What went wrong?
>>
>>54448658
overpriced
bulky

Literally all they did was put linux in a x86 box - pricks couldn't be arsed to use mobiletier ARM

>>54448658
arm processor
>>
As thick as a fucking brick
Weak as fuck
Overpriced

And like >>54448744 said, poorly timed, the GPD-Win blows this thing out.
>>
>>54448658
Everything.

Is the ultra-chink version even competitive with winblows 10?

>Texas Instruments OMAP 5 SoC
>2x ARM Cortex-A15 @ 1.5Ghz with NEON SIMD
>2x ARM Cortex-M4
>PowerVR™ SGX544-MP2


What year is this?

>>54448742
What would have ARM changed?

>>54448751
So is it on ARM or x86?
>>
>>54448883
It's ARM >>54448856

Oh wow I forgot about this, well it looks like shit, it's thick, and I'm pretty sure at the time the PSP played pretty much all emulators except N64 well for way less.
>>
>>54448902
Any modern cellphone plays any emulator.

There's literally no reason to buy the Pyra over this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1703567677/icontrolpad-2-the-open-source-controller and using your cellphone.
>>
>>54448938
But the icontrolpad2 flopped. I backed it and only got 2/3 of my money back
>>
>>54448957
Oh, I didn't know that. Why if flopped?

Meanwhile, the chinks that made the GPD XD are making this.

And it cost less than the Pyra.

This cost 299 with 4GB of ram

The 2GB, none mobile edition of the Pyra is 376 dollars

They said if they hit some funding goal they would add backlighting and this ended up making it fail. They underestimated how much they had to redesign and that adding the translucent material and LEDs were more expensive than anticipated.

Maybe some internal stuff too. The uk guy dropped the company and sold his house to give back money to refunds

Just get a cellphone mount like the gameklip and add in a PS3 controller with an OTG cable you dumb niggers.

It's stupid to buy this device for emulation if you already have a cellphone.
>>
>>54448856
The worst part is the PowerVR SGX544. Thing is ancient and super hostile to open source, so the blob is all you'll ever get. Meanwhile, the Pi is running desktop OpenGL.

>>54448856
What are the M4s for?

Fucking look at it

Price

>>54448982
what is this and where do i get one

>>54449578
I've been using my cellphone for emulation for a while and I'm actually tempted by this. >>54448982
Higher specs, has a lot more battery power, can run the very extensive suite of free emulators for Windows, not having to deal with connecting your controller via bluetooth even though it's literally holding the cellphone, etc.

I often play in the bus and it drains a lot of my battery for the rest of the day.
>>
>>54451443
It's nice having a dedicated machine with s big battery so you don't drain your phones

Nope

GPD Win
>>
>>54448658
Too expensive and weak specs
As mentioned timing was also bad, with gpd win being more powerful, cheaper and likely to release first.

Actually that's just the down payment.
Standard 2gb ram pyra costs about 677 dollars.

Atoms are pretty good these days.
>>
>>54448658
maybe wouldve been impressive in 2008 when the pandora was first announced. They couldn't manufacture them fast enough to keep up with the times
>>
lmao the icontrolpad 2 was made by the same guys that made the open pandora

Coincidence?
>>
>>54452963
Bay trail and cherry trail are a huge step up from the older atoms.
Unfortunately Intel seem to be discontinuing the atom line.
>>
>>54453299
How can you find that surprising since it is literally the same design as the open Pandora. The name they chose is both surprising and shameful
>>
>>54456288
no, i was laughing at the guy saying that the open pandora was trash while claiming that the icp2 was all he needed. also craig rothwell is why the pandora almost completely failed and was why the icp2 failed.
>>
>>54451443
>bluetooth
I mentioned in my post that you can use a cable.
Battery isn't an issue, I got 3 extra batteries for my s3, each one gives me about 2-3 hours of emulation without an issue.
