Mortal Kombat running on the Pandora gaming handheld via MAME!

[zRichi]

lol £239 to be able to play mortal kombat 1.

This I'll stick with my psp

[cyborgtroy]

You can also emulate PS1 games and do other stuff.

[dtfageet]

Amen

[Notyu1459]

Umm.....I hate to break it to ya but this thing (in terms of specs) makes the psp look like a child's toy. The processor is nearly twice as fast and it has 4x the ram. Plus a graphics card.

[NielsShoe]

Thaught the Pandora had a wide screen?

[calc84maniac]

No prototype? Wow, you are seriously misinformed. Go watch a video that wasn't posted 7 months ago.

[calc84maniac]

That was meant for dtfageet, by the way.

[Notyu1459]

Bet you feel like an idiot now.

[dtfageet]

No, but you just lost your bet.

[Notyu1459]

Fuck! X(

[cyborgtroy]

Yeah, it's 800 by 480. But MK is only 4 by 3.

[DrBeardo]

@cyborgtroy nope, 800x480 is 16:9, 800x600 and 640x480 are 4:3. That means that all your 1080p and 720p videos play full screen, theres even a DSP on the GPU to handle acceleration of pretty much every video format. Even H.264, Theora and VP8.

[cyborgtroy]

@DrBeardo - Actually it's 5:3 or 15:9, which means there will be some bars on the top of bottom of 16:9 videos.

I was just saying that Mortal Kombat was 4:3 since older consoles were usually 4:3 aspect... Was I incorrect?

[DrBeardo]

@cyborgtroy Not quite, depends on if you are talking NTSC which is 3:2 720x480 or PAL which is 4:3 768x576. So is the Game US or Euro?

[cyborgtroy]

@DrBeardo - No idea. I can't even remember what comment I was replying to. It doesn't matter anymore.

[5k18ur]

I would really wanna see Mortal Kombat 2 at 100% FPS. Could you make a video on it so we can see it in action. Please? Keep up the good work.

[times9]

yeah,can you run an n64 emu. will it run good aswell

[Mupp1t]

yeah you can. it's way faster than PSP. you can run games like quake 3, doom 3, and unreal tournament. or any games like snes, n64, original playstation.

[crasherball]

unreal tournament wont be playable on it, since its not opensource, and wont be in future

[cyborgtroy]

true. Doom 3 is getting opened probably this year, though, and it will be ported ASAP.

[dtfageet]

So is the new PhantomQuantum. This console is faster than the Pandora too. Just like the Pandora it has been made up, I've taken pre-orders but won't be releasing just like the Pandora crew.

[cyborgtroy]

The Pandora has the screens, mainboards, and keymats in mass production.

The case will follow soon.

It is far from vaporware.

[SavingGod]

I thought a port of the newest MAME would be a good idea but it turns out my roms don't work with it. That's just great.

[Goldsun1715]

Seems pretty laggy...

[SavingGod]

It's not the game that is laggy. It's the encode method he used to upload the video to YT

[rextony22]

great fight thanks.

[lobbleton]

This is the only reason why even get out of bed in the morning. Please more.

You are doing God's work. I truly thank you for this.

[siliconstate]

Wow! Amazing :)

[SavingGod]

When you get the Final Pandora product and not the dev board, I can only imagine you will create some wicked sh!t. I hope it can handle the newest MAME with ease. BTW, you think adding Netplay to MAME is possible? Adhoc would be cool, but since I'm the only one of all my friends who is getting one, Adhoc would be pointless.

[CCmachine]

PLEASE add good audio recording... 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead w/ mic in + audacity? maybe? hmm .

anyway awesome stuff, keep up the good work!

[joshwaan]

Great Stuff Zodttd your the man. How do you think MK2 will run?

[chosen1920]

any word on when this will come out?... and also will it have any other games of its own besides just like emulators and stuff... also you think this would be able to handle an n64 emulator

[zodttd]

Definitely check the OpenPandora homepage for release dates of the Pandora handheld. MAME should be ready to go when the Pandora is shipped and made public. Soon ;)

And yes, I do believe Pandora can handle N64 emulation. Which is me saying a lot, as I believe N64 is NOT worth trying on the iPhone and The Wiz.

This handheld is a beast!

[AndrewDaniele87]

November 30th :)

[craigix]

Very nice Mr.Z :)

[zodttd]

Thanks Craig! I'm loving the Pandora!
