Hi bobele, The part that you're looking at is the SMC socket itself. This is a component that is soldered to the main board, and it has a black plastic base with a metal cover over it (you can't really see the metal cover from the outside of the unit). The two legs you can see are the...

Are you building and running this program in DOS or Windows, by any chance? If so, your problem is probably because 26 is being treated as an end-of-file character. DOS defaults to text mode for files, which can cause all sorts of problems with non-text files. Open files with "wb" or "rb", for...

They have a project on Sourceforge. If you don't know how to use Sourceforge, you should learn! There are thousands of projects on there, some very cool, some not so cool. Anyway, to get you started, you could click on the "Download" link which is to the right, just under the "Latest File...

You don't need any cooling, it's not the heat that's the problem! Increasing the CPU voltage just changes the logic switching voltage levels inside the CPU and will tend to make higher frequencies possible. At some point, however, other timing constraints will prevent the CPU voltage mod from...

OmarNawaz: My GP32 is set to 1.995 volts, and it's been fine for a year or so. No guarantees for you, but I'm pretty sure it will be fine :) I've just got a BLU, so I'm going to do an experiment with my old non-lit gp32, see how high the voltage can go before something goes wrong...

I'm just in the process of building gigadrive (it's a bit different on Linux). Really though, the gpsdk sound functions are evil and must be avoided at all costs :) Hardware DMA is not only just as easy as using a ring buffer in GpSdk, but gives far better results. I'll look at implementing...

Dark_TB, the guide at cobbleware has illustrations for doing the mod with standard wire-ended resistors as well as surface-mount ones. I'm sure you'll be able to get them from any electronics outlet for less than one Crown (Krown? :) generalnmx: you probably won't be interested, but Temuera...

fDave: can you post the latest version on your site? I'd be happy to have a look at it. Could be a number of things I guess, couldn't say without more details.

Thegingerbreaddude seems to be asking which drive the SMC reader comes up as. The answer to that totally depends on your computer's configuration - what other drives do you have in there? For example, you could have C: Hard drive D: Hard drive E: CD Writer F: DVD Reader G: SMC Reader...

Hi zj_jeepster, A pity about damaging the pad but it's not the end of the world. Just make sure that there is contact between the resistor and the little bit of solder that's still showing, and it'll be fine. Alternatively, you can scrape off the green solder resist to expose more copper to...

zj_jeepster, I don't think you should be surprised at the difference in speeds. For a start, your resistors are probably 5% tolerance, so they won't be exactly 68k and 120k, which will mean that the two units will be running at slightly different voltages. Also, different CPUs will run at...

At the risk of being stupidly repetitive, check the batteries! We've had numerous people around here that used those "25 for a dollar" batteries that didn't work even when they were new... then when they finally replaced them with good quality alkalines or whatever, the problem went away :)

The voltage for the capacitor is only its maximum rating, so either 6V or 10V is just fine. The capacitor is actually running at 3.3V, so anything above that will work.

Aha, then it's probably a C++ name-mangling problem. Because GpMain is in a C++ file, it will be exported by g++ as xyzGpMain#32%!^&* or some such rubbish. Possibly the solution is just to prototype GpMain as a C function, ie. above the implementation of GpMain, put extern "C" { void GpMain...

fGen32 savestates are different to other emulators (due to the internal arrangement of the emulators, this is necessary). So I'm sorry but your .mds won't load in fGen32 and you do have to start again in Monster World 4 :)

Errr... maybe add a GpMain() function? In normal C/C++ programs, the entry point to the program is main(). That's not the case when you're using gamepark's sdk, the entry point for your code must be called "GpMain". The solution may be as easy as finding the main() function in the source...

Bah... I've never gone and got pissed with anyone from this scene :angry: ZJ, if you feel the urge to pop over to Christchurch NZ, give me a yell! Anyway, DrZ80 uses between about 6 and 20 instructions per emulated Z80 instruction. The instructions on the real Z80 took between 3 and 12 or so...

Hi fdave, 16500 sounds ok. Just remember: Nyquist was a nazi, and he should be ignored whenever possible :) Anyway, I've got some MMU setup code to make the sound buffer non-write-buffered, or you could look at spiv's site. Or, an easy thing that I quite often do, is put the sound DMA buffer...

Heh, I wondered at the time whether anyone would pick up on that... DaveC, you're so pedantic ;) No, development hasn't stopped, although it has slowed down a bit at the moment - as always, these things go in fits and starts. It was pretty feverish for a while there, it's natural to stand back...

Ever wonder where Osama bin Laden got to? Well I know - he's in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, running a games console business through which he is subverting the world. And he's in cahoots with GW Bush! Remember when Sony started the rumour that PS2s were going to be registered with the military because...
