Sheesh, you just don't give up hey. This is a thread about REMOVING or DISABLING Linux on the GP2X to allow developers to fully utilize the hardware. You did say you read my post, so maybe the problem is actually comprehension. Oh yes, I am actually insulting you now. As I said, HH hadn't even...

Yup, CCS64 isn't open source, and VICE is a notorious resource hog not very well suited for handhelds (so I'm told). There's been some effort to create a cut back version of VICE for the PSP though, which is working but without sound and last time I checked not at full speed. One thing I...

Sheesh, people seem to be a bit touchy and prone to getting the wrong idea at the moment, which I can understand. I am not bitching. GPL isn't something anyone should be messing with, no matter what the motivation, and GPH are like it or not messing with the GPL of Magic Eyes and they are...

The translated comments read like some kind of odd poetry - "Empty emptiness... the operator grows at quite and the sound the bedspread which it does.". :lol: Edit: Had to add this one: "The bedspread where the hope is visible little by little The hemp cloth it sprouts and that li premature...

There are many excellent games that will not work in Frodo on the GP32, or in any Frodo port. I'm also a c64 demo coder and I'd love to be able to have the cutting edge of the commie in a handheld, not even the PSP has managed this yet (some people are working on a VICE port), so I know it's a...

Well, that's kinda promising. So I take it that GPH weren't interested then? ;)

Frodo, it's the only c64 emulator on GP32, and no it is in so many ways not proper or 100% emulation. I do actually know what I'm talking about when it comes to the ol' c64, chuckles. Insults? You're under the impression that I'm insulting you? I apologise for the miscommunication then.

So, with the release and focus on the GP2X, this community based homebrewer's handheld Ninja gadget is confined to the vapour trail? Seems like a tremendous shame, considering (and I'll admit my ignorance) that it seems Mr. Mirko was the main man developing it and he's been invaluable to the...

You're saying that DaveC is one of the least informed members of this board? :lol: Oh, you mean me? Well, you're entitled to your opinion. If the GP2X had come with an SDL based SDK not based on Linux, then there still would have been a Quake port. Linux != SDL. But then I know what you're...

Ah, humour, it's a great thing isn't it? ;) You know I was just googling for an image like that, eheheh. I'm in no way anti-Linux, it's funny to see people read what I've written and jump to the conclusion that I'm threatening their belief system or something :P Also, many Linux games have...

That really is not the point here. GPL is set in stone and long established, when you take up a GPL license for your software certain rules *must* be followed. Especially when you are building your software on someone elses GPL software, such as is the case with the Magic Eyes kernal. At the...

There is something kinda Zen about penguins. Altho they can also be a bit creepy, ala Wallace & Gromit ;) For the record, for any post skimmers, for yet another disclaimer: I love GPH, I love the GP2X, I love open source and I love the concept of Linux embedded in the GP2X. There. Maybe I'd...

They used Linux for me? Nah, I don't think so, I could care less if the GP2X has an operating system. If anything they used Linux for convenience and because something like WinCE they couldn't possibly afford to distribute.

Settle down? Did you read my last post where I said "please I am not being impatient or negative here I'm just fostering discussion so that the issue doesn't become a festering discussion"? It's just up there ^ Discussion of the issues is just that, it's what forums are made for. As I've said...

Ok, so you are a Linux zealot then. You do realise that Linux on the GP2X's limited system is not at all the same creature you're used to on your desktop, right? Your comment about C64 emulation is uninformed, it is notoriously difficult to properly emulate the C64 (Frodo is NOT proper...

Obviously? Come on, I'm not slagging Linux here or it's potential on the GP2X, I think I have stated that several times now. I'm not saying LINUX is a bloated launcher, at all, and I am saying that currently on the GP2X Linux is somewhat of a novelty until there are some peripherals available...

Well, the GPL is a very messy beast and I much prefer Creative Commons licensing myself. Still, the GPL says, once the software is distributed the GPL license holder must honour the GPL and also distribute the source and the license itself. Not only are GPH not doing this, they are also not...

1. Sounds cool. 2. Gets GP2X in Linux magazines and news sites around the world (already happening I've heard). 3. Attracts the Linux geek elite devotee zealots who will go for anything that has something to do with penguins. 4. Allows some to port embedded Linux and SDL apps quickly, even...

Yeah, that XGP does look more like a concept car than something you might drive to work in :P Why there is so much wasted space in the keyboard area, when there is enough room there to fit an actual full (small) keyboard, that's wacky. The control buttons don't look that well designed, and the...

Ok, so I've read a few vague rumours about GPH and it's unwillingness to supply the source to the GP2X firmware. Is this true? If so, it's another testament to how forgiving this community can be of the way in which GPH conducts its business. Honestly, I've seen other open source communities...
