    Compiler Problems

    Hi, Yes, I think I went a little over the top there with my claims. I think one of the things that initially shocked me into investigating shared v static was the size of the original compo release of Vektar, it was something like 4.5MB. Now, I know it's down quite a bit, but DZZ obviously...

    Compiler Problems

    Hi, Okay, I really didn't want it to go down this road, but I'll add my own opinion here, for what it's worth. I can see where both of you of coming from when you say you want to be able to just unpack the program and run it. I can understand that, but why are we suggesting that the user has...

    Hi, I'd forgotten all about Open2X, thanks for the reminder. I'll check it out again!

    Compiler Problems

    Hi, I know, I know, that's why I didn't want to get into this just yet. What we could try doing is setting LD_RUN_PATH to something like /mnt/sd/lib at compile time, and try and get everybody to have the latest libs in there. In theory, when the binary is run and the libraries linked at...

    Compiler Problems

    I think it might be worth pointing out the possibility that the fault is not because he is trying to link a shared object (which is really what we all ought to be aiming for) but that the reference in "sysroot/usr/lib/libpthread.so" is probably pointing to "/usr/lib" directory instead of the...

    Gp2x In The Bathroom

    (Note to self: If there is ever a GP2X owner's meet, and I go, remind myself NOT to take anyone up on their offer to play "this great new game I installed on my GP2X"...) (2nd note to self: If there is ever a GP2X owner's meeting... For the love of all that is good and clean, DON'T GO!!!)

    GP2X Gp2x Demo Development

    Hi, I'm not sure that this is guaranteed to happen. I think this happens more by convention than anything else, as technically the "r" constraint is a "general-purpose register", not the "next free register starting at r0". From looking at the GCC docs, the only way to be sure of this is to...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    (via wikipedia) US Patent entry I'm not even remotely awake enough to try and decipher the legalese surrounding this, and the images are only partially visible for me, but it looks like the patent is for any (physically) 4-way multi-directional control pad formed as a single unit, using...

    GP2X Xferring Files To Gp2x Via Serial

    Hi, I haven't had any luck transferring files onto my GP2X using the USB gadget serial device driver. Firstly, for some reason theoddbots cramfs image has lrz symlinked to lsz, which I don't understand, perhaps I'm missing something here. Secondly, I downloaded the lszrsz port so kindly...

    Lik-sang Selling Broken Gp2x's

    Hi, That really is a shame, as I've dealt with Lik Sang on and off over the last few years, and the only bad thing I could say about them is that they use DHL and UPS. I got my PSP, DS and now a GP2X from there, plus a few games, etc. and whenever I've had any issues they've been nothing but...

    D-pad, With Diagonals - Working!

    Hi, I thnk this comment is well out of order, and I'd like you to follow up with a list of GP2X homebrew that you have tested and which works 100% with your solution. I.e. Extraterrestres? Vektar? Trying to score points against the efforts of other people is the sort of thing I have to put up...

    I Have Made A D-pad Work For The Gp2x !

    Hi, It makes sense, because all of these games are designed to generate the diagonals in code, i.e. the controls they were designed for were 4-way controls. The only drawback with the way you have implemented it is that on GP2X-specific programs, which 'know' that the only way to get a...

    Serial From The Ext Port Problem

    Wow! That's constructive. To the original poster: It looks like your signal is getting smeared, most likely because the voltage levels coming from the charge pumps are not stable enough. My first step would be to use the 0.1uF caps, as per Maxim's data sheet. I had to make a phone unlocker...

    Vektar 0.9

    Hi, It would probably take you longer to implement this than it would for someone to crack it, as with pretty much any kind of encryption where the key is public (i.e. in the code). I don't think it's worth the diversion from working on the actual game itself. Perhaps the easiest thing to do...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    For some reason they've made the top part of the casing in two parts, as in your photo. When the unit is assembled, the bottom half is the voltage source for the up, up-left, left, and down-left directions, and the top half is the voltage source for the up-right, right, down-right and down...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    I had forgotten about that myself, I don't understand why they did that, but there must be a reason to complicate the design like that. Go here, ALPS web catalogue and enter RKJXL into the search box and you'll be able to find a PDF which will show you the exact details of the connections. I...

    Should I Have Ordered The Gp2x...

    From the viewpoint of appeasing shareholders, then yes, they have to do what they can to lock out "piracy". However, if I was really intent on "pirating" games, then I would go out today and buy GTA so I could use the current exploit, although I do believe (from what I've read) that only a...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    I've just had a crazy idea, and I'm going to ask my friend's permission for me to open his GP2X so I can verify it. From the pictures just posted it looks like there's loads of room in there. If you were to put a disc over the shaft of the joystick, so that it rests on the flat top of the...

    Should I Have Ordered The Gp2x...

    I guess I'm just passionate about having the freedom to experiment without having the manufacturer pull the rug out from under me. I suppose this is why I loved the Spectrum so much. You could stick anything onto the expansion bus and it interfaced straight into the Z80! Oh, happy days.

    Should I Have Ordered The Gp2x...

    Yes, Wipeout2000, you made the right decision. I will be selling my PSP soon, as I haven't used it in ages. I use my DS and the GP2X more now than I ever did the PSP. Now, I shall rant. Self-indulgence mode ON. Yes, the PSP has some good games, but from what I've seen, most of them are fairly...
