Pandora is coming: Burn your D.S.
galagabug \| 10:24 AM on 04.14.2008	20 comments

Pandora will be the spiritual successor to the portable emulation powerhouse, the GP2X. Though not affiliated with gamepark, makers of the gp2x, it does have the full support of the GP2x community.

the hardware specs are sounding impressive, and can be viewed at the wiki:

http://pandora.bluwiki.org/

their official website: http://www.openpandora.org/

and now for the sexy:

they claim it will handle full ps1 emulation without hiccuping, with the potential of full n64 emulation down the road. the touch screen offers all kinds of possiblities, and... i don't even know. all i know is DO WANT!

It's this for real? I still have my doubts.

it ain't out yet, i'd imagine it can't do DS emu, since it only has one screen.

Well if it can't play DS games, why would I burn my DS? And why is it D.S. and not DS?

It's a sad day when I read the title and thought,
"Yeah, they are bringing Pandora back for Guitar Hero On Tour. Why should I burn my DS? She was like my favourite character..."

Needless to say, was I ever wrong.

If it ever exists, do want

Uh... I'd say a "do want" to those features but I'm having trouble believing any of it considering all the pictures are obvious renders

Wow, that looks incredible.
I'm now on the newsletter list.
If it materialises, I'll be getting one.

I'll just keep my NOT hacked psp oh thank you so very much

yeah the pics are renders, but they just started producing actual PCB's aroudn the specs listed above. the final product should look very similar, and should hit the streets within a month or two.

Looks neat. I'd like to have one, but I'm not burning my DS.
I wuvs it too much.

I... I must have it.

But my DS isn't going anywhere, it's far too awesome to burn.

It'd be nice to have something that emulates well... The DS can't even seem to emulate a SNES properly.

Not that I've tried. Ahem.

KAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Looks sweet though. Can't say I'd get one however. Despite it's power and what-not, it seems to be only good for emulation. Rarely was an actual good game released for the GP2X that was meant for it. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd rather just keep my DS (for now).

Modded PSP's can do all of the above, from what I heard.
