Did you know that you can customize PND applications you run by creating bash scripts which run before and after the application? Probably. But do you use these scripts a lot? Probably not. PNDconfig by dimag0g is supposed to make this powerful config option user-friendly. You can configure pre- and post-scripts by selecting actions to be performed from a list.

Changes:

1. Added zram swap actions (enable/disable)
2. Added “configure nubs mode” action
3. Fixed “Restore default nubs mode” action (now uses nubs.state)
4. Added “Activate QJoyPad layout” action
5. Code fixes and cleanups:
.sh extensions for all script files
error checks
chmod a+x on generated scripts
-e to check for file presence
6. Added help file
7. Added system startup script configuration (in Custom script actions)
8. Added TV out enable/disable actions

ptitSeb ported PPSSPP to the OpenPandora handheld. PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later).

PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler. PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* In synch with the git repo
* based on 0.9.5 version
* new Vertex JIT that bring some speedup in some game
* Warning, this version doesn’t like default driver version
* Don’t try to go back ingame once in Menu Screen, it hang for now

Pandora System Info by Jon Sneyers is a ridiculously accurate battery information, so you can actually see exactly how fast the battery is (dis)charging and exactly how many micro Ampere hours it has left.

Changes:

– see and change DSP clock speed
– small tweaks: no more screen redrawing when minimized or when lid is closed (helps for more accurate logging), reduced memory footprint
