    Amiga Fans?how Many People Own Amiga.pandora Emulation Will Be Cool.

    I used to love my A1200. I had just got to the point where I'd learned 68k assembly and some of the techniques to make intros and demos. Then it was lost in a house fire. Off-site backups were never in my mind, at the time. I've always played around with WinUAE and gone some way to set it up...

    Can It Run Xp?

    It's been noted that it cannot and will not run a Windows OS in any usable sense. If you want a Windows OS on a small, cheap , portable device you need to buy a proper netbook with an Intel Atom CPU. You will be able to do much the same with such a netbook as you can with a Pandora, as far as...

    [poll] Are You Windows User Or Linux User ?

    Win 7 beta on my laptop and desktop at home. XP at work. I run Ubuntu server under VMWare on desktop as a LAMP dev machine. I occasionally use Ubuntu desktop under VMWare on my desktop machine through RDP from my laptop. Hardly the snappiest way of interacting with an OS but whenever I get the...

    So Proper Video Out Is Hard To Implement On Pandora, Huh?

    So Proper Video Out Is Hard To Implement On Pandora, Huh?

    S-Video (and composite) are, as Monk says, equivalent to 480i. If you're planning on using a Pandora as a video player for a 45" display, you're a little bit mad. Quality will be about as good as old-fashioned broadcast TV. Quality of S-Video on your big LCD TV will depend largely on the TV's...

    The Mighty Oldschool Ti83

    Productivity... as in how long it takes to actually code anything using C++ compared to higher-level languages. It's not just the act of writing the code, but debugging can take longer with C++ due to it being so low level. Some debugging might have you dropping down into machine code...

    Boot Time

    I'm going to guess that there will likely be quite a number of kernel/os updates for Pandora in the first few months after release, whilst things settle down. Boot times are something that anti-pandorites will cite as an issue but those actually using it will just get used to. Reliability and...

    Anyone Else Here Losing Interest?

    My interest peaked in November 2008, dropped again thereafter when it became clear that the project was horribly behind schedule (even without the credit card fiasco), started to peak when the videos of working devboards were released... But... after seeing the latest video of a case being put...
