Drmd Gp2x Version

[Mark1970]

Wow great emulator, cool to see the great megadrive games running on both my gp32 AND gp2x!

 

[Laintsurge]

Hmm can't wait to get the GP2X when it gets slightly cheaper and I have the money. It's getting of to a great start.

​

i dunno if the gp2x'll get much cheaper, the gp32 didn't seem to.

doesn't matter though, cos DrMD probably WILL get faster

you guys :angry: give reesy a break - its only the first release, I bet the code's only held together with blu-tack so far.

the linux OS has nothing to do with it really, its not like its running a load of winXP RAM-and-CPU-leaching un-stoppable-without-popping-up-again processes. ahem.... windows rant over

suggestions for .ini (just floating ideas of things people would possibly need):

Mapping the controls or the buttons needed to be pressed to save/load states.

​

I second this idea Probably, .ini is better than writing a Linux script idea because of this. .ini has much more room to grow feature-wise.

Doesn't surprise me that you aren't getting them until about 3 inches away if you're running at a higher clockspeed - for me, they're visible until about a foot away from my face; at 15 inches they aren't there (and the flickering is markedly reduced).

Howe'er, doesn't change the fact that this is a brilliant emu, with a bit of flickerage or no

EDIT: Just clocked my unit up to 266MHz and the flickering and scanlines no longer exist - as expected

Test it with Sonic 3 and Vectorman. The GP32 struggled with those, they got real framey. On the GP2X it is very smooth.

​

Try Super Skidmarks for as real test of it's power. On the GP32 SS would clock in at 8fps @166mHz.

I'd be interested to hear how well it runs on the GP2X.

... Your forgetting drmdx is the 1st release for the gp2x. Give it time. perfection will come on swift wings

​

Well unless Reesy gets his Xbox 360. When that happens things may get mysteriously quiet on the coding front

 

[Alpha2]

wait , when you guys talk about the menu flickering you're talking about the screen with the scrolling dots in the back ground right? because I'm still on FW1.0 and I dont see any flickering.

​

it's x-crap 3shitty we're talking about here. I doubt it

 

[Alpha2]

Well concidering the manufactored "system shortage", there'll be plenty of time to code untill M$ thinks it in high enough demand to produce more.

Wow, this is REALLY nice, incredibly smooth

However, I've been having a really nasty problem with savestates and sram... four or five times now, seemingly at random, the emu will crash when trying to save sram or a savestate. When it does, the savestate / sram file becomes corrupt. It's done this to me on Shining Force II and Phantasy Star IV... I've started PSVI over thee times now :unsure:

Impressive as hell none the less I look forward to the end of the holidays, when I'll actually have spare cash to send off to so many devs that have made the GP2X scene a great place to be.

Edit: Sorry, i forgot completely about rules governing posts and topics discussed.

​

Yeah you are asking completely illegal stuff that can get us in a mess here, instead of asking us, try asking google and if you ask him the right questions you might find a nice torrent, oh wait.. I didn't say that no way. h34r:

Ps: man... I sure hope my SD arrives tomorrow so I can finally try all the new stuff for my 1 week old GP2x!

 

[deadlychicken22]

wait , when you guys talk about the menu flickering you're talking about the screen with the scrolling dots in the back ground right? because I'm still on FW1.0 and I dont see any flickering.

​

I have firmware 1.0 and I get insane flickering on the menu (running at 280mhz) but no flickering when playing the games.

​

It runs at 21 FPS on the GP2X at the standard clock speed. It seems pretty smooth to me.

 

[junker]

things are mad smooth at higher clockrate!
sonic and knuckles is perfect. it's blast playing games like rocket knight adventures on a handheld, despite joypad

 

[Epyx]

Don't have a GPX2 yet but this emulator is added incentive. Just sent 10 Cdn to Reesy as appreciation. Now if everyone who actually has a unit and the emulator would send Im sure he'd hit his target!

​

That's really weird but I'm assuming this is and issue with the hardware, maybe some of the screens are calibrated differently. hek my battery just died while i was on the rom menu and it was smooth as silk.

Alpha2.... read the readme. The menueflicker is a known problem and couln't be settled by reesy .. it's only with the 1.0 and so it's written in the readme.

I run a program made by robster which looked up all the internal stuff. There's quite a difference between fw 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

Check it out

 

[Alpha2]

read my post again I have 1.0 and I DO NOT get the flicker problem.

Does anyone know another way to get in touch with Reesy and ask if he can update this great emu for use with the F-200, besides the email associated with his Paypal account?
