Fantastic! Seriously, I just played a couple of games. It feels pretty polished already, I'd like to see where it goes from here. If I had one negative observation it's that the sprites look a bit too bright and shiny to me, for some reason, but I'm sure someone else will disagree with that...

We need them all! But AKA NOID X takes my vote.

Wow. These are seriously awesome. IMO: Debris has the best 'production values' of them, it feels really shiny and well put together... until it just stops, which is pretty anticlimactic. A scroller at the end might've made it feel a little less abrupt. Code Alone - that's a clever trick with...

I'm having this problem too, with an Xvid file which plays on the regular mplayer, although crashes occasionally. Is this new version of the movie player supposed to support all the codecs of the original as well as the new ones? Thanks.

I thought it was "doing" them... ahem.

You might have more luck on the Ubuntu forums - lotsa friendly people on there. Describe it as a problem with a USB mass storage device not being detected. If you're lucky they'll help you to provide them with some diagnostic info. You might need to add support to your kernel if you've got some...

I think Dasher would be sweet on the GP2x. I had a go at hacking together a rough implementation myself about a week back but ran into issues, mainly due to not really looking at the existing ports for a decent idea of -how- to implement the structure required by the core. Dasher is broken into...

Torpor, congratulations on your setup, that is awesome. I've ordered a phone connector from local shop and I'm going to try and build a cable in the next few days. Do you mind me PMing you if I have any questions?

Wow. Yeah this is possibly my favourite interface to Nethack, though I would've previously said anything other than text-mode Nethack is for wimps. ;) It looks as though a problem I encountered in version 0.3 has been fixed - I managed to coax the game to hang when the menu drew beyond the edge...

I'm in Australia, I can view the site and my ISP DOES block that list of sites, so that isn't it. You can take the tin-foil hats off for the moment. ;) Awesome looking screenshots. I'm looking forward to a demo!

I got a cd with my mk2, from Play-Asia. Haven't looked on it though. I'm using a noname 2 GB card in mine with no troubles.

I have the same problem during video playback with FW2.0. Random pauses which seem to 'freeze' the video player - you can open and close the menu but can't pause, unpause, ffwd or rewind the video. Can't return to the menu, only solution is to reboot and try again. I've just reencoded a movie...

Alright, thanks for the opinions. I was coming to the same conclusion, re: fixed point. I think I'll start with the soft-floats and see how it goes. If I keep my code modular enough I shouldn't paint myself into a corner.. much. ;)

I hacked together a really quick and nasty raycaster one night a week or so back, using SDL. It was basically just a test to see if my toolchain was working, so I was pretty slack. Gratuitous use of glibc's math functions, totally inefficient line drawing algorithm and about 20 float local...

What sort of artwork are you comfortable with? Pixel-pushin' 2D sprites? Prerendered 3D? Realtime low poly 3D models?

Perhaps you want something like a USB to Serial converter? Google found me this: http://www.mrgadget.com.au/catalog/targus-...able-p-477.html But I guess then you'll need to adjust your code to work with USB output intead of a serial port. Haven't done any of that sort of programming before...

Yep, and they should all come with an "execute on quit" command in their cfg, for those people who aren't running from the GPH menu. Hardcoding a return to the main menu is a real cludge.

I think once the programs mature a bit it won't be a problem. IMO config driven is the way to go, but programmers should be adding options to their programs which make adding (for example) ROM directories to the config file easy. Also, if programs accepted command-line filenames a standardised...

To elaborate, (seems redundant given the number of threads I've spammed) My GP2x arrived last week after being on back order with Play Asia for a couple of weeks, and a slight f*#karound with Lik-Sang before that,though LS were very helpful and polite and I'm not in any way trying to impact on...

Heh, yeah. where the f*#k were you a few weeks ago?! :P Ditto on the TV cable. Where are you located in Oz, for shipping purposes?
