Pandora News
Rocks N Diamonds (29-01-2011) (Pandora Game Port)

This game recreates the engines of Boulder Dash, Emerald Mine, Supaplex and Sokoban, and does so faithfully enough to be able to replay the original games. However, it doesn’t stop there. The game evolved enough to be able to use elements from all 4 games at the same time, use of custom behaviour elements and all sort of trickery that can turn the game in something completely different.

Thanks to this customizability, the game has spawned hundreds and hundreds of custom levels. Highlights include Snakebite, R’n’D jue special collection or the Zelda adventures. Also for the more purists, thousands of the original levels for the original Emerald Mine, Supaplex, Boulderdash and Sokoban are available, converting this game almost into an ultimate collection.

Changes:

Small update by EvilDragon: Added notaz’ SDL library for ssmoother scrolling 🙂

Hatari v1.40b (Atari ST emu for Pandora)

Hatari is a very good emulator for ST and related machines (TT030, Falcon, etc, though ST support is its focus.) This is a full port of the emu, including hard drive support, etc.

Release notes:

– fixed the hdd boot option, so it doesn’t always turn it on when you least expect it; if you’ve saved a config, you might want to wipe it out (example hatari.cfg in your appdata) just to make sure. But in general now, you actually have to enable the option for it to stick .. now it very definately defaults to off 🙂

– added vsync (always on); let me know if its visible apparent at all, or if it slows things down and you need a checkbox option to enable/disable it, or if its just fine. I can barely notice such things (my eyes must suck 🙂 so I can’t really tell. I still see tear lines in demo unpacks, but thats really due to games updating and rendering one line at a time, which is a separate thing to look into fixing .. but for games doing a lot of screen updates, this vsync should help it look more coherent. Let me know 🙂

– I included a half dozen random ST demos; they’re legal to distribute since all fresh code from the demo scene groups. If you’ve already got a ‘disks/readme.txt’ in your appdata, it will not copy them in .. but if you delete yor readme.txt in there it’ll think its a fresh Hatari install and unpack them for you. They take up only a few hundred K each, so no biggy.. feel free to wipe them out!

I’ll have to look into adding some keyb/dpad control to the menus, since file selector really is annoying 🙂

The game is a clone of the Rat Poker (a game created by the same author of the TETRIS) only that with donkeys, and some 200 times more bloodier 🙂

PCSX-ReARMed (r4) (PSX emu for Pandora)

PCSX-ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork, based on PCSX-Reloaded. It has no relation to PSX4ALL, PSX4Pandora or PCSX4ALL (other than being PCSX derived) and has the source available. The main feature it has is Ari64’s dynarec, modified to suit PCSX. There is a bit of NEON for color space conversion too. The compatibility should be close to the PC version.

Changes:

– added real BIOS support (and various things for it to work)
– fixed various recompiler issues
– added interpreter option (useful to overcome dynarec bugs)
– fixed some memory card related issues with HLE bios
– rewrote frame limiter (old was sometimes sleeping needlessly)

Battle for Wesnoth v1.9.4 (Development release) (Pandora Game Port)

The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Quote:

This is a development release, so it is likely to have some issues you would not expect in a stable series. Things are still in motion, many changes are happening and especially translations are incomplete since barely any translation team has started working on this new line. This is intentional since their work would be wasted otherwise if the stuff does still change further. So if you are using a translation of Wesnoth and see some English strings: this is no bug.

If you find any issues with this release, please report them at http://bugs.wesnoth.org.

Some things for you to keep in mind:
* 1.8.x saves are likely not to be compatible with 1.9.x games. This is no bug and you can install both, 1.8.x and 1.9.x in parallel to play them. Eg you will have by far more players on the multiplayer server for 1.8.x than you will find for 1.9.x. On the other hand 1.9.x does feature many great changes, especially seeing all the new terrain graphics in action is really lovely.
* The new download has more than 300MB.

In general Wesnoth is identical on your Pandora and on your normal desktop system. That means that you can of course move savegames between the two and stuff like this. The same applies for multiplayer games with Windows, OSX and Linux users. I hope that you will enjoy this new release.

Pasang Emas v3.0.0 (Pandora Game Port)

Pasang is a traditional game from Brunei.

Quote:

In this game, black and white tokens are arranged on a playing board, forming a pattern. There is a catalogue of more than 30 different patterns. Many of these patterns resemble embroideries commonly seen on kain songket or kain tenun, Brunei’s traditional cloth.

Two players take turn capturing these tokens, scoring 1 point for each black token and 2 points for each white one. The game ends when the board is empty, or when a player runs out of moves.

Pasang is commonly played during celebrations of royal weddings and the annual birthday festival of the Sultan of Brunei.

Pasang Emas brings this unique game to your computer.
