GColor2 by MarkW is a simple, standalone colour picking tool.

EDuke32 is a port of the classic 3D Realms game Duke Nukem 3D (or Duke3D for short) to several OS’es. EDuke32 adds many new convenient features and modernizations for casual players and many editing features and scripting extensions for mod authors. Ported to Pandora by mcobit.

Changes:

Added Mapster32 Mapeditor
Added Lunixbochs LibGL for experimental OpenGL support (expect crashes, glitches etc.)

Extreme Tux Racer is a high speed arctic racing game based on Tux Racer. This port is playable but unoptimized. There are graphical glitches with fog and ice elements.

Day Trip by Planet Earth is a Genesis demo released at @party 2013 and ranked #1 in the oldschool demo competition.

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:

* Added support for Atrac+ and MPEG
* Still unstable, so expect crash when playing videos.

GemRB (Game engine made with pre-Rendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware’s Infinity Engine.

It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment). It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, possibly other UNIX derivatives and more. It is licensed under the GPL.

XInvaders 3D is a 3D “Space Invader” style game. Ported by Loic2003.

Changes:

* Fixed a bug with the loading of the sounds

Claws Mail is an email client (and news reader), based on GTK+. Ported to Pandora by mcobit.

Changes:

– Added gnupg 1.4.13. PGP plugins will work now.
– Added warning message to link /mnt/utmp/claws-mail/bin/gpg to /usr/bin/gpg

Pandora NubNub! by _wb_ and Jester/Sanity is a fast-paced, original arcade-style game with simple vector graphics and cool music. It is played with both nubs. Supports C4A highscores.

You control a creature called “the NubNub”. It eats yellow stuff to grow. If it grows big enough, you go to the next level. The NubNub has to avoid the red stuff, because it hurts and makes the NubNub shrink. If the NubNub shrinks too much, it dies.

Eating yellow stuff, but especially green stuff, makes the NubNub have more attraction power to better attract yellow stuff. Touching blue stuff diminishes attraction power and turns it into repulsion, which makes it hard to eat yellow stuff.

Changes:

– Minor gfx tweaks
– Fixed vsync, no more flicker
– Make sure you have most recent firmware or it may crash!
