so has anyone got and tried out one of these new cables from craigx yet? if so, any feedback? is it good? if they're ok i might be tempted to get one. edit: gah! i'm too slow! just noticed the review in the new thread

yep. that was my reasoning, exactly. If you're going to have plain rgb channels in 8 bits, then the best compromise is 3-bits red, 3-bits-green and 2-bits blue (as our eyes are less sensitive to blue levels, i think?), but that is so sub-optimal and screws up so much other stuff, that its not...

well, this might help, possibly... in the past I have experimented with a fixed-256-colour 8 bit palette, and I came up with a very very useful scheme which was this: 2-bits red, 2-bits green, 2-bits blue, 2-bits 'luminance' the 'luminance' worked like this (am going from memory here, but...

eauurgh. so 192 kbps sounds hardly better than 32 kbps? maybe you should stop listening to it underwater? :lol: Yeah, fluffypanda, I agree: death to closed file-formats! hooray for mp3 and ogg!

yeah. up until the point at which you start removing components, and soldering in a new power switch. that might be a step too far :D

thanxs guys. I think I am going to make a little umount script to run from utilities so, i can make a text file called umount.gpu with the line: umount /mnt/sd is that all I need? Will this really do it? The man pages (on the pc I'm logged into at the moment) for umount says: so do I need...

Basically I'm using Win98 so to copy files to my SD card I have to use a separate card reader. No problemo. However, I always switch off the gp2x before taking the card out, copy files onto it, put SD card back into gp2x, and THEN switch the gp2x back on. Is this really necessary? or is it...

wow! this is a great port :) a extra point to note, for anyone still having trouble running this, the roms NOW go in {PATH}/handygp2x/ rather than {PATH}/handy/roms/ which it was before. is there any intention at some point to add dir browse ability, so that I can stick my roms back into...

thought I'd stick my oar into this pointless debate ;) most of the hardware quality features vs price thing balances out pretty well between the two. it all comes down to whether you want to play: a. wipeout and gta, etc. - get a psp or... b. noiz2sa and gauntlet (and nebulus and...) -...

yup. that's it all right. I can confirm I've had Gauntlet I and II running fine once I'm using the correct version of the rom.

and, when someone DOES have a genuine problem, they need to carefully explain the situation exactly, rather than: "i can't load any games" <_< , so that others can offer actual helpful advice: ie: - what rom (if it's an emu) is being loaded - which filenames are used - which directories have...

i would guess that the gp2x requires a steady regular power supply with no wobbles. sourcing this directly from a solar cell sounds problematic! easiest way to do this is to 'cheat', and use one of the solar-powered chargers available from greenshop.co.uk or somewhere like that. so your spare...

sound is great. compatibility is awesome. speed is not quite there for some games (eg. Hunters Moon)

this is really excellent! and i love the fact that you are generating your own grids rather than loading pre-stored ones. great!

that's great news. btw, sorry about the insanity/idiotness. guilty as charged. I was probably about a 5 on the 'brain not working' scale :lol: was trying to keep the thread on track but it just seemed to go a bit mental. this guy just kept bouncing back more and more ridiculous statements, and...

interesting idea! by "4-bit sprite" you are talking about a sprite with a 16-colour palette? i guess you would have to do some bitwise operations to combine/separate the variables, to be able to store two into a byte. i'm not up on asm but in c++ you would have to do something like: char a...

thanks to evening2005 for re-clarifying some of the issues. abigsmurf, in light of the previous few posts that statement no longer stands up to scrutiny. you seem to have a lot of info on the subject, and it seems to contradict a lot of other peoples' info. plus you're selectively ignoring each...

i'm not even going to leave any of your post in the quote. EVERYTHING you just said has ALREADY been covered or shown to be invalid by this thread, for example they've been offered free bandwith. look, stop it. its just not funny anymore.

except for Hunters Moon :)

exactly. this isn't about copyright. gah!!! how many more times? I suppose its a subtle difference between copyright, which is ownership rights, and the gpl which is about protected freedom rights, ie: the protection AGAINST ownership, but really, its not THAT hard to understand. abigsmurf...
