What a brilliant game :D You've done a lovely job on this Ruckage, it's every bit a professional product. Happy Birthday for Friday :)

Fortunately (with the exception of finding good backdrop images) they're very easy to make :D

Not a problem :D I actually just finished mine before I refreshed the forum, so it's a 'two for the price of one' thing I guess! Had a bugger of a time finding any image that really worked... I'm still not convinced, but there you go. Yours is great!

My reasoning was exactly the same. The Pandora had been on my radar long before I'd heard of the Caanoo, maybe even the Wiz, but the fact that every other thing I heard about it was 'next round of key mats going into production soon' or 'casing assembly for third batch should be done by...

Movie files (or episodes of TV shows) will blitz your space a lot quicker. An average movie might take up about 700mb at a decent quality level, perhaps 500mb if you knocked the resolution down. If you're planning to carry around a lot of video you'll definitely want a bigger card. I'm using a...

I'll get onto this when I'm home from work this evening :)

Bizarrely enough, Futurama was what I tried on mine. The video was seemingly all there, but huge sections of the image would be covered in macroblocking and distortion. I might try a few more files and see what I get.

Cheers for the update Notaz, love your work :)

I put an xvid AVI file on my Caanoo a few days ago to test the player and smearing/artifacting/distortion made it unwatchable. Sadly the 1.5.0 update hasn't made any difference.

Anything new to report on this one? GINGE seems like a brilliant project and I'd love to see it released for the Caanoo.

None of the new additions sounded particularly exciting, but in the spirit of staying up-to-date I've just run the upgrade. For those who're interested, it took almost exactly 10 mins, so be patient :)

From what I've been reading in other threads, rather than emulating the GP2X, GINGE provides the necessary code to enable GP2X software to run almost natively; that is to say a GP2X game under GINGE will run as fast as your actual physical hardware can run it, not as fast as your hardware can...

Wasn't the original Tyrian 320 x 200? That'd mean that only 40 pixels worth of height would be left blank, which is not at all bad compared to say, Gameboy Advance games, especially if it was 20 pixels at the top of the screen and 20 at the bottom. In any case, the game is great as it is...

Now THIS is awesome. Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, runs like a dream. Thanks a million for this ZX-81, you're a star. Quick question though, are the toggles for full-screen and scaling supposed to work? I wanted to check it out at original res, but options don't seem to change. Either...

Nicely done Thorax :) I've made a few on and off over the last week or so, and once I've built up a decent stockpile I'll chuck them on here and you can add them to the archive if you like.

I've heard reports that games like the original Duke Nukem trilogy and the Commander Keen games run very well, and I can recall someone saying that Duke 2 ran 'almost full-speed'. If games of that era, i.e. original Duke, Bio Menace, Keen, Secret Agent etc run well, that's more than enough...

Just took it for a spin, and it seems you're off to a great start! I like the art-style you've picked and the engine runs very nicely. Looking forward to seeing where this leads!

I too am very interested in Dosbox - is there a Caanoo port currently in progress, or is it something much further down the line? Additionally, is the performance something that can be improved (without an impractical amount of work), or would the spec you mentioned be about as much as the...

No worries Thorax :) Perhaps if we each keep chipping away at the various games in our own time we can eventually pile them all together on the file archive? If we double up on a few, then hey, more choice! And to everyone else, thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you like!

You can go ahead and save them to your harddrive any time you like! The files are already PNGs, so all you'll need to do is rename them to the correct file-names and drop them into your game folders.
