    Wiz Performance Not As Expected?

    Ok, the reason my WIZ was slow in MAME is that I had enabled the option to fix the diagonal tearing. I probably have to live without it atm. But now, also compared to the GP2X with the same options, it is quite faster. My mistake.

    Wiz Performance Not As Expected?

    Maybe it depends on the game with MAME. I tried yesterday play Street Fighter both on GP2X at 270Mhz and WIZ at 800Mhz. It seemed faster on the first and on the second some slow downs were noticable (My firmware is still 1.0. When I heared some emuls don't work with update firmwares, I said I...

    Caanoo / WIZ Demistifying the screen tearing issue

    I am trying to understand what this tearing thing is (and there aren't windows toolchain yet to try out some test, maybe I'll boot up some linux soon and see). The screen is retraced vertically thing, is it like GP32 (back to the past?) where writting serially to the video ram would result on...

    Anyone working on anything

    It's greater there is even a GP32 section here :) Seriously, my favorite handheld, maybe nostalgy. I'd like to work on something but it died on me. It's 5 years since I got it. I played a lot of stuff overclocked and so maybe the CPU couldn't handle it over 5 years? I just get a blank white...

    Wiz Performance Not As Expected?

    Ok, I am actually sattisfied with my WIZ because the latest emulators play nice. But the first thing I thought when I got it was, ok the GP2X at 200-270Mhz ran those emulators near fullspeed or halfspeed, with x2/x3/x4 (overclocked at 800Mhz) speed I will finally have them at least perfect 100%...

    Screen Question?

    Well, I wondered what that dithered pattern behind the screen is too. It's not the hardware dithering support because this one doesn't change according to the colors on the screen, it's just like a static blended faint background layer barely visible. Sometimes it gives a cool look in specific...

    Did You Get Your Retail Wiz? Post About It Here!

    I just got mine. Normally I wouldn't but as I couldn't wait for Pandora anymore I decided to buy the Wiz :) The screen tearing scares the hell out of me. I hope it's not something that cannot be fixed. As a fan of perfect smooth like silk graphics it's something that annoys me a lot. It would...

    What Games/systems Have You Spent The Most Time On?

    From handhelds, GP32 playing a lot of emulators (especially streets of rage 2 on drmd), no GP2X (I had it only for programming and demos, the stick makes it hard to play, NDS and GBA for games and maybe a little PSP (castlevania) I have burned my mind on Doom and still burning it (Downloading...

    Fallout In Dosbox?

    What I wish for Dosbox in pandora is to not stutter the sound. Regardless if it can or cannot run at 10000 cycles. I mean,. in GP2X whatever cycles you got it down (and there were games that should run under say 400 cycles) I never had sound that doesn't shutter. On the PC when this happens is...

    Getting Prepared For Delivery Day!

    Hah! I just bought the smallest one in the preorder page (8GB) just to have something to load anything for my Pandora. I had already spend a lot of money so I thought I'd wait later and only buy the 32GB if I see it's necessary.

    Mame4all Gp32 Eta

    Wow! I hope this really proves to be faster since the last GP32 MAME wasn't even playable here (too slow, sound breaking). I will try soon..

    Dosbox For Gp2x 0.72-5

    So should I put core = dynamic on the config or is it still not supported? (I think I tried it and there was no difference) Is there any speed improvement? Things seem to go slow. Maybe by disabling the sound but at how much cycles is the bottle neck? (some game almost play sound not bad at 512...

    Help! Need Name For My Next Game!

    Nice screenshots. I'd name my worms game something like "skulikia" or "skolix" (but that's how worms are called in greek language). But there are people no worms :P

    Dosbox For Gp2x 0.72-4

    My brother was playing EOB 2 very well but on the PSP version of Dosbox. Though since the CPU power is similar I guess it will work well here too. Now with the touchpad and speed improvements, I'd really like to try it on GP2X-F200 too. But I just wonder, is it is to differentiate left from...

    For some reasons I still like the GP32 the most.

    Software For The F200 (touch)

    I just got an F200 and I wanted to know which software should I try first that utilizes the touch screen. I have found very few (ScummVM, some Alien shoot game) but I'd like to check and enjoy the touch pad more. Any software you know from games to applications would be fine. (Searched in the...
