So... We went and made this.

RetroGames decided to release their new firmware within 24 hours of our release, and blocked Pandory from working on "updated" The500Mini systems.  They obviously didn't like us fiddling.    

Please let your friends know not to update their firmware!

Anyways, we've basically enabled a few more emulators, and added ADF ADZ IPF, all the good stuff, without being bound- with RetroArch!


Here's the main post that dajoho popped up on the facebook: 

After weeks of work, reverse-engineering, patching of 3rd-party-libraries, experimentation and swearing, Team Pandory is happy to announce the Pandory Soft-mod for the A500 Mini. The Pandory Mod enables:
- A new native RetroArch menu, with OpenGL video-driver support, allowing many new emulators alongside Amiga, including:
- **Megadrive**
- **SNES**
- **Playstation 1**
- **32X**
- **Amiga PUAE**
- *RetroArch has been configured with ADF and IPF support.*
- **Commodore 64**
- **Atari ST**
- **PC-Engine / TurboGrafx**
- **MS-DOS**
- **Game Boy**
- **Game Boy Color**
- **Game Boy Advance**
- **Game Gear**
- **MasterSystem**
- **Quake/DOOM ports**
- **ScummVM (RetroArch version)**
- *.. and many more ..*
- Full root access to your device via Linux Terminal
- ScummVM (Native version)
- Allows switching between the normal A500 menu / Pandory Menu
- Thousands of thumbnails for many different games
- Allows configuration and mapping of controllers not usually supported by the A500 mini -> pandory bypasses SDL2-input and uses Linux-UDEV directly
- Menu background music (Lotus 2), with permission by Barry Leitch
- A selection of free homebrew-games to test before you add your own games
- Flexible aspect ratio configuration options
Free to download now!
