    Pandora in the news: Crash Course Games Handhelds! :)

    They don't say very much about it, but it was pretty cool to see the Pandora, and the GP2X, in a Crash Course Games episode! :)

    gngeo on osx?

    Hi there,  Can I check if anyone has successfully compiled gngeo on osx? I'm seeing some compile errors in HEAD (some I can fix), and I get some linker errors with 0.8 . I'm guessing I'm need to pass some system or arch values to ./configure but I'm not too sure what to give it. I'm on osx...

    picodrive: questions on master system support

    Hi there,  I'm playing Penguin Land with my kids on master system with picodrive, and I have 2 minor problems. Just wanted to check if they are known issues, and if there are solutions: I can't find a way to pause? In Penguin Land, pausing the game allows you to scroll through the stage to...

    dpad right key dying

    Hi there, So after leaving my pandora aside for a couple of months (new toy in the way: galaxy s3), I picked it up again yesterday and was unhappily surprised to find the right button of the dpad nearly not working. I have to press it really hard (*consciously* hard) for it to work. In...

    bypassing emulator frontends

    Hi there, So I've been using my pandora for a while, and I've realized my usage pattern is typically to be engrossed in *one* game for days or weeks at a time. During that period, I seldom switch games, and I find that the frontends get in my way: I want to start that one game but I find...

    supaboy & co: looking nice

    Hey there, I just stumbled upon this pretty cool looking system: It's probably already known, but since a search in the forums for "supaboy" didn't yield anything, I thought I'd share: http://hyperkin.com/supaboy-portable-pocket-snes-console.html/ Although, I would probably not buy it (2.5...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Hi there, I managed to identify most of the games I used to play in my cpc6128 days by browsing various cpc archive and screenshot sites, but there are a few I cannot find again :( . These were clearly not the best of the platform, but I did spend significant amount of time on them. If...

    Hi there, Where could I find and install the 7zip command line utility for pandora ( http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ ) ? It does not look like it's in the angstrom repo: http://www.angstrom-.../?pkgsearch=zip :/ Thanks, Tim

    retro-games for the little ones?

    Hey! It was inevitable: between seeing me play stuff on the pandora, and on the TV sometimes, my 4 years olds want a piece of the action. Within strict timeslots and supervision, I'm actually happy to let them play some of the old arcade/console stuff. I guess I selfishly want to enjoy these...

    Arcade cabinet recommendations?

    Hey there, I've managed to convinced my boss that the office would be a much cooler place with a arcade cabinet in it. Especially one where we could play some funky retro-goodness. Now's the time to make a proposal to get the $$, and make it happen. I was initially only aware of X-Arcade...

    Argh! Right nub lost its head!

    Hi there, My pandora experienced a series of unfortunate events last week: 1) my cat knock it off my desk (~80cm fall!) (no damage, amazingly) 2) my co-worker dropped it when picking it up from my desk (~20cm fall) At the second incident, the head of the right nub fell off :( My...

    Overnight charging?

    Hi there, I charge my pandora every night, in sleep mode (pandora has to be turned on to charge). I've noticed that in the morning, the charging LED has turned off, and the sleep mode has started to drain some of the power. That means by the time I disconnect the pandora from the charging...

    Hey there, I was giving a shot to super mario 64 in mupen64. everything works great, but when I exit (pandora key), the nubs are not functioning as mouse in xfce any more. I've already rebooted, but that didn't help. If I launch mupen again, the nubs work there, like mupen reserved their...
