OpenPandora GmbH OpenPandora Rebirth is a gaming handheld launched in 2010. Powered by DM3730 (1-core, 600 MHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 4.3" TFT LCD display (800 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside sits the Texas Instruments DM3730 SoC, with a single Cortex-A8 core at 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 graphics at 200 MHz and 512 MB of RAM. Modest by today's standards, this setup still covers an impressive library: NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Master System, TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine, the Game Boy family up to Game Boy Advance, Neo Geo Pocket Color and Atari Lynx. On the computer side, Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX and MS-DOS are listed, while arcade fans get MAME, Final Burn Neo, Capcom Play System 1 and 2 and Neo Geo. CD-based systems such as Sega CD, PC Engine CD and PlayStation mark the upper limit, rounded out by ScummVM, EasyRPG, Pico-8 and Z-Machine.
The 4.3-inch TFT screen runs at 800 x 480, giving roughly 217 ppi in a 5:3 aspect ratio behind a plastic lens. The high resolution renders low-resolution retro games with clarity.
For controls, the Rebirth offers a cross D-pad and dual analog slidepads, useful for 3D titles and apps that need analog input. A built-in microphone is included, and the dual stereo speakers face the front.
The 4000 mAh battery is swappable, so it can be exchanged for a spare during long sessions. Storage is handled by SDHC and SDXC cards, making it easy to expand for large game collections.
The operating system is Linux, and the device supports SuperZaxxon, which makes it appealing to anyone who wants to experiment, customise and install their own emulators and applications.
Ideal for: Linux and open-hardware enthusiasts, collectors of classic handhelds and players who want retro computer, arcade and console emulation up to PlayStation in a clamshell form factor.
