ordered back in 2016

some pyras made it out then *poof* nothing
from my understanding the remaining ones just needed to be assembled or something like 2 years ago?

 

[spud42]

there was a first batch of 500. some didnt work. no idea of actual number sent out.
there has been ZERO news on when or even IF the second batch will ever be started.
im sad it has come to this but nothing seem to be happening hardware or software.
ED 's last post was 22 months ago.

Are the remaining parts working these days after sitting around so long? I thought they were being assembled in EDs office a long time ago.

I wish I knew what was going on too. Also pre-ordered in 2016.

As far as I was aware the biggest problem, other than assembling them (which was taking a long time) was getting any response from people to get them to commit to the final order.

But in the last couple of years I've heard nothing, and even if assembly is 5 per week, we should have had many more of them out by now...

Perhaps there has been something posted on Discord, but I stopped using that a year or two ago too (didn't really like using it all that much to begin with)

@EvilDragon Is there any morsel of brains news you can send us Pyra zombies please?

 

[spud42]

yes im not going to the discord, i dislike that system.
These forums and this site is the official Pyra website , if there is news it should be posted here , not on discord.
ED ha been on recently to presumably do admin things but he hasnt put an actual post up for 22 months. Even then the post was only to respond to someone that he could buy a cable from the dragonbox store. its a bit pathetic really.

Last Pyra related post I spotted on Discord:

 

[spud42]

fine, but that is not good enough. HERE is the official website and forums !

 

[jedi23]

I wonder myself. And as I already wrote, why making a device with the intention to make it as open source as possible while providing (the sparse) news and any kind of life signs only on a commercial platform?

As I see it, this project is a good as dead. I think he is pretty much hoping everyone forgets about it.

Pyra is undead. It's a zombie. It terrorises mortal souls. But it will be reborn.

Pyra isnt dead, its just a bit complicated: even in the early days after the first few Pyrae where shipped, there where still no good clamshell handheld around, and now i did abandon my Pyra as Pocket Emu Handheld for an Dual Screen Android Handheld..
I know the Pyra is more meant as an tiny Linux Device, and the Games where just an bonus, but i dont have an need for an Pocket Linux Device, so mine sits on the Desk ..

I wait for the next OS Iso, whit all these things fixed, maybe then i will use mine again ..
