    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Eh well I would simply replace the volume buttons with generic buttons and have a volume wheel. I agree with pretty much everything else Alex said, though I would prefer built in wifi. I rather spend 10E more than 30e for an sd Wifi card. Two SD slots would be great. I would also say an actual...

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Hmm actually I quite like this design, and it's certainly different. And Dave, you're quite right it wouldn't have to be widescreen - as you know my preference it for 4:3. It could even be used as a switch over method, i.e you would have two separate Li or AA battery packs, so that it would be...

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Hmm if it was widescreen then there might be enough 'hand space' on either side of such a 4xAA battery pack, with the added benefit that it could be thin if you used a LI-ion pack. Then if you included a usb contact you could produce all manner of add-on packs. HD/Li-ion pack, Extra Sd and...

    Well its just kinda bulky don't you think? I mean its totally possible, but it would be like the original Gameboy again... No? I just had an idea... couldn't one use a Li-ion battery pack that would clip on the back, and use a certain set of contacts, and have a 4AA battery pack that used...

    Agreed! As to why there isn't a standard with Li-ion as there is for other chemistries I don't know. But I hate stupid custom batteries that wear out in a year or so! Not to mention the fact that no two ways about it Li-ion is more dangerous than ni-mh or ni-cd. I can't believe they can get away...

    I believe the rather generic formula I was thinking of must involve(or make an assumption of) the proportionality between clock speed and current draw also - which would sort of stand to reason. Anyway we have successfully debunked the ez80 enough that GPH would never consider it - not that they...

    New Port : Egoboo2x

    No problem, though I'm not sure I really helped at all. @namco; I'm running 2.1.0 I'm not sure if that makes a difference though. Maybe try what Fez did. With the amount of files to be transferred it stands to reason that there's greater possibility of corruption occurring. Also a word of...

    32-bit z80??? I can't find one.. Does such a thing really exist?? Not done by Zilog anyway. Most serious thing appears to be this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_eZ80

    New Port : Egoboo2x

    Hmm perhaps its a corrupt file, or your firmware version? I'm sure you've thought of all the many possibilities by now though..

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Mmm 4 z80's for the power consumption of one 300mhz processor (very very roughly) - you know you want to... :) No I don't think it would sell at all... Maybe in five years time... I'm thinking and array of 10 or so.... Edit; or is it a cube law?? Edit again; Nope the power consumption is...

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Yes we could go the route of fully embracing a multi core architecture, with added benefits of increased battery life, one could stick with AA cells then, and it would be highly flexible. On the negative side, it could make development a bit more difficult. However that is the future of computer...

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Eh if we give it a few years it'll be cheaper. I reckon we've at least got another two years before the Gp2x really becomes stale - though probably less if people keep running around stuffing PSPs under the devs' noses. They're bound to give in to the temptation of more power. Btw after having...

    New Port : Egoboo2x

    Have you set it to use gpu940_225 instead of gpu940 (clocks to 240 on the 940T)? If not that's more likely the problem than the main processor. Edit; Also the memory/timing tweaks might be too aggressive, I just removed all those for my "slow" gpe of egoboo.

    The Next Gp*x Revision

    At that price I would forget console and get this; http://www.dynamism.com/sa1/main.shtml With the great addition that you can use it standing up, just like a portable console. On the negative side GBA would look quite bad scaled to that screen. :) I'm thinking portable PSX, plus a few older pc...

    New Port : Egoboo2x

    This seems really great. Runs fairly smooth too. And even on lower clock speed settings (choppier, but I've played games through on my PC that were worse). Its the first thing that I've put on the Gp2x that has incited my little brother to steal my gp2x. A great effort and wonderful proof of...

    Free Sdio-stack Available

    It certainly would be useful, of course it might be possible to stream things over to wifi. Even run games, if you have a server at home. Also I have a 20e Mp3 player with card reader that can connect to the Gp2x straight off as a external storage device, though now that I think about it I'm...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    If the truth be told there probably aren't many games 'worth' running. I think just about everything else had better games at the time. There's loads of platformer games like Duke Nukem 1 and 2, as prime examples. 2d shooters like tyrian/raptor. As regards strategy there's Warcraft and Command...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    Oh cool! Yay for Dosbox! Or am I the only one who grew up with a 486 computer instead of a playstation? Anyway I'd love to see some progress on this, it's really quite slow and sound emulation is a no no at the moment. It does run a good pile of games though. I can even run my turbo pascal...

    Video Problems

    I would say upgrade to 2.1 or 2.1.1. the issue does exist with 2.0.0. I don't think its a problem in 2.1 or at least it is more stable. I haven't tried 2.1.1 so I can't really recommend it. Also if your videos are high enough resolution/bitrate you might need to leave the cpu on full/normal...

    2d Scrolling Shooters

    You could try out tyrian2000 either on dosbox or gameboy version - two completely differnet games really but both equally fun. Btw tyrian on dosbox is... leisurely, not unplayable but not as fast as it should be. link ; http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/downloads.html There's a...
