PandoraThe Pandora has, after numerous delays, finally started shipping. Its Linux operating system allows the Pandora to run emulators of many popular games consoles and computers, or even a full desktop environment. SoftwareHaving received one of the first 4000 Pandoras available in the first shipment, I have been working on ports of some popular software for use on this new system. DegaA Sega Master System and Game Gear emulator. FrotzA straight compile of the Frotz Infocom/Z-Machine interpreter, as currently maintained by David Griffith. FUSE - The Free Unix Spectrum EmulatorPhilip Kendall's FUSE Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator, slightly modified for the relative path system used on the Pandora [see this patch]. HandyA port of the Handy Atari Lynx emulator with a menu system added for the Pandora. MAME4ALLThe handheld-optimised version of the MAME arcade emulator. SIMHBob Supnik's SIMH compiled and packaged for the Pandora. Simulators a lot of old systems like the PDP-11, IBM mainframes, etc. BackgroundsHere are a few of "wallpaper" backgrounds I knocked up for the Pandora. Click the thumbnails for the fullsize images (800x480 pixels). Mock-upI made this mock-up Pandora in order to visualise a couple of modifications I was thinking about. Should you wish to build one, you can download a PDF file conatining the nets for the full-colour version pictured or an ink-saving outline version. The overall size is that stated on the wiki , but as the rest was eye-balled from the available renders, I can't vouch for any other dimensions. |
