is it open source?

It doesn't seem to be developed by GP or GPH so I doubt it'll be called GP-anything.

big surprise to me, no kidding?


No kidding, read craigix's last post

He clearly refers to "we" (the developers) and GPH as separate entities.

 

[icurafu]

would XGP be a (legal) name choice?

Unless they own the rights to the name, which is a small possibility. (Even if they did, do you think they would use it?)

wow, i totally overlooked that. but, he did say that the team that was responsible for all of the mistakes on the mk1 is not with him anymore. i wonder if that team has anything to do with gph, so he would say they wont screw up agian.

tHiS is ACTUALLY HAPPENING!!!

Sorry, craig and friends gets me excited...

 

[X-Code]

Had loads of beer yesterday, turning this matter over in my head, and have decided that I want this new machine... yesterday :lol:


Edit: Though December doesn't sound too bad either

 

[earx]

i second the exciting bit ) but before the new gp3x or whatever its name will be i'll get another gp2x (my third hehehe) just in case.

i especially like craigix passing on small bits of information as we're going on. the prototype hardware running gp2x software sounds damn good to me! =)

If it's the 500Mhz SoC then it should be called "GP-500" or "GP500".


That set me thinking a bit about a potential name for the new puppy.

If it had built-in wifi, touch screen, active homebrew scene, 1000s of downloadable games, and we wanted to use "500" as part of the name then we could go with something like the 500S maybe.

Hang on though, 500 in roman numerals is D i think so would that not mean we had a ............. h34r:

Yes, it already has a name (no, I'm not gonna tell you )

It's running SquidgeSNES already... yet without using hardware accelleration, but already smoother than the gp2x version with hardware accelleration...

 

[kanzlr]

will it run GP2X apps native or do they have to be at least recompiled?

thanks

 

[virusx]

500 Mhz processor would be awesome. I don't know if a dual processor design would be an advantage or not (dual 500!!!!).

+1 for an usb powered voprizer btw

IS IT BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE WITH IT'S OLDER BROTHERS? Or is Squidge fiddeling with Spot??

 

[Draken]

Craigix has hinted that the new handheld would be backwards compatible.

Apps that touch the hardware directly are unlikely to be backwards compatible without a simple recompile I'd guess, and that means most apps. That will probably change once apps start being written for open2x because then we can dynamically link to libs and still use the latest compilers (usually it's the libs that hit the hardware directly and the main app leaves it well alone, but on the gp2x most apps have to include the gp2x versions of the libs so effectively the main app is also hitting the hardware).
