For Those Wondering.. My 2x Didn't Arrive Yet :(


So wait is jeff really good at coding or somthing? Don't blame me, I'm still a noob :p
 
Actually, not according to Mr. Webster:

"a personal religious teacher and spiritual guide in Hinduism"

;)
 
Oh really? Lol I thought it was a game based on the movie castaway............
 
I hope you get your gp2x soon skeezix! I never used Castaway on my gp32 but I plan on trying it out on the gp2x. If Reesy doesn't answer my PM soon i may have to send my donation money to someone else instead.....


....just kidding, don't worry reesy, i don't mind waiting to donate. Rlyeh will be getting a donation as well, on f-day :p And maybe, if I have some money left and find that I like castaway, you will see some $ as well. There's too many good devs for me to donate too and i'm having a difficult time deciding who. On the one hand, reesy's probably gotten a lot more donations than anyone else, but, on the other hand, reesy did make my most used emu on the gp32 and gp2x. And for that, he is the first candidate. I could just split my money up between all of the dev's, but then none of them would get very much :p

it is quite a tough decision.
 
im looking forward to the ST emu for space crusade, its the closest im gonna get to UFO enemy unknown until i can find it for the psx and try it on the emu.

Im definatly an amiga fanboy but the st will do fine if amiga is off the cards.

Best of luck on getting your 2x pronto - with any luck those guys down at the border'll let it across this time :)

Oh and... ahem... any chance of implementing gamma for the upcoming historic first release on the 2x by any chance? The one option it was missing on the GP32 lol!
 
w00t, its in the city now; they must do the border crap right in the facility when FedEx's expedites it. I really should have it tomorrow then, with luck. Finally!

I guess next week after work is a write-off :p

jeff

For tonight, its Quake-PSP.
 
Cool! I've been following the progress in this thread. I'm glad you're getting it at last :)
 
I wonder if gamma can be done in hardware.. hmm.. :)

Well, I'll work at things as fast as I can of course, but busy times for the next few weeks (a lot of 'stuff' going on in real life :/) However, I do expect to get a few things out pretty quick. You know me ;)

ie: My mode of operatoin is to release often with incremental upgrades; I don't like holding out for a few weeks and popping something out.. I prefer lots of releases, so people get things earlier, and they comment earlier; thus the end product is closer to where folks want it. The negative is tonnes of feedback consumes time, and managing peoples inputs can be troublesome.. but its how I've always done it, so I'm good at it ;)

So many things to do.. CaSTaway/Hatari/STonX/TOSemu, Retrocade, Descent, Manticore and some surprises.

I'm debating the ST-emu name; I've always been a big fan of CaSTaway but I keep haxoring it up, and when I merge in my own TOSemu, and hope to also include Hatari and STonX in the same GUI.. another name might be appropriate.

STalker, STrangelove, STart.. hmm. I had a good one picked up but can't recall it right now. STalin? ;) booST .. FauST ..

STyle

damndeST

evereST

froST / defroST

Heres one might be good.. outlaST?

ThruST

QueST

hmmm ;)

jeff

For those who don't know.. I've done a few things. Read a book once. Wrote some of the first arcade emus ever. Wasted too much life on Atari gear, and writing code for handhelds. Drank a lot of scotch.

Got one :) Actually got two, the first one had no headphone jack sound.

If you didn't get yours soon I was going to take a 7.5 hour drive up there and lend you mine :lol:

I'm having a blast with it. Actually just managed to setup a dev environment and compile some parallax scrolling SDL demo onto the GP2X.

My first pre-emptive feature requests: :p

1) Ability to load and run EXEs like those haxxored single parted games directly WITHOUT having to have them on disk images, kind of like GP2X Frodo and Atari-800 does. I hate faffing about with disk images.

2) when in mouse mode use case one from my chart (16-way). When in joystick mode use case 2 (8-way) for game playing.

Thanks, can't wait.

Good luck with the 2X Skeezix hope you like. Can't wait to try out CaSTaway, Playing the ST on a 2X will be cool, Its reason why I brought the machine.
 
tobytyke - will be good ;) Lots of work to do and thigns to fix, but it works pretty well on other platforms and should run nicely on the 2x; I expect most non-math-heavy games to run at 0fps with sound; if I can get an asm 68k core in, it could help speed it up even more (so lower mhz needed).

I was working on hdd emulation but I don't have enough documentation about the ST hardware there so its screwy, but I intend on bringing STonX into OutcaST (thanks OrR ;) as well, or at least STonX's hdd eulation as it works pretty well- so DaveC, that should get you some of the way. ie: Mount your SD card as an ST hard drive and run stuff there. (Thats hoy my BBS runs.. my hdd emulation lets you mount unix/linux filesystems into the ST. Works well enough for my bbs but not games :p)

Or maybe I'll write a file to fat importer so it can automagicly copy files in a direcdtory into a floppy image..

davec - control modes I'll have to see; I do like my mode system, but how best to control.. we'll see; your chart scares me ;)

Need to rewrite the audio system though.. its good 'enough', but its not great for longer samples (like mod players)..

So much to do ;)

Anyone able to make a nice full screen titlepage together, for OutcaST? :)
