Thanks for your hard work on this, from what everybody says it sounds great. Does that mean you are not going to implement this feature any time soon? If so, that's fine but I'd like to know because it's my one essential feature. Thanks!

Sorry, I only recently started paying attention. Thanks for the info! It seems my work here is done :)

Dave, Epicenter seems to be saying that this logic board is basically unnecessary -- that virtually all software works flawlessly without it. Do you agree? If so, there's no point in increasing the complexity and cost of the kit.

One thing I'm not quite sure how to solve: With the Dpad, when you try to make a diagonal, it registers when two buttons are pushed. One of those will be pushed before the other one though (by maybe .01 - .05 seconds normally). The simplest approach would result in, for example, LEFT...

No, I'm sure Radek is not keeping secrets and I hope he is well or gets well if he isn't and that any and all aspects of his life go well for him. The only reason I'm pushing on this is that DaveC seems stalled because of an unfortunate circumstance and I'm trying to figure out how to fill in...

By suggesting that their time is better spent elsewhere. Let's take a parallel case. You recently posted about your accomplishment getting an alternate version of linux to compile for the gp2x. Now somebody might think "gee, only a handful of system geeks well ever care about this" and could...

Yeah, I know. It's not even so much a question of appreciation, I don't know that anybody should be grateful for a 512 byte pong game. But the idea that somebody would criticise these guys for doing something they enjoy because he doesn't think it's "useful" enough just bugs me. I wonder if...

Horizontal games has the scrolling playfield move horizontally. Vertical games have the movement going vertically. Often arcade games that scroll vertically have the monitor turned 90 degrees so they are taller than they are wide, that's why you might like to turn the gp2x to play them. By...

Hmm, now I'm confused. How can your thing work without Radek's chip? I assumed that your board had a socket for Radek's chip but maybe I'm wrong. What exactly would you need to get producing your kit in quantity? Edit: Ok, going back to look at your thread, your thing is in addition to...

I am pretty sure that the part Radek was using is a 16-pin DIP. I don't see how a 14-pin could have enough I/O pins. The thing is that DaveC already has a board design for Radek's chip, so the pinout at least has to be exactly the same, unless you're going to design your own Dpad mod (which...

Oh, I would also like to look into manufacturing a replacement for the QD pad itself -- it's not a very complicated piece of equipment. I'll start researching that. If anybody knows where to get the carbon stuff that makes the contact, please let me know. Edit: Oh wait, your solution uses...

Ok, instead of pursuing my own Dpad project I hereby volunteer to pitch in and help with yours. I will order a bunch of the chips, get a chip programmer, learn how to program it, and write the code. It shouldn't take me TOO long, most of the time will be spent waiting for stuff to be...

If your goal is to get people to stop learning about stuff and releasing things, you're well on your way. This one single post has convinced me to take a break from gp2x development for a while. Perhaps you can find something useful to do with your elite motivational skills. Edit to add...

If the PSP is better in every way, what do you use your gp2x for?

That's excellent! Still 512 bytes and includes sound! I have a lot to learn before I can get my 4k demo doing anything interesting, so far it's slow going. Hmm, if you guys can do pong in 512 bytes I bet a platform game could be done in 4k!

It's pretty rare for me to come across an RTF file just sitting out there... is there some community that publishes stuff in RTF?

I did read your last reply but I'm not sure why what you did would have the effect it did. I assume you have adapted the example code to feed the results of the decoding into SDL_mixer somehow -- I doubt it would work to have both my sample code accessing the sound hardware and SDL_mixer doing...

Yes, I have not had time yet to dive into this analysis, but I am hoping that your suggestion is exactly the problem some people are having. I say 'hoping' because it should be fixable. Both sides of the example code that I published can be much less hard on the memory bus when waiting for the...

I'm not a salesman, so I'm not going to "convince" you. I can answer some of your questions though. The majority of gp2x owners run Windows. It works fine. The answer to the legality question is always the same. Unless the creator/owner of a game or other program explicitly puts it out in...
