[QUOTE=Goldsun1715;17794436][img]http://openpandora.org/images/stories/pandastart.jpg[/img] Has enough power to emulate the Dreamcast. :D[/QUOTE] Looks cool. I'd get it.

[quote=johan svensk;17794599]ipod touch/iphone[/quote] hahahahahahahahahahaha, £200-£350 for that, you could get a PSP+DS for that.

[QUOTE=OneArmedScissor;17794808]hahahahahahahahahahaha[/QUOTE] seriously they got as much power as a psp(atleast the new 3g versions) and there's a whole bunch of games worth downloading

[QUOTE=johan svensk;17794827]seriously they got as much power as a psp(atleast the new 3g versions) and there's a whole bunch of games worth downloading[/QUOTE] Its not about power, its about price and quality. You'll get far more games, and with the PSP/DS you get more bang for your buck, and you aren't giving Apple money

PSP, just for Monster Hunter Freedom 1/2/Unite.

I'd say the DS, for the shitty Nintendo games who are buggy as hell and thus funny, and because of the awesome (but few) games named in this thread already. I don't know about the PSP, but I find downloading and playing games with the DS incredibly easy. Purchased this card + sd + software for 15 euro.

All you need is firmware 5.03 and you can use an exploit to load a program that will flash your PSP. Then its as simple as copying the homebrew to a memory stick.

The DS doesn't have those annoying firmware updates, and an R4 is much easier to use.

I'd get a DS. So many good games especially if you're nostalgic of older Nintendo.

And you don't have to update your PSP's firmware once 5.00M33 is on. The latest games can be patched to work on it. [QUOTE=Louie XVI;17802139]I'd get a DS.

I own both handhelds and I'm gutted I didn't get a PSP earlier, there so much more you can do with it.

DSi+Acekard 2i=win [editline]08:05AM[/editline] Homebrew, DSORGINIZE FTW

[QUOTE=Zombii;17809889]DSi+Acekard 2i=win [editline]08:05AM[/editline] Homebrew, DSORGINIZE FTW[/QUOTE] Problem with the DSi is firmware updates could render your AceKard useless.

Yeah, I forgot that it had updating firmware.

Oh and with DS flashcarts you need to update your firmware and loaders for the latest games anyway. So the PSP firmware argument is a moot point.

I really want a Pandora now.

[QUOTE=kikka;17810433]I really want a Pandora now.[/QUOTE] If your firmware is 5.03 or below you don't need one.

Like Gameboy? GET A PSP NOW! You can get emulators and play hundreds of Gameboy advance and gameboy color games without any cartridges, they're stored entirely on your system memory. [editline]11:00AM[/editline] It can emulate everything up to the PS1 and N64. By that I mean it can emulate those and anything before it, but nothing after it.

OpenPadndora: * ARM® Cortex™-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux * 430-MHz TMS320C64x+™ DSP Core * PowerVR SGX OpenGL 2.0 ES compliant 3D hardware * 800x480 4.3" 16.7 million colours touchscreen LCD * Wifi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth & High Speed USB 2.0 Host * Dual SDHC card slots & SVideo TV output * Dual Analogue and Digital gaming controls * 43 button QWERTY and numeric keypad * Around 10+ Hours battery life called the most powerfull handheld of this time also extra info: ______________________________________________________________________ The Pandora is a mixture between a PC and a gaming console. That's why it has gaming controls (Buttons, DPad and analogue nubs). It is fast enough to emulate many other systems, run a full desktop, access the internet via FireFox and play games such as Quake3. However, it is not as big as a netbook. Believe it or not, it will fit in your pocket. It's a bit bigger than the Nintendo DS. The screen is an impressive 800*480 resolution LCD and the battery life is a sensational 10+ hours. But the most interesting part is probably that it isn't designed by a large company, it was designed by the suggestions and requests of hundreds of people on the gp32x forums. Over several months those suggestions were fine tuned in to what you see today, a completely new open source handheld. And yes, the Pandora is running an OpenSource OS: it's basically Ångström-Linux with some Pandora-specific changes. The source code is here: (git.openpandora.org). _______________________________________________________ now in action! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsLCECZvBac&feature=player_embedded[/media]
