Just imagine if pandora could have rumble?
I using RumblePack with DS, and it fine for me...
Is it possible to make feedback?

Is there really space enough for a decent vibrator for a device of Pandora's size?

I meah software) I don't know how is joy connected inside...Is it a joy 4 OS, or just an additional buttons?
If it buttons adding feedback will be a nightmare...but if it a joy everything will be much better)

Let me explain:
Every joy will use feedback only with drivers - because feedback need a microchip, so if you have a joy you need just find drivers and plug microchip in your pandora - it will work!
But if it buttons - there is NO WAY to do it with open source driver! (And you joy vibrates when you play from the keyboard?) it mean you have to mess up with hardware a lot, and much with soft(

Usb rumble will do nothing, imagine vibrating stick inside USB - it will just unplug itself...Internal USB mod is my idea, I think try it with my Pandy

Someone could try hooking up a rumble pack from the GBA via USB adapter and seeing where that goes.
 
can't be that big or expensive, they have them in every cell phone made in the past 10 years I'm guessing.

found one... 5 bucks... tiny little motor

are you wanting it to actually hurt you when it goes off? You look at the other ones they got?

I wonder if that will fit inside the stylus well? Get one of them retractable stylus's to fit in on top of it so it doesn't look so ghetto, might look like a pretty clean hack.

Sure it will...It have to! :3
Anyway I seriosly thinking about rumble mod 4 my Pandora, and Pandora devs should try to do it in the second batch...I don't think it will be hard to do)

Hm. The rumble idea has been discussed and rejected, for two reasons. 1) Battery life - It takes a lot of energy to physically move things around. 2) Durability. Shaking the PCB around is not the best way to avoid breaking stuff.

Rumble bad idea. Don't.
 
And speaking of battery and vibration... During an assembly video, the battery was installed simply by plopping it into the back of the Pandora, with no clicking connector. What would happen if the Pandora were to be shaken (such as when playing more frantically)? Could the weight and flexibility of the battery cause it to momentarily disconnect?
 
I think that if that were a problem we'd have heard a complaint about it from one of the few people with Pandy's.
 
The Pandora has a battery cover to keep the battery in. My PSP-2000's battery contacts are similarly clickless and have never disconnected by mistake, even during the most frantic button pressing.
