    Custom Desktop Resolution

    I did a bunch of searches, checked the Wiki, and tried modifying xorg.conf myself, to no avail. Lots of talk about wanting higher resolution, but I would like to run a desktop resolution lower than 800x480 (specifically, 720x480). Any way this can be done on a stock image?

    Pandora Classic (US)

    Hello everyone. I am selling my CC Pandora and accessories on eBay. All details and pictures are in the listing. This is a first batch unit with a refurbished pcb and new case, but they occupy the same space. Since I personally have the 1GHz version and this was collecting dust, I decided to...

    Pocketable or Comfortable

    I don't see how to win both ways on this, but perhaps I am missing something. Smartphones are pocketable but obviously uncomfortable for typing and gaming. Add on an iCP or Moga and now you've got comfort but you've lost pocketability. nVidia Shield isn't pocketable at all but looks very...

    DOSBox FE will not start [Fixed]

    Here's the pndrun .out: I tried adding a blank runbase.sh to appdata since I already have the default directories, and I get a permissions error. Paging Pickle/mcobit... EDIT: Sorry about this, turns out my .pnd's were corrupt. How? I don't know exactly...

    Kami Retro will not start [Fixed]

    Here's the pndrun .out: Seems like this or the last firmware update (1.53) caused the breakage. Segfault error, paging Steven Craft... EDIT: Sorry about this, my .pnd's were corrupt. How? I don't know exactly...

    It seems the newer screens are less efficient :/

    Something I'd wondered when I first received my 1 GHz was whether the newer screen used less power than the older one since the screen itself was darker. Today I had the opportunity to test after swapping the screens between the CircuitCo (CC) and 1 GHz Rebirth Pandoras. This is admittedly a...

    PDP Versus Controller (w/ microswitches)

    Inspired by Ashens' recent retro joystick review, I went on a search for a modern controller with microswitches since I haven't ever owned one but always loved the response of arcade sticks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GbQajuuX6mM?feature=oembed Found a good one made by PDP, actually they're...

    Bulk rename and case sensitivity

    Can't lower or upper case anything using this utility exposed in SuperZaxxon, in fact "mv Test.TXT text.txt" in the terminal fails, stating that file already exists... why?

    Review with Praise

    First off, I'm not going to give too in-depth of a review as the 1 GHz are almost identical to the standard models, and I've voiced my opinion more than enough on what I like and don't like. I want to give some praises. The Open Pandora team put some hard work into making improvements, and for...

    Hubs not working in 3.2 kernel, Super Zaxxon 1.51

    I have two hubs, tested and working under other machines and in the old 2.6 kernel but not in the latest 3.2 kernel. I plug in the hub, it shows up in dmesg, then I plug in any device (mouse, keyboard, flash drive, etc.) and I get the USB disconnect crash issue that happens when you plug a...

    Potential distributor?

    I did get a constructive thought from arguing with Overgauss in another thread. Would you consider contacting a distributor like Frys Electronics here in the United States? They have like 30-some locations, largely in California but in other states as well. You could see if they'd buy and...

    TV-Out Blurry

    First off, this is not a high priority support request. Just wondering if anyone has a good technique for getting a nice crisp output with the TV-out composite cable (or S-video, I would imagine the same tweaks would apply). The picture is blurred for me. I have a Sanyo flat panel...

    In reply to: Get a hobby

    I have hobbies, forum posting is one of them. :) I don't find that thread awkward, probably because I participated in it. But the gist of it as I see it and you might agree that one person is going through heated arguments about Pandora 2 storage configurations with other active forum...

    Reply in a New Topic option?

    A lot of negative reactions have developed regarding forum babble and debate. Of course I was involved in some of said babble/debate myself, which is what has brought me about to this idea. Some of the criticisms involved personal attacks and endless arguments. Some involved the off-topicness...

    Seriously Rethinking the Design (smaller size)

    Since it has been decided that the Pandora 2 must be smaller, we must make cuts wherever possible with features that are not absolutely necessary. This will require a sincere redesign of the original model, not to the point of unfamiliarity but certainly enough for our 2nd iteration to be...

    Soldering

    I was thinking of soldering on a new internal microphone and, if I can, power plugin. I broke off the mic when taking apart my Pandy, and the power loses connection periodically. I believe the inside of the power jack is loose and unreliable from general usage; I can use it if I get the angle...

    How-To: Put on the battery cover without snapping the tabs

    Here's a common issue that I haven't seen resolution for yet. Treat thy battery cover not like a lid: but a tray: Remove the battery in the opposite way. So put the battery in the cover first, then put the two in the Pandora together. This prevents the lever action caused by using...

    Running HF5, wireless connection to router (iwconfig set to 54M power off), gmail account that has been tested and working prior to today but today I cannot connect. Restarted, turned on wifi, launched Pidgin, no change. Suggestions?
