    Pyra why ?

    Yeah, I guess you guys have a point. We don't have to justify our decision to anybody. I wouldn't persuade anybody into buying the Pyra, because I think it is an expensive device with an outdated processor. But I don't regret my order (even though I don't have my Pyra yet). It's nice to have a...

    Where are we now?

    In earlier versions, the logo was a metal plate. But it's not anymore. I guess the prototype you are talking about still had the old metal version. Now the logo is a thick plastic sticker instead.

    Streets of Rage 4 ... IS HERE !!

    I have to admit, that the song by Kawashima has more SoR DNA, but I hope for further stuff like "Next of Kin Showdown" by "Das Mörtal". The song sounds great.

    You didn't expect this, I guess.

    About the chrome coating I have a similar fear like levi: The coating is better than paint, but doesn't it still wear off over time? Are the designs/content of the manual finished? I doubt it. Sadly, I think they have to cancel it at some point.

    I'll just put this awesome URL here :)

    Doesn't look like a real emulated Windows to me. It just has a similar look and feel. Since I grew up with Winamp, I think this site is awesome: https://webamp.org/

    Pyra news partially stale from the dragon's mouth

    I guess Sweden has at least the right to bypass copy protection for a private copy of discs. So you could rip Blu-Rays, convert them to 720p MKV, put them on a SD card and watch them e. g. with Kodi. Of course streaming is more common right now and many of you don't own discs anymore. My disc...

    Streets of Rage 4 ... IS HERE !!

    I always hoped for a 3D game that is more like Fighting Force, but with the cool look and feel of Streets of Rage. But I also warm up to this 2D game with comic graphics. If the music will be a mix between the old SOR stuff and some New Retro Wave songs, I'm totally on board. The enemies look...

    So, what's the current status of everything?

    It's more handy to say "the 80s" (which always is 1980 to 1989) than saying "the 9th decade of the 20th century" (which is 1981 to 1990)... so at least for decades I continue to start counting at 0.

    Gamescom 2019

    Here you can see a short glimpse of the booth: But the moderator only talks about the NES pad, not about the Pyra.

    Even more to see here (now)

    Since there seems to be no dedicated gamescom thread yet, I ask here: will it be possible to buy Pyra merchandise (coffee mug!) at gamescom?

    SD Card Organisation options?

    For the labeling: Some shops offer custom designs printed on the SD card, but most of them demand ordering a minimum amount of cards with the same design: https://www.customusb.com/sd-secure-digital-memory-card/ https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/custom-logo-micro-sd-card.html So this doesn't...

    Even more to see here (now)

    Sadly that's the case for almost all modern devices... either MicroSD or no SD card slot at all. And I guess because of that we don't get cheap fully sized SD cards with a lot of storage capacity.

    You posted this saturday? Creepily prophetic.

    World News Thread (Politics,whatever)

    There seems to be some confusion, because, before the press conference happened, the media was speculating which black hole was photographed. "Virgo" is a group of galaxies. "M87" is one of the galaxies in "Virgo". But "Virgo" is not inside our galaxy. Inside our galaxy is also a black hole...

    Those advertisments show male and female models, so it is not really discriminating one of the sexes. Which means it is not sexism. Very often it seems to me that critics of stuff like this confuse sexism with oversexualisation. BTW, I hope you had a nice and safe bicycle tour.

    CG Art Image Thread

    Looking at your screenshot you seem to have a dark theme for the board. It seems to change the background color and also the text color. Normally you can change the text color with the 4th button in the editor box (underlined "A"). Or you use the very last button to use BB code (thats what I...

    Preparing for the countdown...

    I never used a real game engine, but I think the Godot Engine could be the best choice to write ambitious games for Pyra. As far as I know it is already ported to the Pandora. Edit: Just saw, that there is some trouble with the latest version, but version 3.1 could work again (...

    Preparing for the countdown...

    The anticipation for the Pyra boosted my desire to create games. I learned a little bit SDL2 and made with "Slay The Dragons" a first small 2D game, that will hopefully run on the Pyra. At some point I also want to learn some 3D art/programming. But my progress on that matter is very slow.

    CG Art Image Thread

    Played around with the possibilities of BB code to generate coloured ASCII art (without images). But the board generates gaps. Nevertheless ASCII art will always be fun. Reminds me of the good old QuickBasic days, when I made my first steps in programming...
