web browser. Worked just fine on a contemporary Desktop. This runs Dosbox as a WebAssembly app. Also offers a ZIP archive download. Contains no ISO image of the CD. But seems to be the entirety...

    Loading ROMs from a NAS to an emulator running on a Pandora. Is it possible?

    Is this practically possible? Has someone already done it? If so: With what emulators? With which network equipment (Pandora, network devices, NAS device)? Benefits I have in mind: 1) Organize only once centrally and benefit from this on multiple devices. (Multiple Pandoras, or also different...
