32mb Ram Mod, Better?

[schaap2005]

Hi,
Will programs run (much) better when you have done the memory mod?

 

[Apeiron]

Nothing supports it, so nothing runs better, linux has plans to as an option but nothing as of yet.

 

[schaap2005]

Yes that's true, but if you read the whole article you see how to change the assinged memory for programs, and if it's not possible, what if

 

[davey g]

Basically, only a very very small percentage of people who own GP32s would get or have got the ram mod. Hence not much if any software supports it.

 

[schaap2005]

I understand, but what if all gp32's had 32mb, would it be faster?

 

[Goity]

Not really no, because it only ups the access memory, so thing may get a speed increase, but only after much optimisation which wouldn't be worth the tiny minority



Charga: No, it would not make it faster, just have better support due to needing more RAM to load the games into memory

 

[saintdragon]

would it not make emulators faster? e.g gpadvance as that needs more ram i think to make it a full speed emu.

 

[Rattboi]

No

 

[schaap2005]

That;s a pity

 

[Fishbong]

No

Erm, you are the professional here, but don´t you think a GP Advance version that would support 32MB of RAM would run extremely much faster? The reason for f.i. Warioland 4 being unplayable is dynamical loading, which is, due to the structure of the ROM, being used more than 2 times per frame. Dynamical loading, in turn, is necessary because most GBA ROMs are too big to be loaded into the GP32 RAM entirely. So if i had a GP32 with 32MB RAM and if there were a GP Advance version that would use this amount to load ROMs entirely, there would be no necessity to use dynamic loading, what would make things a lot more faster.

OK
Nice too now .
Maybe it's a idea to let everyone do this mod, a lot of gp32_console 's will die

wouldnt it just allow bigger games and not make them run faster

and wouldnt it allow for more stuff to go on too

i was thinking the same. like a better and more powerful firmware which has all the capabilities like the gps/bought separately and stuff like that...
