Gradius running via MAME on the Pandora gaming handheld!

Hello from ZodTTD of zodttd.com!
Here's Gradius running on Pandora via mame4all!
I had such fun with Franxis' mame4all project for the GP2X, that I decided to give it a port to the Pandora. Pandora is a upcoming high end gaming handheld (homepage: openpandora.org). I did this port in approximately two hours. It uses the Cyclone and DrZ80 assembly cores. It has fully working sound via OSS. Everything I have thrown at it runs fullspeed and requires throttling, and this is all at 500MHz instead of the 600MHz+ the Pandora can handle with ease! Also worth mentioning I am using a very early devkit, so I had to scale the screen as well as rotate it within software, so performance will be even better on newer devkits and the final product!

Gradius ran slowly on the GP2X. With the power of the Pandora gaming handheld, you can now play it just as it was meant to be played!

Hope you enjoy this video of Gradius emulated via mame4all ported to the Pandora! Thanks,

Thanks. If anyone noticed some jerky playback in the video, it's just the re-encoding to YouTube. I will try different encoders. I'm currently using iMovie + Quicktime encoded MP4 output.

Looks fun, I can't wait for the final ones to start shipping.

I also can't wait for Xmoto to somehow be ported...
