I've recently been playing around with cdevtools and managed to get a couple of projects running via the Pandora but they are running really really slowly and I don't know why - here's a zip file of the parallax scrolling test:

Thanks for your help.

Well, loading and unloading your images every frame is going to be a massive burden. Also the Pandora's screen size is 800x480, not 800x600
 
Just wanted to update on this.

Managed to fix the problem, part of it was screen resolution (as mentioned) - which was solved by using a launch script (the one that has "export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=omapdss"), making sure that the correct bits per pixel is set and changing SDL_SWSURFACE to SDL_HWSURFACE.

The unloading and loading images every frame wasn't really an issue! :)

aka - noob error. Move along. Nothing to see here! :p
