I could play through those classics again, preferable with sound and speach if it's possible to find. I remeber when I bought the Lucas Arts Archive vol1 for my Mac and enjoyed playing games like Sam & Max and DOTT with speach. Quite a pain to play with a joystick though but I guess I don't mind...

Should point out that I plan to develp commercially for GP2X next year. Thanks for the Zelda Classic link, looks interesting :) I remember when me and an old firend of mine played it through 5 times in a row on NES, no emu :D

Playing H.264 videos requires a lot of power so I don't think we will be able to play them, at least not in any respectable frame rates. I don't know about lower resolutions though. The thing with H.264 is that it's so hard compressed that you get a lot better quality for the same file size.

As Pea says, most of us are sceptical until we see some work. There's a lot of people who talk first but can't deliver. I have no reason to not trust that you have some nice stuff to show so I'm eager to see what you got. It's not really what you show that's important as long as you show stuff...

What we need to look around for is a device with an LCD screen so that it can actually browse files and folders, with or without a HDD. Or if anyone can find an USB SDIO card with host mode.

Playing in bed is like a totally different thing from sitting in front of a PC. I'll probably spend like 90% of my GP2X time in bed, it's so many times better then a laptop :)

There are local used game shops with SNES units everywhere... sure <_<

So it's possible to code a completly new menu if you want to? That would be so cool, what I have the time B) Would be nice to see what kind of menus people can do.

I don't know but since every menu have it's own background color it may be possible to have a separate background for each menu.

I think there are USB hubs with host mode built in, I'm not sure if those could be used.

GP2X have no USB host because it has separate USB 2.0 slave hardware so unless you open it up and remove that chip and connect the Magic chipset directly to the USB port you won't ever get USB host in it. If anyone can find a SDIO card with USB host then it may be possible.

2D games shouldn't be any problems on GP2X and we have seen some 3D as well. It's hard to compare power between the units. GP2X uses 2x200MHz ARM UPUs that have 2D acceleration but no FPU. And who knows how much power the OS of each system consumes, but there seems to be ways to have the GP2X...

Show some stuff, I'm interested. GUIs are the last thing on my mind though as I do pretty well on that part myself.

Would be even nicer with scripts but this isn't bad.

The original Marathon didn't have any autoaim for any version and it's gonna be hard hitting a flying object without autoaim, actually it's gonna be hard to even figure out where flying objects are without constantly looking up. And it's annoying to hit something above you with a rocket launcher...

I would be interested to see what you have done so far with graphics. I use Lightwave myself so to me it's great that you also use it. I may be interested in working with you later but I'm not gonna start dev for GP2X until early next year and I'm also starting with simpler games. Good graphics...

Ok, but I don't think it's an important feature in Marathon as you got the radar anyway and they are not sneak'em ups so there's usually no problems if you get noticed as you are gonna shoot down everything anyway. There's however a slight problem, it's gonna be a bit tricky to strafe and move...

Man, talk about completly going off topic. At least keep the dev board on topic please.

The first System Shock kinda sucked due to it's horrible controll system. System Shock 2 however is one of the best FPS games ever, there's even a project working on improving the model quality that looks kinda cool.

Infinity controlls are Look 4, Movement 4, glance 2, triggers 2, change weapon 2, run, activate and menu. That's all IIRC. So the stick for look, thumb buttons to move, shoulders to fire, stick button to run, select to activate and volume button to change weapons and start for menu you should do...
