    Getting Started With Asm?

    yep, that was not the source of my 3-shifts-1-cycle penalty affirmation (as I've said before) I did not bought that cpu today, so hold on if you're still want arm timings page/spreadsheet, that core 2 duo is ultrageously expensive... :( anyway I don't think much people will avoid shifting...

    Getting Started With Asm?

    generating assembly output from C code: see gcc -s (or was it -S?) to use separate asm files: write a .s file (you can take a gcc-generated file to start with a working sample) and name every exported function as a .globl, in C you name it extern, so: extern helloworld(int dummy); shall point to...

    Getting Started With Asm?

    oh yeah sorry about that, I thought that you don't and still no speed gain for writing half of framebuffer?

    GP2X Installing Chrootable Gentoo On The Gp2x (guide)

    well, my cpu's broke when I was trying to adapt a peltier + cooler to it, so now I'm only worring about should I buy an athlon xp and keep on using socket 462 processor or should I upgrade to a newer and more expensive platform :P thanks for the help anyway, lets hope my possible next...

    Getting Started With Asm?

    ok, for all I care about arm assembly: shifts are free if you shift up to 3 at most, more than that take a whole cycle (don't ask me why, I was reading about arm timings and found that, also I'm not sure about which arm cpu was that as I don't recall) hammy_lite is (now) right, you can load...

    Converting To Ext2 Sd Cards

    Well, both problems can be addressed by passing mount options, I think... I don't recall exactly, and my computer's broken so I cannot check this out, but there are some options to mount to use relaxed filesystem permissions, so filesystem will allow open A.out when there's only a.out file on...

    GP2X Installing Chrootable Gentoo On The Gp2x (guide)

    Í've already patched g_ether, since week 1 with my gp2x if I boot up a live distro I'm capable of networking with the gp2x, I'm just not sure now because I had recently a mother board changed and have bigger problems to address now (I still got no sound on my desktop!) :P the kernel module...

    GP2X Installing Chrootable Gentoo On The Gp2x (guide)

    I run Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.17.9 that's weird that usbnet loads but don't come up with a usbX or ethX network interface (even more strange that I remember that it worked sometime ago... I think the problem is my new motherboard) I'll be upgrading to the newer slackware release very...

    GP2X Installing Chrootable Gentoo On The Gp2x (guide)

    Oh yeah, sorry, I did not put much belief on that answer about x11... even why that guy throw the guilt of low system resources to other applications, not x11, that was quite weird... Anyway, just curious: what you guys run in x11 on gp2x? I'm now thinking about giving it a try, but usbnet don't...

    Converting To Ext2 Sd Cards

    how about making a ext2 image file (dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sd/bla.ext2 bs=1M count=%number-of-megabytes-for-filesystem%) && (mkext2fs bla.ext2) and mounting it on /mnt/ext instead? If you wanna take the whole space in your sd, it's up to you, as soon as someone delete that file all your...

    GP2X Installing Chrootable Gentoo On The Gp2x (guide)

    Woah, easy... Installing gentoo in gp2x will not make you capable of using all software disponible, just the arm-based binaries, and still, there are a lot of things that need a keyboard, mouse or use X11 interface which will make you have to use x11 for gp2x (I think that's rather slow, but...

    Few Questions Before I Buy One.

    Do your firmware applications hang all the time? Mine hangs all the time... I mean, any emulator besides Squidgesnes when in menu (still it just segfaults, so using a wrapper solves the problem) don't hang at all But when I try to use built in video player I can count minutes in a single hand...

    Gp2x11

    I think that most people is afraid to try that because of the (supposed) sluggish performance it would have (myself included on these) someday perhaps people will have usb keyb/mouse attached, then X11 will be the best choice of usage, as text terminal in 320x240 is quite small

    Snes Emulation On The Gp2x - Newbie Seeks Views

    NES emulation is possible in standard speed (but I think that it's still quite slow if compared to master system) SNES takes a lot of overclock (which is unknown to rate until you buy a unit) and certainly psp is better sega emulation is all setup, and you can play mega drive even underclocked...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    and probably, for now on, rlyeh don't complain; these are the secret rules in the gp2x social mafia, you'd never dismiss rlyeh, notaz and some other guys (period). he's like.. chuck norris coding on an arm processor :ph34r:

    System Calls Reference Doc

    that's the way but remember that on x86 things are not like that on x86 you'll have to call int 80h passing the function number on register eax, and I don't know if function numbers are identical from x86's eax to arm's swi interface so if you wan't to compile something for gp2x and still...

    GP2X Porting Applcations In General (makefiles)

    well, AFAIK visual studio uses by default the .vcproj file extension and have nmake just to be compatible with the rest of the world, that sucks because only people with visual studio (and perhaps only with the same version as yours or newer) will be able to compile that program also, makefile...

    Any News On Megacd Emulation?

    I think it's barely possible, still I doubt someone could accomplish that still in this life, still in a perfect world it could be possible to emulate, we 'just' have to use a dynarec for both 68k CPUs and the second core for all audio (including mp3 decoding for cdda emulation besides 10...

    8 Gig Sd Cards Would These Work?

    as far as I know my Linux (which works with a standard 2.6 kernel) the problem of writing ntfs on Linux is that it's not capable of (somewhat) updating the allocation table (like a FAT, but not on a fat-fs), so you're able to write/modify any file as long as the final size of the file is neither...

    Current D-pad Options

    I've made once a program for a microcontroller capable of addressing all joy-related differences (centre push and diagonals) but so far I have not made a D-Pad mod (I've bough new joy caps but still I'm still having problems with the joy) so I've never tested it outside a breadboard environment...
