    Version Confusion

    Geez guys... Let's say you buy a new car. Next year, a new model comes out. Do you go back to your dealer and moan and demand compensation? Cripes, sometimes I think that there would be LESS whining if GPH never released an upgraded model at all, and everyone would be perfectly happy with the...

    Replacement Caps Now Available

    And damned if it isn't worth every penny. Seriously, it's the best $10 you can spend on your GP2X.

    Redesigning The Gp2x

    8-way weird industrial stick -> 4-way microswitched stick (like the NGPC) Move the power switch to the top or bottom of the unit Potentiometers for backlight brightness & volume control. Otherwise I really like it the way it is. edit: Oh yeah, a FPU would be nice...

    7 Stickies Vs. 8 Topics Equals :(

    I actually think this is a very good thread, I hope that mods still point people towards it when threads get closed. I wasn't around too see what Sonistar said to make DijiTao go post that, but I'm sure you've mellowed out a bit by now. Anyway, even after the thread was created, there have been...

    Do's & Dont's For Your Sd Card

    This is not SD, but I have a 128 MB Memory Stick Duo that has about 30 MB of permanently damaged unusable space. One of my cardreaders is able to format it and write to the good spots, but another one of my readers gives me the "write protected" error. Might be something similar.

    New Gp2x Mk2 Review.

    Personally I think scanlines are kind of cool, but then again I'm used to playing on low-resolution arcade monitors...

    New Gp2x Mk2 Review.

    That's a risk you accept with early adoption. It's a risk I've accepted, at least. When I buy a car I'm not going to whine when a new model comes out next year. Anyway, about the stick, it sounds like it's just the same assembly but rotated... Would changing it to a 4-way microswitched assembly...

    Vektar Boxed Version

    craigix, I was just browsing through the order page for Vektar on gp2x.co.uk and I didn't see an option for Paypal payment, and the calculator estimated it would cost 9 GBP to ship to Canada by Airmail... I hope this isn't final, because as excited as I am for commercial games, if it ends up...

    Replacement Caps Now Available

    I was just poking around that order page... No Paypal? 9 lbs postage to Canada by Airmail???? I don't mean to sound rude but I am incredulous...

    First Payback Rolling Demo

    Hell... I hate GTA-style games but this is really impressive and I might buy it.

    Tv Out Cable Question...

    Female-female S-video adaptors are a bit tricky to find, and prices vary wildly. A large electronics distributor in my city was selling them for $12 which is ridiculous. So I went to my regular little family-run shop and picked one up for $4.50. I also grabbed a female S-video to male...

    Gp2x Joystick??

    http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=24248 It's just a replacement cover for the stick, but trust me, it's a huge improvement.

    Nicest Gp2x Ever Seen So Far!!!

    I'd believe it's a real custom job. But the text in the corner looks like it says "personal multi-game player" or something along those lines.

    Gp2x Getting Upgrades.

    Yep, I had one, and I sold it. For things like the Megaman collections, it's still better to use a controller convertor and a DualShock just due to having a better face button layout. For everything else, I still use an arcade stick. Anyway, sorry for going wildly off topic..

    Gp2x Getting Upgrades.

    Even for non-emulated games that require digital control, analogue doesn't work. Here's an example. Try playing Ikaruga on the GameCube, using the analogue stick. Pure ass. And not the desirable kind of ass either. Now try playing it with the D-pad. Still pretty bad since the GameCube D-pad...

    Gp2x Getting Upgrades.

    Anybody who visits arcades regularly can tell you that joysticks > D-pads, and digital > analogue :) Agreed that NGPC has the best thumbstick ever, aside from the NGCD controllers (and the PS2 version also). Pure microswitched delicious yumminess.

    Sdl Event Queue Help, Inputs Going Out Of Sync

    I've been working on a game as my first project for a few weeks now using SDL, I just have a question about the SDL event queue, more specifically how exactly it works. Just for context, I'm making a 2D scrolling shooter. I noticed that if I really quickly mash around the directional keys and...

    The N64 Mod

    That wasn't a Nintendo-made pad, was it? Because I remember my 1st-party sticks being more or less convex on the top and also quite painful to use, much like the original GP2X cap.

    GP2X Question: Using Sprites Ripped From Other Sources

    Yeah I did, but I wasn't forward thinking enough to make global defines for frame width and height for every sprite, so if the final sprites end up being a different size then I have to go through and check each value individually. I DID do it for the explosions though (at least one of them) so...
