Welcome!! I think you are using the SDL libraries for PC (x86) from /usr/local/lib. You must use the SDL libraries in the toolchain (/opt/arm-openwiz-linux-gnu/bin/../lib) wich not have VFP and are compiled for ARM processor. You must to call the toolchain's 'sdl-config' command. Use an...

Game and applications in the "Game" folder Music files in the "Music" folder. Movie files in the "Movie" folder. Text files in the "Ebook" folder. Image files in the "Photo" folder. You can enter in the menu options you use and the folders will be created in the SD card.

Hello, Check that you are not launching GP2X applications instead Wiz applications. They have the same format, but they are not compatible (in most cases), because emulator programmers use the hardware directly and the hardware is different.

This works good in libcastor but not in SDL, because SDL is not notified of the screen orientation change. I ask if current SDL in Wiz can support vertical screen size (240x320).

I try to initialize 240x320 graphics mode with SDL but fails in Wiz. I'm using firmware 1.0.1. Is this fixed in firmware 1.1.0 libraries o I'm doing some mistake?

Depends what do you want to do with it. Wiz is very portable and emulates almost all 8 and 16 bits systems very good. It has a great community developing native games and applicatios too. Pandora is more powerful and has many extras like bluetooth, wifi, 2 SD slots and keyboard. It has many...

Probably you need the bios files of the machine emulated. Depends on the arcade system. Use the MAME 0.37b5 romset, because this is the emulator version. You can find the games supported in the included gamelist.txt file.

Verify that you are not using patched roms, like files used in Supercard.

- Modern, OpenGL ES based UI Wiz supports users created menu like GMenu. But, I think that a more complex interface like 3D give less memory to programs. - Ability to create quick launch icons for games/apps You can use IniMaker, scans your SD card automatically and creates icons. - Cradle...

The first archive is the official GP2X SDK, modified to work in the Wiz I think. This is old and it isn't the openwiz toolchain. You can use the tricks said in this post. Only works in the console if you compile using dynamic libraries, and the gcc compiler included not supports the flags for...

Thanks for you comments and testing of Reader2x. I'm working in a new version and fixing some bugs. I have to review and test the things that you say in the program. I can answer to you some things now. - Only Palmdoc PDB's are supported in current version, they can have many subformats. -...

Check this post, to see some tests with USB devices and Wiz. Here is the first homebrew cradle for Wiz.

Usb host is for connect USB devices (keyboard, pendrive, mouse, ...) to the Wiz EXT port. Autorun is for execute an external menu in SD at boot (like Gmenu). Settings are explained in Wiz user's manual, page 40. (in the Wiz companion CD)

From the Manual included in the emulator:

Emulators often needs a bios file that is the software of the emulated machine. You need to put the roms in a directory with a specific name too. You need to search this files yourself, or use a converter in the original machine. This things come explained in the manual readme.txt.. If you find...

I want to contribute to FAQ and answer to some of the questions. - Where is the SDK? - When will the SDK be released? They are working in it. I think they release before Christmas. - Which toolchain should I use in the meantime? You can use the openwiz toolchain for Linux, or GP2X SDK...

I think you are talking about the EXT connector, it's the same used in GP2X. Is a 24 pins connector used by Samsung and LG phones. You can see more info here, but the connections are a bit different in Wiz.

In this page you can see the emulators available for Wiz and GP2X consoles. They have a readme file with detailed instructions of how to use.

I think you can point the executable in other folder like /dosbox/dosbox.gpe from the .ini file. Or you can use a script with .gpu extension to launch from game folder. You can create all the .ini files in the Wiz with IniMaker.

Some things that you must to know. Most of this can apply to all open source consoles that we can see. - The Wiz not pretends replace another commercial consoles. - GPH is a hardware company, they not make games or emulators. - Homebrew software are offered free and with no warranty. - The best...
