I've ported my SpecBAS BASIC interpreter to it, and it's great fun. SpecBAS is based on Sinclair BASIC with the best bits of AMOS incorporated and being able to pratt around in BASIC on a lunch break is sublime, it really is. This little device never leaves my pocket, and with massive battery life it's always ready when I need it.

Well worth the money, imo.

Cool - might invest in one now! I ended up going for the PSP for homebrew - but emulation for Amiga on their is pretty slow/jerky at present but great for PS1 games/SNES/NES/Megadrive etc lol.

Excellent! You'll be pleased to hear that as of the latest firmware beta, Amiga emulation with UAE4All is broken beyond repair and there doesn't appear to be a fix in the works - hence I've been emulating an Atari ST and Megadrive.

Is there a reason why it doesn't work so a workaround can be devised?

gunni · 10 May 2012, 08:40

there is a workaround - booting with the old kernel

Quote:

Note with SuperZaxxon you can still hold [R] when switching on the Pandora and boot kernel 2.6 to use UAE4All (which you probably know already).

Still I'll try to adapt the code some time this month.

from http://boards.openpandora.org/index..../page__st__140

stainy · 10 May 2012, 21:43

yup! hold [R]

gunni · 12 May 2012, 16:28

Hooray! A new version of UAE4All has been uploaded to the repo! (works with the new kernel)

stainy · 13 May 2012, 00:11

pubzombie · 15 May 2012, 11:24

OMG OMG OMG
My Pandors turned up Friday!!!!!!
Bogged down with work just managed to get it set up with new FirmWare.

gunni · 15 May 2012, 13:55

excellent bifurcation, hurrican, and super geometry dust are getting a lot of play at the moment on my pandy

pubzombie · 16 May 2012, 00:20

Cheers gunni - just grabbed these. Hurrican is awesome. As usual Freedroid is a must too

Dunny · 16 May 2012, 02:36

Forget-Me-Not is (ahem) very much worth your time. Seriously.

pubzombie · 16 May 2012, 10:48

thanks Dunny
X-pired is great, nice little puzzle game; wasted a train journey or 2, disappointed when it ends

PandoraElite.pnd beta looks great, just booted it up, nice crisp colours and sound.

stainy · 17 May 2012, 00:03

The usual emulators of choice

SGD is great! not really dipped into the freeware games side as yet...

Trying to complete Roller Coaster ( Speccy ) atm

pubzombie · 22 May 2012, 12:01

Any advice on your fave games for each emu? Just setting up all the emus and finding myself stuck for choice.
anybody tried the PS1 versions of Resident Evil and Silent Hill yet on the new 512mb panny?

I reviewed the Pandora on Amiga Lore and made suggestions for some of the emulators.
