GP32x Gp spain Challenge contribution

[declaration]

I was thinking about the Challenge that gp32spain.com is running. I thought it was a good idea to reward coders who we all appreciate so much. I then saw the danger of many people setting many different challenges all with small rewards.

I think it would be a good idea if us a community had a discussion and maybe a vote on what we'd like to see made and then everybody who wanted to from this site and beyond could make a donation. This way, many people could give a little which would amount to quite alot.

more details of the challenge can be found here

What do people think??

Fulll Speed Snes and Amiga emulator are both good challenges

 

[kraahl]

I could donate some, like $10 for full speed SNES. Maybe a little bit more.

How about we all chip in a little for SNES?

i could live with that. Could put £10 or so in..... probably more. What do other people think?

I'd donate 10 dollars for fullspeed SNES emulation with soundp
With out sound I wouldn't donate.

 

[Shane]

yeah full speed with sound. About a third of the game is the music/sound fx. I would totally like a gamemaker program. Now that would be fun. There should be a Hardware contest, maybe a phone connection or extrenal modem connection. That would be nice im thinking of doing that but I cant write bios/programs. If someone could do that I could try to make an internet cable/phone cable that works

How does this work...If i put in 300$ for a snes emu and i want 90-100% speed with sound, save-states, framelimiter, frameskip etc, do i get the money back if that goal is not met?

I have no idea if it is possible to get 100% full speed snes emulation on the GP. To me its like magic that i can run snes at all on my GP as it is now (i have no idea how to programm). So I don´t wanna trow away alot of money if it is not possible...

 

[Shane]

yeah you get ur money back if ur standards aren't met. You pledge to give that much, then if the challenge is met you pay for it.

 

[Azure]

FULL SPEED SNES EMULATOR WITH SOUND (4 FS or less)!

 

[RIPPER]

Azures on the Money...full speed snes + sound on gp32 will need god to programing it : )

 

[shotaway]

what about my amiga emu..i want that a lot more than snes...
i had an amiga...still have all my disk's...i think.

 

[karadan]

Core 68000 motorola in Asm, is the best! CORE, CORE, CORE.

 

[Steve-O]

i had an amiga...still have all my disk's...i think.

Yea, I got over 300 Amiga GAmes / Discs...

 

[kraahl]

If you are going to put in a joint effort here we need to agree on the terms.
SNES:
Fullspeed with sound at FS 5 with savestates
Or?

 

[declaration]

snes emu full speed with sound at fs4 with a screen stretch option!!
We need to try and get as many people as possible to contribute ideas and then finally stump up the money....
If people take an active part in the debate over a community donation, they will be more likely to be willing to give money....

 

[Rico]

I'll put some $$$ towards the 68k core which helps both MAME and Mega Drive/Genesis speed! Although I gotta say those two GP32Spain challenges look the same... I think the top one is a more generic bet.

 

[thebluenewt]

Fullspeed with sound at FS 5 with savestates

I don't like anything over 3, gives me a headache...

 

[bringoutthegimp]

yeah me too frameskip 5 is unplayable to me and fs 4 sucks

 

[declaration]

alright then fullspeed at f/s 3 or slower with sound and screen stretch. What about other features such as saves etc?

i dont think that screenstretch is really needed. it fills most of the screen as it is anyway.
