Gba Emu

that pic is a fake it has to be a bit darker on the sides

 

[Sponge BoB]

didnt he say he was going to try dynamic compiling or sumthing in his original posts meaning that their would be no limit on the size of rom we use?

 

[DrJones]

That picture is from this games magazine on TV called Gammo (gammotv.nl). They are using this faux GP32 picture so they can frame their GBA reviews in something. Rather silly.

When Upgrading to 32 megs of ram you have to change all FXE's. Would the original authors have to do this or is there a way to do it with a suave utility.

If so, does it exist?

 

[Andross]

ROFL, notice where the buttons and the control stick are positioned in that pic

I think if you change your your BIOS to a 32M one then you wont have to change all your fxe.
they will still work but they wont use all the 32M available...only the 8M they were designed for.
I you wanna make a 32M compatible fxe then you have to change something in the SDK but dont remember what...sorry my knowledge about that stops here...

see you :lol:

The 32M BIOS just makes it to possible to boot with 32M mod, allows accessing that extra 24M memory and makes the rest of the system not to overwrite the additional required MMU tables. The SDK has no way to allocate memory from the upper 24M ram area without some additional hacks etc to the SDK code. Older FXEs work just out of box if they follow the SDK/BIOS rules in memory handling.

THe guy who has the 32mb mod instructions on his site * www.cobbleware.com or somtin* has coding that you can mkae a FXE 8 MB and 32MB compatable, it detects weither you have 32MB mod or not.

 

[greenmikey]

I took a look around and found the exact link you were talking about (I think)

http://www.cobbleware.com/gp32/gp32ram.html

I really hope mashmods starts doing this. Then I could have more ram and a fatty glass screen.

 

[diablo2]

we want mash mods to do a lot

when you think about it if you could upgrade the ram why couldn't you make the speed like ultra high much higher than 166 then if 1 & 2 make it slower you could speed it up

do i know what i'm talking about?

the power to the CPU dosen't matter on the amount of RAM, the CPU can handle only so much. the powerflow might fry it

i new that

its this i needed to know

thanks

If this came out as a dual 32-8mb fxe, I would send my GP to be upgraded. Although I'd prefer to find somewhere within the UK to do it...

 

[argon0]

Yeah - Post to States, then 3 days hten back again....

If GBAX started doing it I'd definitely send mine in, c'mon Craig you know you want to!!!

I know you wanna more news : so here you are :

bonheur, bonheur !

- J'ai réussi à faire un genre de "patchage" du bios gp32 grâce à la MMU. Il n'y aura donc jamais besoin de changer de bios comme je l'avais dis avant.
C'est à dire qu'on pourra (en théorie*) charger les roms > 4 Mo, avoir des infos sur les plantages (pratique pour les programmeurs ou pour savoir pourquoi une rom ne marche pas) et surtout ça me règle définitivement le problème des SWI (comme je peux activer et désactiver la MMU quand je veux, je peux à tout moment décider d'utiliser les SWI de la gp32 ou ceux de la GBA)

- Autre grande nouvelle : en partie grâce à ce que je viens d'écrire, il n'y aura plus besoin de patcher les roms pour qu'elles marchent (à la poubelle rom_converter). J'ai déjà un peu essayer et ça a l'air de marcher

--------------------------------

* en théorie :
Vu les problèmes légaux qui se présentent, et surtout vu que je tiens pas à causer du tord à tous les développeurs gba, j'aimerai assez trouver une solution pour éviter le piratage. Limiter le chargement des roms à 1 Mo par exemple serait radical, mais je préfererai plutôt une solution du genre JoyGP, on acheterait ses jeux GBA qui auraient un format de fichier spécial, et qui ne marcheraient que pour sa propre console.
Si vous avez des idées pour ça, ça m'intéresse.

I managed something like a patch for the GP32 BIOS using the MMU. There is no need anymore to flash the BIOS as I previously said
So (***theorically***) it will be possible to load roms >4M, having informations about crashing (usefull for devrs so they will know where it crash) and the best is that this solve the SWI issues (I can activate or desactivate the MMU whenever I want. I can chose when I want to use the SWI from the GP32 or from the GBA)

Another big news : Thanks to what I wrote there will be no rom convertor anymore to make the roms working (I tried and it should work)

(***theorically***):
Because of legal issues and because I dont want to cause troubles to GBA devrs I would be pleased to find a way to avoid HACKING. Limiting roms to 1M would be for eg too much radical...So I think about something like JoyGP: man would buy converted roms (encrypted for each GP32)
If you have ideas then tell me...

see you :lol:

Tell enf45 (whatever) this:

(1) You'd need permission from the games company to do that
(2) They probably won't give it to you
(3) If they don't give permission, selling ROMs would be 101% illegal
(4) Nintendo would kill the emu if anything was sold for it, permission or not

Bottom line: Thats a HORRIBLE idea.

this have already been said on Yaronet....
But he will decide what to do...

Sooooooooooo true....

see you :lol:

 

[lizard808uk]

Nintendo will put his ass in a pipe and smoke it if he does that :blink:

 

[Wolfsclaw]

nintendo cant do anything to a single coder in france (!), because
1) the us laws dont count there
2) the emu wont be sold so its easy to share it.
only thingh big n could do is to get a sniper who finishs enf65 off.

and please no gp32 encrpytion thingy, that would be horrible, i wanna play the games 4 free -_-

 

[GPnator]

damn <_< the Z will have it for free and we? :blink:
