Gp2xhandy - Atari Lynx Emu

[tuskenraider2k]

Hello,

I've ported my complete source code to the gp2x

a little benchmark with chip's challenge:
GP32 (156mhz, frameskip 2, no sound):
70fps
GP2X (frameskip 2, no sound):
104fps

A lot more games are now playable with sound But not all run in full speed yet.

here is the link:

[chaos engineer]

so, this means you updated your lynx emulator for the gp2x. Looking forward to try this out as I love many of the atari lynx games.

 

[tuskenraider2k]

Yes, exactly.

 

[Gruntfuggly]

Bugger. Now I will definitely have to buy one...

 

[Cyclops]

Any reason on earth why I should get a black screen?

edit: added smile that question sounded too harsh

 

[DaveC]

Cool I will have to try later.

 

[Belgarath]

This is an amazing release! Rygar plays with sound at a near constant 60fps with only fs1. Thank you for such a great emulator!

 

[0-bake]

hurray! that is so great.
thank you very much.

 

[stevenpannell]

seems I need the LYNXBOOT.IMG to get this going. How do get one these?

 

[remowilliams]

Hot damn! This is sweet!

Battle Wheels with sound! Nice job!

Try Google. Technically it's illegal to redistribute so no one here can link to it.

hm, i'm sad

the emulator looks so good, i tried it with a few games, especially california games, and it's almost unplayable because of that shitty joypad :angry:

i now compared it directly to the GP32 and the new PSP lynx emulator, then compared the C64 emus and a few others and i have to say that the GP2X is pretty unusable.

in california games bmx part, it's nearly impossible to drive just straight forward, because you always move up or down accidentally.
with a normal d-pad it is impossible to move up or down by pressing forward (or pressing right).
i now think, the only really solution will be a hardware mod

Maybe (probably) he is not using a case 2 config. If he used that it would be better.

Tuskenraider, Could you implement the case 2 type control (chart in my sig) that would improve the control, Thanks.

Ive got the LYNXBOOT.IMG but its still not working?

 

[Wobedraggled]

OMG this runs good, too fast with the clock turned up, great work.

My only suggestions make the fonts a little bigger and more readable in the menus.

Otherwise awesome job.

Keep searching and trying different LYNXBOOT.IMG 's until it runs....

 

[TelcoLou]

Very VERY nice!

Tip: To enable sound w/o having to keep changing it in the menu, just alter the autorun.txt file:

emu/handy/nScreenMode=2
emu/handy/nAudioEnabled=1
emu/handy/nSkipFrameValue=0
emu/handy/nGammaCorrection=10
emu/handy/nShowFPS=0

* I also turned off the FPS indicator; 0=off, 1=on

 

[LIZARDKING]

I can get it to run but then it says no roms found press start to exit.

My roms end with .lnx

they work w/ the other Handy Emu for the GP2X.

Any tips!?!?
Thnx!!

What is your file structure set up as? Also, are you sure you have the correct lynxboot.img file? I got the same message after seeing a brief message stating "cannot find lynxboot.img" ... I forgot to put it in the handygp2x folder, where the roms go ...

Is a blank black screen related to a bad lynxboot.img? Ive tried 2 and both times i select the .gpe file it goes to a black screen. My roms are .zips if that means anything.
