Description:

Pandafe is a sort of "universal" SDL frontend for Pandora games and emulators.

It was written especially for the Pandora, with the following goals:
* browse and run all roms and games from a single program
* specify commandline options for each game via a menu
* be fully configurable and extendable via the program itself
* use only dpad and buttons to do all this (no touching, heh)
* persist data via yaml, for human reading/writing/sharing

v0.1.2.1

I meant Yoshi's fact sheets, showing what the controls are for each emu: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,404 Anyway, this is a really practical launcher, please continue development. E.g. you can remove the rebirth banner now :) And congrats with the kid!

As far as "Yoshi's cheat sheets," I'm not familiar. Cheat database? I would certainly like to add support these sorts of things in the future. Further details and recommendations would be appreciated. When I get the chance I will try to open a forum thread for this sort of discussion.

As far as new/reorganized platforms, you may not be aware that you can add/arrange them yourself within the app. Press select/space to bring up main/context menus. Docs are lacking, but everything there was done via the program itself. When I have time, I will add support for more out of the box.

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you like it! I do intend to continue development, though I have a new child and a new home so my free time is lacking of late. Once my time opens up again I will first get the source cleaned and up on github, and then start looking at new features and requests.

I really like Pandafe! Great to have a unified launcher for all games, for all emulators and of course Pandora apps. It works fine, but please continue development! Some feature requests: blend in Yoshi's cheat sheets in some way, add more platforms (e.g. C64), don't put Playstation in "Other"
