Milkshake has brought something to the pandora that has been aspired by quite a few for a while, which is to have commercial games.
Note: All the funds go to the publisher, no one, not OpenPandora GmbH, Ltd. or Milkshake gets any of the funds, it all goes to the developer. Except the cut that Paypal takes out for their services.
The first commercial title is also available already: Arora Rift 32X

Evildragon and Craig(who was cursed with a moldy ceiling), went to Blackpool to the Replay Expo 2011!
That means they are done now
Many team members, including our repo guy, milkshake, and our friend who lost his name badge along the way, PokeParadox, met and made it on camera!
Furthermore, many visitors found the device quite interesting.
May88′s impressions, photos, videos and more can be found in this article!
Regarding the movement of parts from the dastardly CircuitCo(In Texas) to GlobalComponents(In Germany), the customs documents have been completed.
A prototype run of the PCB is anticipated during this month(November).
As resource costs, such as copper have changed, EvilDragon has requested a quote so that we may soon get the Yet-To-Be TV Cables! Maybe this time Iceland’s volcanoes and South America’s tectonic plates won’t screw us over.
Lastly, an individual that goes by Delicator will be helping busy EvilDragon with the main site with features like a croudsourced gallery, user generated content, and integration with the forum
Full post and source after the jump!

While EvilDragon is getting about 4 hours of sleep a night, he’s working hard to ensure the success of the batch which will be produced in Germany.
Note: CC is CircuitCo, the current manufacturer that has consistently let us down. GC is Global Components, which has many international sites is the new manufacturer ED will work with.
In summary, TV out cables might become a reality soon, investment contracts are happily building up, EPV(the parts dealers) will be assisting with customs for the transition between CC and GC. EvilDragon plans to do some promotion to sell the new units around November/December. However, the new units realistically are not expected to ship in time for the Christmas holidays.
The full text, links and all, is after the jump.

Anybody remembers those good puzzle games like atomix or sokoban? How many hours you spent trying to solve a mind bending problem? Well, hex-a-hop is one of them. And it’s cute!

Update:

Jumanji – Download
Midori – Download – Discussion
Original post:
If there is anything the Pandora does not lack, it’s web browsers.
Currently there are over 12 different versions of over 10 different browsers available. They range from the pure text-based Lynx to the full Firefox 4.
Now this obviously begs the question “which one is any good?” and “Which one starts up the fastest?”. That are already two questions now and there are several more, however all of them will be answered in the following 40 minute video review, enjoy!

So you’re sitting there thinking to yourself “Gosh this Pandora thing is niche.” Then this guy called torpor strolls along and says “nu-uh, did you know people are still writing games for this thing?” He proceeds to tell you that he has an emulator for you to try, and it comes packaged with a handful of the aforementioned niche niche games. Suitably humbled, you hit the download link and get your Oric on.

Zodttd has updated PSX4Pandora once again, with a range of fixes from video scaling to frame limiting to newly added nub support. From Zod’s Youtube text:
This video shows psx4pandora v1.0b2 running on a Pandora at a low 600MHz playing Wipeout XL. The game is smooth with sound and is constantly hovering in the 60 FPS area as it should.
Any questions?

Yesterday we were under the impression that only the Pandora boards and battery compartment stickers had turned up in the UK. EvilDragon now tells us that the LCDs and other bits & pieces have arrived as well, hopefullly rounding out the total ton from Texas.
Yesterday, we were in for quite a surprise!
On Thursday, air traffic was back to a regular state – but delivery services (like UPS) have quite a backlog and need some time to catch up.
They told us, our shipment won’t arrive before early next week.
