Ruckage's work was amazing, I really hope we'll see more of it someday. The GP2X homebrew gaming scene was pure magic, its 2007-2009 heyday has yet to be surpassed in my opinion. It was also at a time before smartphones and tablets were everywhere, so gaming handhelds attracted more people than...

Thanks notaz. I'm using this script to restore the user's preference afterwards (although it gets restored after a reboot anyway): #!/bin/sh export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=omapdss export SDL_OMAP_LAYER_SIZE=pixelperfect user_filter=$(head -n 1 /etc/pandora/conf/filter.state) sudo -n...

Great, thanks!

Hi Notaz, Is there a way to scale a 320x240 screen to 640x480 with nearest neighbour interpolation? The hardware scaling performance is amazing (better fps than on my laptop!), but the image looks a little blurry.

SDL_mixer might use libmikmod to play tracker music. I remember using libmikmod directly on the GP2X, bypassing SDL_mixer to avoid some bugs.

It boots noticeably faster! I usually shut down my Pandora when not in use because standby uses quite a bit of power, so this is great.

I don't think official GPH firmwares past 2.1.x have any improvements for F100 units (except boot slower and have a clumsy interface). Open2x has an official 2.1.x compatibility mode, so it's the best of both worlds. If you're flashing, just make sure to follow the instructions very carefully...

Is this a matter of needing to upgrade IP Board or is gp32x targeted by spammers?

I think the Flash player is a proprietary port GPH licensed to include in the Wiz firmware, it's not something you can just update yourself to the newest version like you would on a PC.

  Just a guess, but maybe some of the microswitches don't pop back up all the way after being pressed. Does the stick still make clicky noises for every direction you press? Maybe put a few drops of superglue on the stick to thicken it and help it reach those switches.

It will be interesting to see how long the GP scene will live on for, both in terms of people using these devices and new software coming out. Thanks to Notaz's GINGE and Ed's archives, it looks like this bit of history will be well preserved. :gp2x   And speaking of, didn't DJWillis show us the...

That can be a symptom of weak batteries. Try using a new pair that's marketed for high drain devices like digital cameras. For everyday use you want 2500mAh+ rechargeables.   That being said, I do remember people reporting that their GP32s no longer work after some years in storage, it could be...

Way to go Hardyx, seeing this made me very happy :)
