GP2X Different Kind Of Emulator :-)

[Squidge]

(IE users may need to hack there browser to support PNGs, or just upgrade to Firefox )

But can it brick itself?

 

[BenScar]

Is that really what I think it is?
(A CPU emu of the GP2x running on a PC..)

(and I use IE, no hack needed to view PNGs Although I do like FireFox, the logo is cute!)

 

[skeezix]

Which ARM emu core are you using?

In a way, I suppose theres not a lot of hardware so doing emulation might not be too bad .. but taking care of Magic-Eyes smart code could be a right pain; but framebuffer rendering that most of us do should be a cakewalk...

Cool stuff mate

This what happens when you get sick?

BenScar: Yes

Skeezix: Currently using bits from Dualis & Cowbite. Frame buffer rending is pretty easy, but all the things the mmsp2 chip lets you do is a pain. Plus I've got to figure out how to emulate the MMU yet, I imagine thats going to be trouble.

 

[skeezix]

Emulating the mmu shouldn't be hard, but depends on the CPU emulation if it makes it trouble or not. From one freak to another.. you're a freak. A wonder-freak

Did DaveC design a cap for it yet?

:lol:

 

[nickspoon]

Does it emulate the VPP yet? It would be the most useful thing ever if it did.

 

[Squidge]

VPP ?

Thankyou! I will appreciate this for devving.. much better than having to transfer stuff to SD just to test. ^_^

I will keep my eyes focussed on this squidge!

IE does support PNG, just not PNG with an alpha channel.

What it doesn't support (and I've just discovered at work just how bad this is) is CSS. When IE's market share is below 20% my job will be much, much easier.

Please everybody, save a panda, use firefox.

Ah, I stand corrected. I thought IE detested PNG's. Everytime I click on a PNG in IRC or messenger, IE always asked me to save the file rather than just displaying it, so default browser got changed to Firefox.

Nickspoon: I'll endeavor to support as much as possible. After all, we have several Ghz here rather than several hundred Mhz

​

One of the main points with PNGs is the alpha channel, so that's also quite bad...

So please everybody, save a panda, boycott Microsoft. :rolleyes:

​

When PNG's are embedded in html as <img> tags IE is okay with it.
When you point IE straight at the URL of a PNG it hasn't a clue.


btw. Great work squidge

Any plans for porting it to the GP2X?

Sure, it would be quite small too, as it would just consist of a "reset processor" instruction


BTW, UBoot's NAND Probing works now. It's now attempting to load the kernel
