And i have millions of question but let me ask these :
1. If i'm no dev can i easily use the Pandora? I don't like to set up things. I just want to play
2. Is there music program where i can do my own electro/techno music?
And it seems that the Community is full of Fans of Old games and system/consoles i never heard or played.
Is there a place for 1996 Kid which first console was the N64. My Brother had a SNES but it doesn't count, 'cause i was a Baby.
I don't want to sound rude but the price is the biggest Problem here. The 3DS and the Vita are a lot cheaper.
Thanks and thanks
Heh. This is a many-times-asked quastion
Is it worth it? Yes, if the pandora is what you want, then it is worth it. This might be obvious, but it is easy to overlook:
* The Pandora is more than a 3DS or a Vita
- It is a small computer, with a full keyboard and a full linux distro. That means you have access to all the computery stuff - Office programs, PDF readers, music and video players, webb browsers...
- It is open, in almost all senses of the word. Do you want to run another OS? Do so (there are several to choose from). Do you want to install apps from anywhere? Go ahead - Nobody decides what you can and cannot put on the machine. Do you want to write your own programs? Go ahead - use any of a multitude of tools and languages.
- This is a special case of the above: This machine can successfully emulate most anything up to PS1/N64 level, just abouts (the N64 is on the edge). This means not only the obvious stuff - NES and Genesis and so on - but also the rather obscure. Wanna revive the memories of your uncles BBC model B? The hp 48gx calculator? Run the original "ZORK" on a 70s-era CP/M system? Well, go ahead. Not only do you not have to wrestle to get the emulators onto the machine, but once they are there, all the necessary stuff - Keyboard keys, mouse input, touch screen - is there.
- It is weird. Nobody around you will have the same thing
* The Pandora is less than a 3DS or a Vita:
- A 3DS or Vita is a modern gaming machine, with a lot of horsepower where it counts, gamingwise. There are some very nice games in the Pandora library, but it is after all a design that was begun in 2008. It has been updated a bit since then, but it cannot reasonably be expected to have the same oomph.
- If a game on the Pandora is made by a big team, then there might be three or even (gasp!) four people that are working on it, in their spare time. A big-name game on a Vita or 3DS has hundreds of people working fulltime for months on it. Even if we count the likes of Exophase, Notaz, or any other of our very capable devs as being worth ten normal salarycoders

, there is still a vast difference in available manpower.
- It is weird. Nobody around you will have the same thing
(these lists could of course be a lot longer. It's late, OK?

)
So: If the things on the top list makes you go "YES, that is what I want!", then there really isn't much around that hits the same spot. Then, it is worth it. If the things on the second list makes you go "Butbutbut...I can't live with that?", then it most certainly isn't. As for the price thing: The reason the likes of Nintendo or Sony can sell their stuff at the prices they do, is because they pull in their profits not only from the sold consoles, but also from a percentage on the games sold for the consoles. They can afford to even sell the hardware at a loss, since they know that every buyer will eventually buy games or downloads or whatever that will make up for it. And, of course, they are big enough to make sure that that hardware in itself is as cheap as possible, since they're making them in such massive numbers. It's just like buying loo paper - Buying an 18-roll family pack might end up at, like, half the price per roll compared to buying a single. Except here we're talking about electronic components. Eh. Yes. Did I mention it is late?
As for the specific questions:
Yes, you can use it even if you're no developer. Installing a program is as easy as copying that program bundle (a pnd, in pandoraspeak) to an SD card, or even running a program like PNDmanager directly on your pandora to search for and download whatever you want to use (check out
http://repo.openpandora.org/ for what's available). The program will automatically appear in your menus or on your desktop (or in the proper tabs, if you're running the minimenu launcher that hides away all the computery stuff). If you want to tinker, you can tinker to your hearts content, but if you don't want to, you don't have to.
This doesn't mean it is as seamless an experience as using a 3DS or Vita - this also falls under the limitations of how many thousands of developer hours one has to dedicate on UI and standardisation measures - but I can guarantee you that we have members on these boards with far less in the way of computer savvy than you have, who still manage to use their pandoras
Are there programs for making electro/techno? Well, I'm no expert (sadly), but these might be interesting:
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=synthv1
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=lmms
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=SunVox
...and there are more which might be useful, depending on what you want to do.
Is there room for a N64 kid?

Well, yes, certainly! And even though the N64 emulation struggles a bit, still, the Playstation emulator (from the same console generation)is more or less flawless, so you can be as nostalgic as you want

On the other hand, you could see this as a massive opportunity - Look, there are all these famous games that I never have played, since I was too young. Now I can!!!

I know I have done that, a lot. Going through something like Racketboys lists of "the hidden gems on the Genesis" or whatever, and trying out all these amazing weird things you never knew even existed...
Anyways, where was I? Is it worth it? Yes, if this is the sort of thing you want, then it most certainly is.
