OpenPandora GmbH OpenPandora Classic is a gaming handheld launched in 2010. Powered by OMAP3530 (1-core, 600 MHz), 256 MB RAM. Features a 4.3" TFT LCD display (800 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
This hardware covers an impressive range of classic platforms: NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System, Genesis / Mega Drive, Game Gear, TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine and Neo Geo. Vintage computers such as the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MS-DOS are also on the list, alongside MAME, Final Burn Neo, Daphne, ScummVM and PlayStation, which marks the upper limit of its emulation reach.
The 4.3-inch TFT display runs at 800 x 480 with a 5:3 aspect ratio and a pixel density of roughly 217 ppi, delivering a sharp picture for retro games. The screen sits behind a plastic lens, and the folding design keeps it protected from scratches while on the move.
For controls, the console offers a cross-shaped D-pad and dual analog slidepads, handy for games that call for analog input. Front-facing dual stereo speakers and a built-in microphone round out the package. The plastic body measures 140 x 83.5 x 29 mm and weighs 320 g.
The 4000 mAh battery is swappable, so it can easily be replaced with a spare. Storage is handled by SDHC and SDXC cards, leaving room for a generous game library.
The operating system is Linux, and the community has produced alternatives such as SuperZaxxon. The open nature of the platform invites experimentation, installing applications and tweaking the software to your liking.
Ideal for: collectors and retro enthusiasts who value an open, Linux-based handheld with a swappable battery and a special place in emulation history.
