    Squidge's Mmu Hack: Discovery Of The Month :)

    Zelda is a sissy game anyway, why bother? ;) I prefer platformers in 2D too, it's perhaps my deviation from 8-bit microcomputers era. And GP2x is very adept to be an excellent machine for 2D games.

    The Need For Linux In The Gp2x

    From gaming standpoint? It's irrevelant as games aren't polling user input faster than refresh rate. So there is nothing what would be warranting rtos type of perfomance. The part about lower memory usage is more interesting.

    Who's Dev'ing For This Machine?

    Point is a possible ease of doing it. The screen resolution and CPU are the same as in the GP2x. So not much changes would be needed for most apps. It's far better overall than say the GB Micro (but of course Nintendo has games). I'm not going to buy one if they show eventually. But imho this...

    Nintendo Wii Low Down...

    Historically PSX would dominate Saturn thanks to its far simplier, developers friendly architecture. So more games were showing on PSX and game ended. PS2 was much more difficult to code but Sony was then an established entity in a console business. Sega was getting weak though DreamCast was...

    Nintendo Wii Low Down...

    But then such machines were much novel than PS3 or XB360 are now imho. Cost is very important and with inherit Nintendo's games library... Nintedno will have a very good success with Wii.

    Superb! But what about an autofire? :unsure:

    Not Allowed To Drink

    Well.. it shouldn't be but the ethanol is a powerfull drug itself. We are species driven by drugs - some what are our own bodies are producing, some what we are artificially injecting (an alcohol is a prime example). And there are cases where alcohol intoxication has to be treated by other drug...

    The Need For Linux In The Gp2x

    Be "hitting hardware directly" we mean not using Linux (even kernel) entirely or just using hardware (read/write to them) registers of MMSP2 chipset? If it's the latter then it can be done under Linux on GP2x. And there is an excellent topic about it on the dev forum. Plus Linux kernel isn't...

    Not Allowed To Drink

    Don't. It's a very potent neuroleptic with possible results in Tardive dyskinesia after prolonged use. Even a worst hangover is nothing in a comparison and will not last for rest of your life like the Tardive dyskinesia is. I was thinking about posting a picture of persons who were getting...

    Not Allowed To Drink

    It's working on congeners (as wrote in FAQ) so it's effectiveness should strongly depends on a beverage type. The dehydrating effect of ethanol and it's metabolism into acetaldehyde and acetate is a major cause of a hangover. Was it effective after drinking a clear vodka? edit: There is also...

    The Need For Linux In The Gp2x

    The point is the same as having an os on machine like PC. To allow higher level abstraction to ease porting and developing of software. There were some quick (and often not optimal) ports to GP2x at the beginning. Without Linux they couldn't show so fast. It's like an infrastructure what was...

    Who's Dev'ing For This Machine?

    As long a machine has 320x240 screen and Arm CPU (and the mini has) it will not be that different than GP2x for most apps. Spec wise the mini is making most sense of all GP models.

    Not Allowed To Drink

    A nonsense. Everyone talk like that. Russian supposedly developed one (for for KGB-ish purposes) the "RU-21" but I never tested it (it can be bought rather easily). I personally doubt it's effective. I know effective drugs what will ease hangover but you don't want them to try. Unless you...

    GP2X Use Of The Video Processor As An Fpu?

    It's more like a stream processor of what I could understand from docs. You have some functional blocks for (DCT for an example) and data flow between those blocks can be changed. It's main function of 940T core when doing video playback. It's controlling the VP and its flow. That's depends -...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    You will get reviews first of course! As I'm confident in this mod I don't impose it's perfect. That's why I'm going to send samples first. (converter parts are already in some persons' hands)

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    I can not make any updates because as I can not improve (using available to me means) it further. Only one thing what I'm going to do is to make the converter circuit what would fit MKII. The final mod looks like: For a mod I will ship first complete kits in Monday to some person. And I'm...

    Not Allowed To Drink

    In my local area - to my surprise one place can have it from time to time. Had to reduce drinking it becaue I was starting to like it too much. :rolleyes: (you can find some venders http://www.wormwoodsociety.org/) There are some myths because of minimal content of thujone in Absinthe. But in a...

    Not Allowed To Drink

    Bah... nothing beats The Absinthe! The color, high alcohol content plus taste of wormwood it's making a perfect beverage to get drunk. I like Campari to companion Absinthe too. And for a hangover - just buy more bottles in an advance. ;)
