I shouldnt say sound is a setback, I should say side note. I believe, firmly, that porting generator to gp32 will be fairly easy and fast. Sound however, would come along slowly. With generator, sound was an item entered in the newer versions, with the original console version it was not...

Actually, I have been researching it heavily. Im not one of those people that dives blindly into a project. Im afraid that if I just make the core, nothing will ever come of it. There is a highly portable emulator called generator, and while it is not coded in assember, it does not emulate in...

"high capacity" and a "long battery life," and in our test drive today we were able to milk more than four hours of straight gameplay before needing to plug it into the HotSync/AC adapter. see http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/455/455702p2.html

I know that there has been a lot of anger towards the zodiac, and I just wanted to put in my 2c on why you dont need to be worried. First off, the fact that the zodiac is 2x as fast with a lit screen is a double edged sword. These are nice features, however, I just read that this thing wont...

Ok, another shot of good news, I have discovered that the gnu assembler 'as' has built in support for the arm arch. So thats one more thing out of the way. Now its just going to be a matter of gp32 specifics. And yes, I visit faders site alot :)

Is it possible that someone can get me a copy of the x86 asm core that is in question. I will also need documentation on the arm assembler instruction set and a copy of an arm assembler itself that cross compiles from linux. I would be willing to give a conversion my best shot. But if I do...

C++ is the best language, and always will be, it is the only language that has survived and all newer languages(C# java etc) are just a varient of C. If you want to make money learn VB. I think that alot of people get the impression that c++ will make you marketable. Even worse, alot of kids...

I would suggest that you look into sdl. It is free and very robust. It is supported in linux, winblowass and gp32. You can release your game 3 times. This is the avenue that I am persuing with my sdl games. Outside of that you have the typical low level image manipulation in devkitadvance...

Ok not to answer my own question but I figured out that the card reader was allowing me to place illegal filenames and all other manner of ill sh+t. So I got the linux linker up and running and it handles things much better. Thanks for the info though.

I just added the sms emulator to gp32 and still little john is the only thing that shows up. Im using a smart card drive to transfer files, but it didnt make a difference befor? Any ideas?

Unfortunately I have never come upon the perfect C++ book. C++ is a very complex language, and there are so many ways to do a given task it is just like having multiple dialects. Example, do you include youre class file at the bottom of the corresponding header file? I do but some people...

Actually if nothing else is valuable from this project the method of text input is quite intuitive. There is no keyboard necessary. http://www.bripro.com/gbagi/docs/textinput.html That having been said, if the devkitadvance was used for this project porting it should be rather simple as the...

Well, I downloaded the zpk twice. I dont know anymore. Im going to take this thing to another winblows machine when I find one I guess. If that doesnt work Im probably going to just return it. I honestly cant believe how convoluded this is. I wish I had purchased from a site that...

Well it worked well enough moving files to and from the smc card just not installing the zpk

Im getting a little irate. I took and hour to go over to a friends house just so that I could use their windows computer and register my gamepark. Now that I downloaded the free launcher zpk, when I double click it in the linker it then asks if I want to proceed with installation, I say yes, I...

Ok Ive thought more about this. It seems that what we really need is a hypercard type engine. We need cards with objects. When an object is selected it needs to do one or more of the following. -Play animation -Show object -Hide object -Obtain object -Goto card With this extremely simplified...

No one is mentioning the fact that the gba has hardware rendering. That is the reason why it is more powerful in some regards. Sure the gp 32 has a faster processor, it has to just to keep up. The gp32 is a better system because of the screen and inexpensive development, thats all. With its...

Well, even if this is closed source the idea is still sound. Put together an interpreter for simple point and click adventure games like Sam and Max. Im trying to figure out right now how to go about it. I know that I basically need an array of generic room objects(Better linked list.) Each...

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ Ok Im editing this post, I thought originally I could get the sourcecode for this. Maybe I can talk to the authors or reverse engineer the project. I see that this is basically a scripting language, in any event this would be way more difficult than I...

I dont think that people are using a clear head with the Zodiac. None take into account the fact that it is running a bloated buggy operating system. Sure its not windows XP, but compared to the simplicity of what is on the gp32 you know that emulation will forever suffer. And that price tag...
