There's nothing wrong with firmware 3. If things didn't run then you've either got a problem with your sd card or the gp2x hardware itself.

Nope. An emulator was being developed, but I don't know if it will ever run on the gp2x.

A little correction - QUOTE Linux has virtually no overhead, but there is also SDK2x which lets you get to the metal of the machine.

Stick \n (newline) on the end of your printf's 'printf("hello\n")' or use puts instead. That might do it.

Try 'killall -9 gp2xmenu' to get rid of the menu (otherwise it's still running in the background), but even without that if you're using printf you should get some output.

If you're actually writing out debug info with printf, then using 'cd /mnt/sd/path/to/app' followed by './appname.gpe' will run the app and dump any output to the console.

Why close one thread just to open an identical one? :blink:

Just because X11 is being included doesn't mean it's the standard interface. gmenu2x is the current launcher.

Windows games don't run on the gp2x. Any old games you can play have either been ported to the gp2x from the original source code, re-written from scratch, or they're being played through emulators. In the case of Quake, Doom, Wolf3d etc they have been ported from the original source which was...

But if everyone is writing exciting new games, how will davec get his precious emulators :o

1. Downgrading is generally considered a bad thing to do. Ignore anything people may say about 2.x being quicker etc because what's more important - having a system that works but is a fraction slower at booting, or risking a brick for hardly any benefit. 3. The gp2x already comes with SDL...

humyo.com is good for backups. Completely free at the moment, don't know if/when they'll start charging.

That's not new information, it's just what we already know (800x480) combined with what some people are guessing (MMSP2+).

Apps that touch the hardware directly are unlikely to be backwards compatible without a simple recompile I'd guess, and that means most apps. That will probably change once apps start being written for open2x because then we can dynamically link to libs and still use the latest compilers...
