ATARI7800fan #1 Posted April 23, 2011 Hello. I was wondering if anyone here has every heard of the pandora. It is a open source handheld PC. Slightly bigger then a DS but can supposedly play dreamcast emulators has a keyboard,thumbsticks,D-pad and shoulder triggers. What do you guys think. Here is a web-link http://openpandora.de/ and a video review. and some more gameplay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikSlGKBCa70&feature=related and some N64 and Playstation.

Punisher5.0 #2 Posted April 23, 2011 Yes. I've been waiting for mine for quite some time now. I was hoping to get it this spring but now I doubt that will happen. I still want it but I'm loosing interest (in more than one way). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATARI7800fan #3 Posted April 23, 2011 Yes. I've been waiting for mine for quite some time now. I was hoping to get it this spring but now I doubt that will happen. I still want it but I'm loosing interest (in more than one way). From what I have heard it sounds like they have gotten the first pre-order done and now people can buy it off of their site. Sounds like they are hoping to get production up to a few hundred a week, have already produced over 2500 so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punisher5.0 #4 Posted April 23, 2011 They aren't even close to being done with the first batch. The first batch was 4000. There are people under 1500 that still haven't received their units. If you want to pay more money you can jump in line and order a premium unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Video #5 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) I posted a while back And my sentiment is the same now as it was then. It was an absolutely amazing idea when it was announced (now about five years ago) but it tookso long to come out it was just a little to little, to late to be nearly as interesting to me. I mean, if it cost a bill less, but at the threefifty yeah, I don't think so, as I can get a great netbook for that that would blow this thing out of the water, or buy a real handheld for less. Wow, ten months ago? I thought it was more recent than that. Oh well Edited April 26, 2011 by Video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nimtene #6 Posted April 27, 2011 Finally got my Pandora a few weeks ago. An incredible system, even at five years late. Pictures just do not do this system justice! The Dpad and controls were very well designed, and the screen looks beautiful; Playing PSX, TG16, SNES, NES, GB, GEN games on this handheld is amazing.
