The Pandora

"The most powerful handheld device in the world"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console)



Throw your GP2X in the bin!

This baby is capable of emulating anything from lowly as a Commodore 64 all the way to a Nintendo 64, PSX and Atari Jaguar with no problems.

Also, forum members of GP32X are debating because of the GPU's shear clocking speed and build whether this could emulate a Dreamcast to a playable state.

Is anyone looking forward to this?

It has a huge interest in the community and quite a few games were made for the GP2X so I think it's inevitable.

I'm talking Doom 64!

But can it emulate the Saturn and earlier PC games?

Hint, I'm getting English for the Dead (House of the Dead 2's Typing of the Dead for the Japanese) for the DS. I want to run the original and maybe the Dreamcast/Arcade version of House of the Dead 2 2.

It can run Quake 3 as smooth as it was intended if that's any indication.

They're not so sure about Saturn, I hope they can but the minimum requirements for a PC Saturn emulator is a Core 2 Duo and 1GB RAM.

The thought of 1gb of RAM in a handheld.

No, that's the recommended requirements for a PC Saturn emulator, the Pandora has 128MB of RAM.

Yeah, and the second coming of Christ and all that.

Looks to be about a third of the size of the EEE PC.
