![]() ![]() They were doing handheld N64 and Dreamcast emulation years before anyone else could, back then that sort of stuff was unthinkable. Imagine if all the regular users here on AtariAge owned the same handheld console, that's the community they have and it produces jaw dropping results. The Pandora community is the reason to get into Pyra, it pretty much justifies the high cost of admission. Pyra looks like it's retaining most of those guys, with over 1000 preorders already on the books and discussion at the forums being pretty lively. #Dragonbox pyra software#Pandora had a legion of programmers and content creators get behind it that made sure it had all the software you could ever want. ^ Remember the netbook?

The operating system will be based on the common open source Linux distribution Debian which allows the use of already available desktop open-source applications from the Debian ARM repository, for instance Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, GIMP, etc. In November 2016 a pre-release version of the Pyra schematics was made available under a CC BY-NC-SA license. The certification is not only about bundled software, using proprietary software, or recommending it, such as non-free (including emulated) games, but also about naming, e.g. #Dragonbox pyra driver#For compliance with the Free Software Foundation's " Respects Your Freedom" certificate the closed source SGX GPU driver was identified as the only remaining software roadblock ("would be good to have free drivers, but we can't achieve this for the GPU" but the device may or may not run without a 3D driver, possibly free 2D driver is available or either could be made). It was announced that the hardware schematics will be available (final license undecided), which make the Pyra a kind of Open source hardware. The Pyra is assembled with screws (not glued) and is therefore repair and modification friendly. The replaceable CPU board allows future upgrades of CPU and RAM. For instance the PCB is separated in three parts: CPU board (CPU, RAM and storage), mainboard (ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) and the display board. The Pyra design aims for modularity and openness in software and hardware alike. Like the predecessor OpenPandora, the Pyra includes features from several architectures making it a cross between a handheld game console, a subnotebook, a PDA, and a smartphone. ![]()
