    So... what's up after all these years?

    Hello, I was a little bit active in these forums 8-9 years ago and left when the Pyra was slowly taking form. Maybe once a year I quickly checked the news subforum but that was about it. I'm just wondering what's the current status. It seems the Pyra is still in pre-order but some have received...

    Goals for Pyra Pre Orders

    Well thank you gentlemen. I was really sure I'd heard it on multiple occasions but after your replies I did a quick forum search and couldn't find anything supporting this. Seems I was mistaken.

    Goals for Pyra Pre Orders

    Been away from the forums for a while. Last time I checked, ED said on multiple occasions he would never take preorders for the Pyra. That it would only be buyable when it is in stock (to be sure the Pandora preorder fiasco had no chance to happen again). I'm not saying that as a reproach, I'm...

    More Pandoras soon at the shop!

    Would a "new" classic (if they're available in stock again) have the faulty LCD cable issue? Also, how good of a buy is it at this point? I'm not meaning compared to the upcoming Pyra but more, apart from the obvious emulators (PSP), is it powerful enough to run the latest apps coming out on...

    A possible PND-system replacement

    Just wanted to say good job slaeshjag. I really like your proposal. I'm looking at the code and might contribute.

    So I Finally Took Time to Make a Game (Sebt3)

    Isn't this similar to what Microsoft pushed for with his COM model in the 90s?

    So I Finally Took Time to Make a Game (Sebt3)

    Wow, it started a real debate. What I personally meant by saying "going the C way" wasn't really about language features but more about the programming paradigm (procedural vs object-oriented) and the facilities offered by the language's ecosystem. As Sebt3 was saying, making the game engine...

    Phone software?

    Well you can make a really good living here in Quebec learning COBOL, as a lot of the old crap running on the government's old servers use it. Since no one wants to even touch it, decent COBOL programmers are sadly still sought out.

    I just realized that a Pandora/pyra costs as much as a decent Linux laptop ( no troll)

    I think this is really simple. Arctic, as you've said you don't have your own computer. For 500$ go grab an all-purpose laptop/ultrabook/whatever machine that fits your need. It'll be more convenient/practical for general computer use. BUT... since you want to compare: The Pandora/Pyra have...

    Do we have an issue tracker?

    I like Mantis which is pretty full featured and less complex than bugzilla. Setup is pretty easy on Debian.

    So I Finally Took Time to Make a Game (Sebt3)

    Oh, I would say mostly for nostalgic and stylistic considerations. As you say it is easy to over-engineer with an OO language and with pure C it takes part of the temptation away. Kinda wish to see also how the game/engine would evolve if I was not thinking in the term of objects and using the...

    So I Finally Took Time to Make a Game (Sebt3)

    So now that you're done. How do you reflect on your choice of going back to C instead of C++? Interested because I work on a C++ engine with a friend and sometimes wished that we'd gone the C way. If you gift me a Pandora I absolutely swear that I'll give your game at least 7 playthroughs ;)...

    Bringing the case and PCB together

    I've been searching for a snes/retro gaming music album. Any one you'd recommend?

    Bringing the case and PCB together

    Yes and there is no letter "I" (i).

    Selling Open Pandora Classic, near mint condition

    Too bad you're not shipping to Canada. Could have been interested in the No Accessory one.

    What will Pyra replace for you?

    The day I have a 600$ electronic device just for reading when taking a dump. I'll consider myself a rich man ;)

    What will Pyra replace for you?

    It'll probably replace my aging laptop and some of my gaming consoles. Won't be replacing my desktop computer as, contrary to my own initial belief, even laptops cannot do that. The big screen and ergonomics just cannot be beaten (and the price also, desktop PC parts are surprisingly cheap...

    Are Pandoras still being made? I might want one in the fall/ end of summer

    I think the current estimates are Q2-Q3 2015 for the Pyra.

    6 face buttons necessary?

    Can't find the link with ED's proposed layout. Could someone point me to it please?
