Hi'
the savegames are listed in the list when you press "restart" or start the emu.. after you select one savegame, load it and press continue..

This is a brilliant emulator with just one major bug that I can see. My GP32 resets and loses the game database images occasionally, not too bad though as can work around it. All the games I have tried work, Rampage is so fun :D Cant wait to see this with sound.
 
hmmm , sorry to mention, but savegames doesn't work yet properly! On loading a savegame, the emu may crash :-(
 
i drove 2 hours by train today and played the emulator the whole time. savestates worked fine, i had no crash, but the emu itself randomly reboots the gp32 after the start.
and i had the "4 screen / split screen" bug once.

it also seems to be a little bit slower than the first release. i used to play bmx in california games and today, with new emu, it wasn't playable any more :(

and it would be great, if the game names could be saved, so that the program doesn't have to scan the dir every time, because it takes a lot of time....
 
I have tried copying the BLU file into GPMM but I get the following error message.

"invalid extension. only 3 characters are allowed for file extension : blu"

what file extension is needed to make this work?

Thanks
 
Can't get this to work. The first time it loads it starts flashing ROM names at the bottom of the screen (scanning roms?) it does this for awhile and gives a percentage but then just resets the GP32. What am I doing wrong? Do I have too many ROMs or something, is there a limit? Next I limited the ROMs to like 3 or 4 and it scanned for awhile and reset. Then I reloaded the emu and it reset as soon as it got to the rom screen. Loaded the emu again, this time started scanning, so I tried to move the selector and it jumped around slowly with alot of lag and selected a game before it got a chance to crash again. It finally loaded the game, after a battle with the GUI. I can't have all of my ROMs there though cause it will crash. The GUI seems really buggy.

I tried the gamma setting and it brightened the graphics but still failed to make the background completely black like it should be, it was still grey.

Is there something that I am doing wrong or is it like this for everyone? I have a regular BLU, not +.

Works on my BLU+ :)
(Just copied the gpmm folder to my smc, and the bios file to the rom folder.
But Klax is hard to play... :(

Blu file?

I simply extracted all of the stuff from the .zip file to /gpmm.

It now includes handygp, Lynx, and PORB folders, plus porb.fxe.

Lynx folder includes roms and lynxboot.img...

No BLU+ line, can't say about saving and such.

Which propably explains alot, since it isn't actually Phandy 03b :blink:

I'm comfused, is PORB actually a discontinued Lynx-emu? :blink:

:blink:


:blink:

And, alas, as I actually tried Phandy 0.3b... It does not work on my BLU+. :lol:

Crashes similarly as described, while scanning for roms. :( And the gray bar is there.
 
Yes now I understand you run porb.fxe but I'm trying to run phandy.fxe... and still nothing, the blu file is in the pack with gpmm folder and readme file, you don't know about it?
 
Nice to see a fellow LOOM fan on the boards. :)

I think that this emulator looks fairly promising, even if its installation & interface seems a little unintuitive. It's been slowly but surely progressing over the past two years from "unplayable" to "playable without sound at 156Mhz".

PORB is a combination of a lynx emu and a few games (Arkanoid clone, some space invaders clone, etc)... at least that's what it was when I downloaded it a few months ago; the files for the games seem to have been removed since then. TBH, it looked to me more like something a programmer would make for himself so he could say "look at how cool these shaky line menus are!" as opposed to something you could actually use. ;) Not that it didn't look cool, but it was buggy and I suspect that the interface made sense only if you were the programmer. :ph34r:

How did you get this to work? It always crashes my GP32 while scanning ROMs. Is there some trick to it?
