Great stuff, I just got frodo working probably when I installed the new firmware. More C64 fun.

First, HUGE thanks for Frodo. This and UAE are the MAIN reasons I got a GP2x - and its much appreciated.

I'm having troubles loading old EA games (namely Legacy of the Ancients). I've tried 1541 emulation (this usually fixes them in other emulators) but this still fails. Any thoughts or help appreciated.

Again, than you SO MUCH for this!

* Hardware scaled screen option to see the full borders

Does this mean you've used the hardware scaler chip in the gp2x? I thought nobody knew how to use it yet?

The simple purpose I've used it for isn't difficult. Probably the issue is not that people don't know how to use it but rather that support for it is not built into the gp2x sdl library yet. Frodo's not using sdl any more so that's not a problem for me.
