    Let''s Make Up Pandora Marketing Slogans!

    Hope is still in the box. Not really sure it's any good, even though it plays on the myth. ... ... Still terrible. I don't know what it implies.

    Let''s Make Up Pandora Marketing Slogans!

    Pandora, guaranteed to blow your mind or at least have you speaking in gibberish. Probably cause some other sorts of mental breakdown as well. On second thought, maybe the world is not yet ready for Pandora.

    Pandora''s Type Classification

    Before this thread gets killed for ambling off into rambling (only an observation that there isn't a certain cohesiveness to the discussion, not anybody's fault), I want to point out that this thread has only reaffirmed the difficulty in categorizing the Pandora. It would be really nice to stop...

    Pandora''s Type Classification

    I think I might start calling the Pandora the hobbyist's handheld (if nothing else it has alliterative qualities). I think it is important to not overlook that the Pandora represents more than just hardware. The software options and the community define it as much as anything else.

    Pandora''s Type Classification

    Apologies for my previous post, it was a bit hasty. However, after taking the time to look at previous discussions and articles, I am still wondering what sort of summary would be sent to potential reviewers? As near as I can see, the Pandora is a rebirth of the hobbyist computer and also...

    Pandora''s Type Classification

    Without a precise definition that has instant recognition, perhaps a catchy slogan could help raise awareness? For example, Pandora. A complete workout for your thumbs. Anytime. Anywhere. Open Pandora. Redefine freedom. Pandora. Your mobile gateway. Pandora. Life. Neither the...

    Pandora''s Type Classification

    Any chance that the Pandora is unique enough to be in a class by itself? Instead of bothering with other classifications, we could call it a Pandora class/type device. I suppose that does not really clear up the confusion when explaining it to someone else . . . (What is it? A Pandora. What...

    Dcemu Homebrew Article Mentions Pandora

    On reviewing my post, I apologize for any wording which may have made it sound anti-HLE and pro-LLE. Neither approach is inherently better than the other. I just wanted to try to clear up some misunderstanding of terms. If anyone wants further clarifcation of the difference, I could explain...

    Dcemu Homebrew Article Mentions Pandora

    To clear up HLE just a little bit for some of the less nuts and bolts savvy types, HLE is a legitmate approach but rests on the assumption that you know exactly what the program expects to happen. Even if you had the source code for the game, this can be impossible to determine. HLE has...

    I find it humorous to be "bike shedding" the bike shed.

    N64 Anyone?

    I must admit I have rather high expectations for playability as well. I would prefer to define it as providing the same experience as the original. I cannot recall any emulator where Paper Mario came close to a really enjoyable experience. So in my opinion I would not consider it to really be...

    N64 Anyone?

    I had been wondering if some of this might be better suited for the development forum. I have no lingering doubts as to the demand for N64 emulation. If you want something soon (sooner?), I would recommend finding a dev willing to port Daedalus, as I am not looking to do it ( I would prefer to...

    N64 Anyone?

    Thank you very much for your evaluation Exophase. I was hoping for this kind of response. You also suggested to me some of the terminology I was grasping to find, although unfortunately not quite in the same sense in which you used it. As we are talking about compilation, it makes perfect...

    N64 Anyone?

    Only the silent developer would know. I don't think the speculation causes any harm either, but I would rather an accurate picture to avoid disappointments. I like to be pleasantly surprised when the unexpected arrives out of nowhere, instead of slowly let down when the eagerly anticipated...

    N64 Anyone?

    I would agree with Chip here. The Pandora has the potential for N64 emulation, but it is very far from reaching it. I would be very pleased with the device for its UMPC nature, regardless of what games you could play on it. I wanted to make sure I wasn't being short-sighted in completely...

    N64 Anyone?

    For the sake of being thorough (what a strange looking word), how much of the original of any existing emulator would be left after porting? My thoughts are that no dynarec exists for R4300 or RSP to ARM/THUMB/NEON or C64x DSP, so a lot of intimate knowledge of instruction sets and processors...

    N64 Anyone?

    Just to be clear, I don't harbor any negative feelings about any N64 emulation projects (I see nothing to be gained from splitting into factions), but I would want it to aim at providing the best experience possible. This often requires many hours of painstaking efforts. I wish I had something...

    N64 Anyone?

    I know HLE isn't as bad as customizing for every single game, but my experience with HLE graphics leaves me wanting more from it. The render states (which are more variable than the choice of microcode) of the N64 are not exceptionally compatible with most other GPU designs, leaving a few...

    N64 Anyone?

    I know it will require alot of work and feel the estimate of 8-12 months, before enough things were working, was an accurate guess. I'm not against HLE, but think taking the time to figure out the hardware, instead of a specific game, will eventually win the race to supporting a library of...
