Ginge

[markpeterjameslegg]

you can start (almost) every application/game/emulator that was written for the gp2x and wiz with it.
it's like a layer in between that compiled binaries are thinking they're running the hardware they wre compiled for.
some apps have compatiblity problems, but lots will work just out of the box.

hope that makes any sense to you.

Sure does, thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks a lot Notaz!!!
I did a quick test with seven GP2X games:
Camelot Warrior (OK);
Cave Story 1.04 (OK);
Drill2X xtreme (OK);
Knight Lore (OK);
Methane Brothers (OK);
Nebulus GP2X (doesn't work);
Tail Tale (doesn't work).

I tried other 7 GP2X games and all work perfectly!
Amoebax, Dastardly Dungeon, Jump'n'bump, Lady Killer, Protozoa, Ruckman and Space Varments.

Does Ginge run GP32, GP32X, and Wiz applications as well?

 

[Rikku2000]

yeah cool verge3 works too

 

[Wilhood]

Tried a few things ,cant seem to get gp2x or wiz versions of vice to work.

 

[RupeeClock]

That's just gp2xmenu, I don't think I'm going to bother fixing it up.

Ah, alright then.

If you use GP2X version of CS there is gp2x_buttons.txt file there where you can change this.

Ah, that looked like an ordinary readme sort of file, not a config file! Gotta try that.

I don't think I have rights for this, I'm not the author of CS.

I understand.

Not at the moment, but you can write custom script (see response to norm below)

You need to set correct working directory:

  cd /mnt/sd/game/gp2x/doukutsu/
  /mnt/sd/emulator/ginge/ginge_prep ./doukutsu.gpe

Cheers, I gotta try this.
Edit: it didn't work, I gotta admit I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Nice one Notaz this is fantastic news for the caanoo scene... Anyone tried the psx4all gp2x version?

[paul3100]

Hey this is great thank you very much

Is this the end of dedicated homebrew for the caanoo though now everything or almost everything works from the gp2x and wiz!!!

[ruffnutts]

Could someone post a youtube video of this in action bit to busy to try it out @ the mo

 

[RupeeClock]

It isn't much, but I have a photo of Cave Story running on my Caanoo.

 

[alyinsanfran]

Holy crap! Somehow I missed this entirely. Does this mean I can get OutcaST/CaSTaway running on my Caanoo?

 

[Popcorn Dave]

Niiiiice. Gonna hopefully try this out later.

Has anyone tried the Wiz version of Pocketsnes using this? Does it run better than the current Caanoo version? (Especially difficult games like Kirby Super Star, Yoshi's Island etc.)

 

[ruffnutts]

Very nice photo - I just tried psx4gp2x it did work but very slow and I could only change the CPU to 320mhz

 

[nkldmt]

what about the best versions of pocketsnes, uae and finalburn alpha (either for the simple gp2x or the wiz)?
Do they work and how efficiently? If they do, it would be enough for me to buy a caanoo...

 

[Gab1975]

Did anyone manage to start Firewhip, The Amazing Adventures of Echo and Guru Logic for Wiz?
If so, what is the correct procedure?

 

[redlemon]

You have my eternal thanks for this notaz. Haven't tried much yet but I'll post my findings later.

 

[ruffnutts]

Now its out I dont no what to play first lol

 

[alyinsanfran]

Notaz YOU ARE THE MAN! I just got Stunt Car Racer working on CaSTaway. I've been wanting that game for ages.

I just sent you 20 Euro via PayPal for helping the community so much. Awesome!

 

[BAFelton]

Notaz : Thank YOU !

Great work. I am having a problem though. I can't seem to get anything to load. How exactly am I supposed to set everything up on my card. Even tried the PC Engine emulator mentioned above but no cigar.
