@Exesta The Pandora runs a custom Linux distribution, meaning it can run many applications with ports into Linux. This means the Pandora can double as an entire personal computer. Linux is not windows, and cannot run windows applications.
@wand222 The Pandora runs Linux. PC games (windows) are windows applications and cannot run in Linux. If a game has a Linux port, than yes, it could run.
I'm just saying the hardware is in the ballpark of the GC or Xbox (from what I've heard, maybe it's closer to PS2..), so it's possible for original games to look quite good.
Well, I have to compare it to something until there's original games out for it. :/
You can look at some of the PowerVR SGX demos to see what the GPU is like, the Pandora-oriented games will have a lot of hardware to throw around for a portable console, it should be fun.

No, it's probably going to top out around N64 / Dreamcast level for emulation.
The quality of original games could be around Gamecube or XBox, but it won't be able to emulate those consoles.

alrighty then. it just sounds kinda bland to compare to other consoles like that...
