@Andermetal1 for scummvm and emulators, perfect, for Diablo, maybe PSX version, but not fullspeed . Anyway, Pandora is the best handheld i've ever seen
there's an option in the menu - System - CPU-Speed. You can go safely up to 820mhz. With an updated script that jdbye (from the forums) wrote, you can overvolt it and go up to 1 ghz. At 600 mhz you can run most of the apps with no performance problems. Now with N64 and PSX emus and heavier apps like Firefox, OpenOffice, debian extend, you should go up a bit.
@alerinofilho So no instability at 820mHz or 1gHz with the updated script? That's pretty cool. I'm gonna order one of these asap, I just need the time/money.
@retronuggetdev no instability. At stock voltage (OPP3), 820-880 mhz seems to be the maximum. OPP4 at 900mhz also runs great. Since it's an ARM processor, it will not melt, just reduce lifespan from like 10 to 5 years (in case you run it like that 24-7), which may not be the case :)
@alerinofilho Heh yeah I don't plan on skipping eating, sleeping, school, and the interwebs to play my Pandora however tempting it may be :). I've done Windows 95 in Dosbox before, but never on a Pandora. Did you just create a Windows 95 boot image/disk and load it using the IMGMOUNT and BOOT commands? Or something else?
@retronuggetdev i used bochs to create a specific DOS image, installed windows on it, imgmount and boot commands, but i have to admit, Win95 on Pandora is close to useless, i did it only for the sake of cross-platform purposes.
wow! windows runs on arm via x86 emlator! fantastic!

Cool! I'm thinking of purchasing a Pandora. I have a few questions-
1)How did you overclock it?
2)How well does it run in 600mHz?
Thanks.

@alerinofilho Ah. Yep that's what I did too, for DOSBox for Mac OS X. I'll probably just be able to use the same image.
