Mr Lottery winner strikes again

innit.

And he never had to sell anything to finance it this time!

[Colin]

Jesus, i didn't realise i had to run my puchases and sales past an NTSC approval system. I don't get this many comments from the bloody girlfriend!

The Wiz has been out for quite a while hasn't it? last I read it was a bit under powered CPU wise and the screen wasn't great - but like I say that was probably six months back.

The power of the CPU depends on what you want to play on it... for 16-bit consoles it is fine but I'm not holding my breath for decent PSX/N64 emulators.

Never seen that thread before as I never normally venture beyond the Retro thread, but I'm sure that C_S isn't so disappointed now that some emulators have eliminated the screen tearing problem, and even for those which haven't there is now a script to reduce the effect. As for the screen not being great... that's just plain wrong... the screen is inf*ckingcredible!

How does it compare to a PSP?

[PeterUK]

Tis what I wanna know too please

[samanosuke]

I cannae comment as ne'er have I used such a device as a PSP, for emulation or otherwise.

[Duddyroar]

Wow, looks like the Wiz has really come on leaps and bounds since I last dusted mine off.

Pandora has started shipping this week, in case you were wondering.

[gunrock]

I wish I had ordered a Pandora, but I couldn't justify it at the time, and I vene more broke at the moment, so probably wise that I didn't.

[Duddyroar]

Yeah, the Pandora is a bit pricey. But then it's going to blow everything else away, so it should be worth it.

I would highly recomend it.

I have indeed been very very happy that the screen tear was proven to be software and fixed. To take the best ever OLED screen and have a massive rip in the middle was tragic!

Mine has arrived seemingly. Just sat at the airport waiting to fly home, looking forward to getting up there and trying it out.
