The PandaPacks are pleasantly organized mega-packages of PNDs, showing off some of the capabilities of the system with some of the more polished and awesomely fun games. It's a good download for first time users who don't know where to start.

The idea is to be able to download the torrent and simply copy the completed torrent to the root of your SD card and be ready to go. It already has the appropriate /pandora/appdata and /pandora/apps folder setup.

PND Requirements

To be able to be distributed as a PandaPack, PNDs must meet the following requirements:

• The PND must allow all downstream users to freely redistribute the PND's contents.
  • Free software qualifies (that which meets DFSG guidelines), as well as anything that allows free redistribution.
  • Software that's copyrighted without a notice of free redistribution can't be redistributed.

Beyond that, if something looks good for a PandaPack, recommend it and I'll try to include it in the next package. Just make sure you include some redistributable ROMs if you include an emulator.
