    How To Sharpen The Movie?

    Here's a little trick. Apply a really heavy sharpen filter (so that the edges sharpen up way too much) before you resize it down. This will help weight the bicubic filter so that it will create a sharper edge after the resize. Applying a sharpen after the resize won't really work that well as...

    GP32 Any Audio Developers?

    I have a condenser microphone and mixing desk that I use for sound effects in my CG animations, so I may be able to help you out with the sound effects depeding on what they are. However, i have absolutley no musical talent :) so you'll have to look elsewhere for that.

    Leapster Handheld Is Awesome!

    I got a chance to have a go on one of these today. It's an educational toy for kids, but underneath it's a pretty powerful handheld. :) Its got a 32bit processor, though I've no idea of the speed. There is a 4" Backlit touchscreen, full color. In the art studio, you can draw pictures right on...

    Qbix Could Program 3d Games For Gp32

    There is no proving them wrong about that. That is even an optimistic estimate. GP32 has no commercial market. And it is very, very unlikely this will ever change.

    Do Games In General Cost Too Much?

    With a game developed for the Playstation, Sony take approxiamatly 33% of the revenue before it even gets back to the developer. If Sony publish your title, they take an additional 50%. I think you can see where all the money is going :). In general, less people make a game than make a movie...

    GP32 A Bit Of Math

    Well if it helps any, a quick explaination is that it's just diving each value by 8, shifting them to the left by the appropriate amount. 11 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 1 bit for blue. Then these three values are OR'd together. You can get rid of the & operations completely as all they...

    Paying For Emulators Is Just Plain Wrong

    I never meant to imply that emulation made it made it possible. I mean that I beleive that emulation helped increase the market, and therefore make these ports commercially viable and in some cases extrememely successful. In fact, i'm sure that many of the people who bought these ports...

    Paying For Emulators Is Just Plain Wrong

    I would actually say that emultation, and the popularity of it, actually opened the opportunity for companies to sell direct ports and compilations of old products, that would otherwise have been forgotten forever. So emulation in some way is helping the games industry, rather than hindering...

    GP32 A Bit Of Math

    Use a macro if you need to do it in realitime. You want to avoid a function call for anything you will be doing over and over. #define GP_RGB16(r,g,b) (((((r>>3))&0x1f)<<11)|((((g>>3))&0x1f)<<6)|((((b>>3))&0x1f)<<1)) note, you dont need the &0x1f parts if you know for sure the value of your...

    GP32 Trig Or Interpolation?

    I don't use fxd_sin,cos,tan etc. in realtime, so it just calls the floating point version but converts the return to a fixed point version. Any help you can give me optimising the rest would help a lot. //16.16 Fixed Point Macros #define int_2_fxd(x) ((x)<<16) // Integer to fixed point...

    GP32 Trig Or Interpolation?

    Just incase anyone is interested, here is the code I am now using. For simple cases, I can just look straight into the lookup table. But for cases where I need the extra precision, I can call a function which returns an interpolated value. The functions accept a fixed point angle(degrees) in...

    Long Filename Browser

    Totally agree. It would be cool if a new version of pacrom or windups could support the long filenames.

    GP32 Trig Or Interpolation?

    Yeah, but I have a variable FOV camera, so when it's zoomed in a lot, it will jump around, since 1 degree would be about 1/5th of the screen width. I have no real way of benchmarking. Though I guess I could knock up a quick sample to see. I'm sure accessing a table, a few bitwise operations...

    Its Only A Rumour But....

    So what you are saying is that Gamepark has no plans to fund, nor develop any further commercial games? Doesn't sound like much of a change to me.

    GP32 Trig Or Interpolation?

    A quick question. I have to call sin, cos and tan a few times per frame for various reasons. I'm possibly going to put this into a lookup table, but I hate limiting the smooth animation to gain a few cycles. This could be fixed by interpolation... BUT..... Is it cheaper to just call sin,cos...

    GP32 Driving Engine Update.

    For a few days now I have been hacking away at all the code I have written, targetting it onto the GP32. I was beginning to fear that I would have nothing to show for GBAX04. However, over the last few hours, I actually got life on the little handheld. The Mode7 code, the sprite routines and...

    "i'll Cry If This Isn't Entered In Gbax" Thread

    Kojote, it sounds like you have had a bad experience, and I totally respect your decision to no longer support the GP32 for free. I can see you are venting about your frustration, but it seems like you are taking it out on the people who have contributed to this thread. A thread that is...
