    What Happened To The Gba Emu For Gp32?

    Their site says it's still being worked on, but NO CODE WHATSOEVER has been checked in at sourceforge for over 4 months. Their site says it's "not dead," but in my experience, that's usually a sign that a project is dead. Also, they didn't do a white bar fix. I did it for them.

    Any Regrets About Buying A Gp32

    I wound up getting one of the earliest "dodgy unit" BLU+ devices, so, yeah, I kind of regret it. One of the main emulators I wanted to take advantage of, OpenSNES9xGP, is still broken with white bars, and so far I haven't had much luck fixing it since the source is so ancient it doesn't even...

    How To Load Msx Images

    No, it's not. LZH/LHA is its own archive format, which is not ZIP. Back in the days before ZIP was invented, it was very popular, but these days, not so much. You'll want to convert the archive to an actual ZIP file.

    Blu +

    I'm actually working on this myself, except I have no idea what version of the SDK & compiler was used to compile it. It doesn't compile AT ALL using a modern GCC 3.4/GPSDK environment. The fixing part will take minutes. But so far the "turning fixed code into an fxe file" part has taken more...

    Gp32 Blu Or Flu?

    No, there are two BLUs -- one that is compatible with all software, and one that is compatible with some but not all software. You're going to have a hard time buying new units that aren't the "sort-of compatible" type, as the compatible ones are no longer made. As far as the difference...

    Corrupt Zip Files

    The Mac OSX unzip also doesn't work. People, please don't create ZIP files unless they actually adhere to the ZIP format. At least the "7Zip" project picked another name for their proprietary archive format. Saying "just get WinZip 9" doesn't do squat for people who aren't running Windows or...

    Help With Drmd

    I can confirm this. DrMD inits the LCD the old (white bar) way, displays the corrupted ad banner, then reads the config and correctly initializes the LCD. It should be pretty easy to fix, just a matter of doing things in the correct order.

    Official Welcome To Gp32x Welcome Post

    Wow. I have a completely different impression of the community here.. Everyone has been very kind to me in my ignorance, and even the folks with snarky or barbed responses have been either restrained or amusing about it.

    Apple Ii Emulation

    I would love to see an Apple II emulator. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to porting one as a first GP project.

    New Taiwanese LCD GP2 with White Bars

    Here's the important stuff that's still not compatible: gpCinema v2 - FAILED! - White bar =( OpenSNES9xGP - FAILED! - white bar - I'm working on fixing this but so far OS9XGP doesn't even compile. =( The important stuff that is now or always was compatible: Nester - Runs fine (but slow) fGEN...

    New Zx Spectrum Fans...

    From what I gather, the Spectrum appears to be a UK thing. Here in the US, it seems to have made its appearance as the USD$99.00 Timex-Sinclair, which was beyond all refutation a complete piece of crap. Mike is the man. I sent him a patch and the new version was up on his site in just a...

    List Of Apps/games/'brew Impacted By New Blu Lcd

    It turns out that Frodo doesn't link to the SDK. It has its own init code. So I just changed it and sent him the patch. Luckily it worked! I actually bought my BLU for this emulator, so I'm working on fixing LCD code for it now. Unfortunately, OS9Xgp was built in a very weird way, and the...

    Gp32 At Lik-sang Question

    If you buy a BLU from Lik Sang today you will get a "dodgy unit" -- the new BLU with the Taiwanese LCD, because that's the only thing Gamepark makes any more. Lik Sang does not offer proper Samsung LCD BLU units any more.

    Gpadvance [blu+fix]

    I don't know much about this emulator since until just last night it did nothing but give me a nasty white bar. Apparently it's not very compatible, but, hey, at least now it runs on your nice shiny "BLU+"

    White Bar Is Fixed Gpadvance

    Hey, it's something to play with! Alas, I know so little about GBA hardware that there's nothing useful I could contribute to the actual emulation.
