7day are based in guernsey and as such their prices do not include import duty, VAT etc - god bless them :) I order all my digital media/batteries from them.

Uhm... you just created an array of 10 char* pointers. char *fubar; fubar=(char*)malloc(10); snprintf...; free(fubar); OR char fubar[10]; memset(fubar,'\0',10); snprintf(fubar, 9, "%u", my_uint32); otherwise compilation will fail for invalid conversion of char** to char*

If you're concerned about speed disadvantages of linking against libstdc++ then there are ways around it. As you said - you can use structs and inline functions specifically coded to handle certain jobs. Remember to pass your struct members in by reference specifically (ie a mem address...

If you're already a competent programmer in C then you're half way there, you just need to get your head around how OO works. Think of calling function pointers from within a union/struct, and you'll get there pretty quickly (assuming you've done that before). If you're after references for...

Might be a little late by now .... but if you're coding in C++ and have the STL available you can use a C++ stringstream. #include <iostream> #include <sstream> int main(void) { std::stringstream my_ss; long i = 1000L; my_ss << i; std::cout << my_ss.str().c_str() << std::endl...

It's stable at least. Win2k and onwards are stable as they can be, unfortunately it's buggy and exploit ridden rubbish such as explorer that let's MS down in a huge way. As far as AD is concerned, I'm glad I don't have to use it - as a programmer the interface is horrible and convoluted to use...

I have the transformers theme tune playing around in a loop in my head now. Damn you :lol:

I'd have to agree with that but without the crude language :) Vista will have certain elements rewritten but a large amount of the code will be re-used from previous releases, as Epicenter said you don't write something as huge and complex like Vista completely from scratch in such a short time...

That's true enough .... cameras do it (well, cameras that use AA's anyway). Heh - yeah, me too - 6 AA's - awesome :D

I can understand people's frustrations with the stick. However, I don't have a problem with using it at all. It did feel a little odd first in that physically it's like an analogue stick, but behaves like a digital - but once I got used to it it's fine. I must say though, that the NGPC...

Currently playing ... ScummVM: Monkey Island 1 (Shall be trying Broken Sword later) OutaST: Mouse Trap - cracking little game :) DrMD: Sonic 1. Nostalgia overload :D Homebrew: Vektar demo (until I can buy the full version), Nebulus (great!) and Rick Dangerous (again, Nostalgia overload :D )

I'd have to agree with that - people being so secretive about their salaries (mainly so as not to upset people who they know are earning less but are no better or worse at the job) is counter productive, and companies encourage their employees to keep their salaries to themselves. FWIW I earn...

Must admit a D-pad (done properly) would be cool - but I'm ok with this one as it is ... maybe that's because I've not really tried street fighter 2 much yet ;)

The joypad is fine for me ... it comes down to personal preference really.

Yep. VAT - 17.5%

That sounds cool - where did you get it from?

Joystick is adequate, no real quibbles from me about it right now though I do have the option of using the alternate one that was sent out by gp2x.co.uk if I suddenly decide I don't like what's on there right now. Not tried it with headphones yet nor have I used it for playing mp3s in general...

Royal mail tried to deliver mine yesterday but nobody was in so went and picked it up from the sorting office this morning (with 2600mAh rechargables with me of course). I'm very very impressed with it - gp2x.co.uk shipped it out with 2.1.0 firmware pre-loaded and a copy of the vektar demo on...

Hi all. Ordered mine on Wednesday through gp2x.co.uk - got an email saying there is a 2-5 day delay in shipping the unit, which seems reasonable enough to me - I just hope it gets here before christmas! Quick question though - has anybody had any success with the ScummVM emulator?
