    Looking for a space game made by a member of the old forums

    Sorry this is such a vague request, but I am going mad trying to find a game that was in development for the Pandora waaay before they were actually released. I remember posting about it before the move to this forum, so it's hard to find info. You could play it on your PC, and the game grid...

    Program to test for faulty nubs?

    I've never been super satisfied with how my nubs work, and it'd be nice if there were some program to test nub functionality to make sure everything is sane with the firmware. To be more specific, my nubs do work... I can move the mouse around, click with them, etc. However, trying to use...

    UTF-8 in terminal

    I've been trying to use telnet with an application that uses UTF-8 and I can't seem to get it to display properly. I can't seem to find any settings in xfce terminal to change encoding... anyone have tips for enabling proper UTF-8 in a term?

    Using An Sd Card As Swap Space

    I was compiling on the Pandora and g++ kept crashing on one file... I finally figured out it was because I was running out of RAM! To remedy this, I found an old 256 meg SD card lying around and formatted it to be used as Linux swap space. This means it is an extension of the Pandora's...

    Best Video Transcoding Settings For Pandora

    Using Handbrake I just ripped a DVD and dumped it to a MKV container using H.264 for video (at 60% constant quality) and AC3 passthrough for audio. I left the size alone, so the output resolution is 720x480. Everything else is default. I tried playing this on my Pandora using MPlayer and it...

    Anyone Installed An Invisible Shield?

    Just got my invisible shield in from ZAGG (got it on the 50% off Memorial Day sale) and I'm a bit scared of the install. You're supposed to spray the protector with a water-based solution so it goes on better. I can understand this on a device that doesn't have a recessed touch screen, but the...

    Installing Os To Sd Card

    Booting the OS from an SD card has been mentioned a few times, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Is there a guide anywhere for this? As far as I can tell the flashing tool only lets you install the OS to NAND. It'd be great to be able to boot a separate install (say, for development) and...

    Pandora Code::blocks On The Pandora

    Download the PND: http://sinoth.net/pandora/codeblocks.pnd.gz Please note this DOES NOT come with a compiler. You will need to get your dev tools (gcc, etc) some other way, such as torpor's compile-on-Pandora method or Stuckie's development PND. C::B should be writing all its config to...

    My Pandora Review

    I dig it. Here are some good shots I thought other reviews lacked -- Best shot I could get of the screw holding the back of the case together: http://i.imgur.com/Q73NK.jpg Tried to take a photo of the inside of the headphone jack but this is as close as I could get...

    Can't Get Nub To Cooperate

    I understand that you have to calibrate the nubs on bootup, and I do... up, center, down, center, left, center, right center... and for a while the mouse seems to do okay. But after some time it always gets worse, and I can't go down, or some other random direction. I really notice it when I...

    Pandoras Shipping To The Wrong Address

    Just giving you guys a heads up that if you've ever had to switch your address with the OP team, there is a very good chance it will go to the wrong address. I've moved twice in two years, and confirmed my change both times with OP -- got a response both times. However, my Pandora was shipped...

    Unique Serial On Each Unit?

    I apologize for my noobness, but I've been wondering about this lately. Commercial handhelds such as the DS and PSP have unique serial numbers that can be accessed through software... will the Pandora have something similar? Does the GP2X? I ask because it seems like a decent form of online...

    Which Sound Library To Use?

    Heya all, I'm putting together a framework for game programming on Pandora. So far I'm using C++ with OpenGL, with the glfw library taking care of initialization and input. In the past I've used fmod for sound, but I'm not sure that will be easily portable. Does anyone have any other...
