Nice release, I never heard of the game until now but I have been playing Etrian Odyssey on the DS non stop the past week and this is kinda similar. It is also a style of game I have been thinking about coding after my current project.
Quick post to say you have one month left until the deadline of July 7th 2007 at 23:59:59. Full details of the competition can be found on the new official site at http://gbax.gp2x.de/ which also contains all the entries and results for the previous years competitions.
I am using mmuhack on a game I am working on, its only to get a FPS increase on the menus as I was also alpha blending a large sprite as a menu background. The increase was significant, it was ~20 FPS before and then around double that after if I remember right, and it only involves a few...
I don't see any harm in entering it but to be honest I probably wont judge it as I do not want to flash my firmware. Craig will probably judge it though.
opening a discussion topic about your entry is fine, same with screen shots, videos etc, providing its not a public download release of your entry its ok.
Lowering the Hz is an option but I don't see why we should, take for example the music player in Squares which played music found on the GP2X, I would bet most music on your SD Card is 44,000Hz.
Alex - I will look into SDL_mixer for playback. 111 vs 83 and 96 FPS is a massive improvement...
Since I started coding on the GP2X I have noticed that the main SDL development area is the graphics side of things such as the Hardware SDL support by Payern. This is great, but now we have a bottleneck (in my opinion) with the audio side with music playback.
I have been testing MP3, OGG and...
I have a test version of Squares that had support for up to 3 players (can do 4 easily) using USB joypads but as there wasn't many people with bobs it was more of a test version just to see it working rather than make it properly playable. If there's plenty of demand I could spend the next two...
There's no plans to change the end date of competition, someone will always want a different date to what we set it at. i.e. I am away on holiday, can you make it two weeks longer etc. :) gp2x coders may have had an extra few weeks as we announced the compo when asking for the splash screens...
Welcome to GBAX2007, the biggest handheld coding competition on earth, joint run by http://www.gp2x.co.uk and http://www.emuholic.com/. This is our 5th year and we hope it will be the biggest ever! During the last 5 years we have given away thousands of dollars in prizes, have had over 200...
Compo should be starting this Sunday, if you have the time and its possible could you please update your splash screens to remove PSP images or text from it. Sorry for messing everyone around but sods law that my PSP had to break now.
[UPDATE] We should be able to get some PSPs so hopefully...
Sorry for late reply, been very busy recently. The compo is still going ahead but due to my PSP breaking last week we have decided that PSP will be dropped from the compo. I wont be able to judge it (not looking to buy another) and Craig was going to buy one as he didn't have one. So its easier...
