Pandora Basics - Running MAME on a Dev setup

[cccpkingu]

Use "ls" not "dir" for the narwhals, thanks.

[ENGLANDTHEGREATEST]

Id be quite concerned to the people that pre ordered this that the person running the show doesnt even have a tidy house, in fact it looks like a shit hole.

"doesnt even have a tidy house"

You've not met many hackers of hardware geeks then. It's pretty normal.

[JBWhiskey]

Wow! Wardner! That's freaking awesome game!

[slayergoury]

do not windows my pandora !!!!!

[marzsyndrome]

Just one question.......... why have the face buttons been repositioned? Like for instance the X at the bottom? That's bound to confuse the heck out of those poor souls who got so used to the Dreamcast or SNES button setup surely?

Just a thought.

[GogetaSSJ4BR]

craig, thank you for replying to my hinge worries!

this video does show a more reliable view of the hinge, despite the screen-part weight.

thank you for remembering to pay attention to important opinions too, instead of only pleasing the hype consumers with videos. =`]

[Changis158711]

Awesome :) btw, your house is as messy as mine :P except i dont have high heels..

hope their not yours? :P

[knuxte465]

hope the "slightly recent thing" is PSX or N64/Dreamcast. Thats going to make my main decision to buy a Pandora or not

[StickmanEMK]

they have videos of a Pandora playing PSX and Dreamcast, not sure about the N64 but it should be able to do it if you can find a Linux N64 emulator

[atombat]

Slightly more recent nubb action, what could you mean, Virtual On for the Dreamcast :D ???? If not Robotron or Smash T.V action would be just as cool. Go on then, maybe some N64 awesomeness.

[1upgraphix]

Holy crap, you know how to make a cliff hanger!

[smokeyflea]

I gave up on this thing. This looks genuine enough, but is it really coming out?

[TCTVCJ]

Yes, boards are already in mass production and mass production of final cases should start soon. I hope that I will be able to get one from second batch, it will be nice to play some classic games from different systems on single device, especially if the battery wil really hold that long. By the way will Tony Hawks pro Skater 2 run without problems? I haven't seen anything new about PSX emulation for a while :(

[kloplop321]

of course it will...

[zevolev]

Yes, the blog is updated daily!

Final touches are being dealt with for the case, and the first batch will be shipping whenever (sometime after Christmas).

[leetslay]

I feel sorry for you.

[smokeyflea]

Haha, hold on. Was it really that crazy to assume it wasn't coming out? It's been delay after delay.. I didn't say "This thing is never coming out!".. I just stopped visiting the site regularly when little to no progress was being made.

Must this thought be driven out sight by 'thumbs down' or can't it exist as a legitimate discussion?

In any case, I'm glad to hear it's finally reaching mass production. I'll probably be ordering one once I can afford it.

[iloveads47]

I really hope there are more than 3000 made - Pandora is clearly the best handheld platform soon to be on teh market.... drool......

[kinmanyuen]

N64 4 the win! :-)

[underscoredickie]

D: come on craig stop teasing us! we want more videos.... and whilst we're asking for things we want our pandoras lol, but obviosly a video of the nubs will suffise for a while

[bigun89]

Wait... I thought Outrun had analog controls in the arcade?

[craigix]

Hey yeah, it does! We will have to hook those up to the nubs. I forgot about that.

[borgqueenx]

mame.....one of the emulators im never, ever gonna use on pandora. the pandora is made for power :D

[Kenzya]

that's a dumb thing to say

[bigun89]

Not too much longer for us first batchers.

[zeroZshadow]

Hmm those sexy yeti ni... i mean nubs :)

did anyone say perfect dark ?

[Tokiopopski]

NUBS FOR N64.

[streakstreak]

Craig clean up the room :)

[trevsweb]

yayyayayayayay ! woo cant wait till the newyear!

[FearMyWreath]

Haha, I can see you're a Windows user (e.g. in bash/sh you don't seem to use autocompletion, and you use dir instead of ls).

Anyway, the Pandora looks awesome as always, I can't believe people are being so whiney. I will most definitely purchase one. Can't wait until I get my hands on one :D

[craigix]

Actually I grew up an Amiga user :) Now I have a Mac (which I like and hate for various reasons).

[knuxte465]

I feel you there. - Don't pay homage to the "Jesus Phone."

[sonicdream5]

Thank you for posting this video. Everybody is being waaaaay too pessimistic over tiny details. When I am watching this, I am basking in the glory of the Pandora. I think everybody will be very happy when they receive theirs. Thanks again for all the hard work you have put into this project.

[GizmoTheGreen]

terrible compression on this one :(

good video anyway

[craigix]

Maybe give youtube 5 mins to process it? It does clearly say that at the top. It's actually a HD video.

[NeilHonky]

youtube never likes your HD videos. an i want one!

[GizmoTheGreen]

soory didnt see any message like that.

my bad for being impatient!

[TweeterMan287]

I cannot wait to get my Pandora.
