    GP2X Performance Issues With V2 Firmware

    Hi, Yes, that's what it looks like to me. If I start and quit various games from the menu, and do a 'ps' after the menu comes back, I see more and more instances of the menu showing up. After a while you seem to hit a stage where there are multiple menus responding to the joystick, and you get...

    Vektar On The 2.0 Firmware Nand

    I'm all for commercial games on the GP2X, but this leaves me a little confused. I suppose all will be revealed when DZZ's 1.0 release is revealed, but it seems to me that his version is going to have more to attract me than the commercial version.

    Vektar Boxed Version

    I've a few questions myself: What kind of SD card will it come on? Will there be a downloadable version, and what price will it be? I've plenty of SD cards, I don't want to have to pay for another one, which probably is only going to be 128MB or something like that - I don't want to have to...

    GP2X How To Use Usb Gadget With Xp And Gp2x 2.0.0

    Cheers! All you need now is confirmation from someone who's needed to use it, so that it can be confirmed to be complete, and it should be good to go.

    GP2X How To Use Usb Gadget With Xp And Gp2x 2.0.0

    I'm glad you found my information useful, but perhaps I was a bit vague on the specifics. The PC and the GP2X should have different IP addresses. I.e., if the GP2X is configured to 10.1.0.235, then the PC will need to be configured to something else, for example, 10.1.0.1 (in my case)...

    Group Game Project

    Hope I'm not too late jumping in here, but one game that I really got into last year, and which I'd never known about before, is "Master Of Magic" on the Spectrum. I'd love to see a game like this on the GP2X, as it has some nice features: Exploration, Spells, Mad panic dashes, multi-level...

    Firmware 2.0.0 Next Week!

    A-ha, if I remember correctly, when the USB network driver is installed on the PC, it doesn't have an IP address set, and it tries to get an IP address from a DHCP server. I'm guessing that in your TCP/IP settings for the USB network connection, the IP and DNS address sections are set to get an...

    GP2X Performance Issues With V2 Firmware

    Well, without wishing to appear negative, this has yet to be proved. The V2 source doesn't appear to be on the repository yet...

    Firmware 2.0.0 Next Week!

    When you enable the USB networking, a new network connection should appear in your "network connections" control panel. If you configure the new network connection to match your GP2X (or vice-versa, of course) you should be able to connect to the GP2X. For example, I have my GP2X set to...

    GP2X Performance Issues With V2 Firmware

    I haven't been able to look into that in depth, but as far as I know, DrMD brings the CPU speed right down for the menu, so any latency or stalls incurred by the scheduler is going to be exacerbated. Ideally, the menu should be able to run on the vsync interrupt and put the CPU into sleep mode...

    GP2X Performance Issues With V2 Firmware

    Hi, I've split this off from the V2 sound issues thread to try and keep it all together if it turns into a worthwhile discussion: I've noticed that when the menu starts, it appears to start a second instance of itself, which I guess is for automatic respawning. Successive instances seem to...

    GP2X Sound Changes In 2.0.0 Firmware

    Perhaps the volume limiter feature is adding some latency to the sound driver. I noticed the audio was a bit jumpy on the Payback demo, although I didn't think much of the soundtrack anyway. I'm going to start a new thread regarding performance issues with the v2 firmware (and the system in...

    GP2X Does The New 2.0 Firmware Ease Dev At All?

    USB networking built-in: Samba and full-speed telnet across USB! That says it all, I think! I found a Cygwin binary of GDB/insight compiled for ARM targets at http://www.macraigor.com/full_gnu.htm, and it works. That is going to save me so much hassle...

    Firmware 2.0.0 Next Week!

    OK, this is a long shot, AND YOU COULD BRICK YOUR GP2X BY DOING THIS, I DON'T KNOW, but if you copy the new firmware files on the SD card, and rename "gp2xkernel.img" to "kernel140.bin", which is the file that Robster's flasher is looking for, then it should flash in the new boot code, and I'm...

    Firmware 2.0.0 Next Week!

    I know this is a lame question to ask, and you're probably expecting it, but have you performed a successful firmware upgrade before with the card you're using?

    GP2X Gp2x Demo Development Part 3

    Hi, Looks like a good idea, and I think the kernel source does it in a similar, but not quite so elegant way. You may be running into structure alignment and packing issues. I had some major problems with this until I discovered a few things: By default, a structure is padded at the end to...

    Allegro Setup

    Sorry, I forgot to mention, if you have a serial connection, it makes it a lot easier to see system error messages (e.g. you might be missing a library or something like that), but most importantly it means you can put debug messages around your code to keep track of where things are without...

    Allegro Setup

    Hi, Well, sorry to say, but I can't add anything more for the moment. I was originally using dynamic linking, but I did a static link just to make sure, and I get a white screen with "Hello, world!" in the middle. I'm using the same linker options as you. The only thing I can suggest you do now...

    Compiler Problems

    Hi, jkgp2x, check your other thread re. allegro problems... Well that would explain a lot! It makes me feel a bit better about not being able to get my executable sizes down as easily as I would like. My current setup has the shared objects in mnt/sd/lib/, and I'm compiling my programs using...

    Allegro Setup

    Hi, I don't think the parallax test binary ever worked for me either, so you're probably not alone there. I'll have to check it out again now that I'm more used to the GP2X. I copied over the current DevKitGP2X toolchain to get the allegro libs, and compiled the example "exhello.c" from the...
