Help With Some Things...

[kulak4]

Hi.
I've already written in this section, but I have other problems...
1. I can't force duke2x to work. I copied all files that were mentioned in README, put in the proper directories and all I get is a black screen (sometimes with a cursor icon). I tried to use both normal & atomic edition...The strange thing is that even filed copied from version that had worked on GP32 BLU + didn't help...
2. FishyNES i fceu - I made a proper directory with roms and put it next to the "GAMES" folder - nothing. I put it in the "GAMES" - nothing. I put it in the NES emu folder - nothing. I smashed GP2X on the wall - nothi...No, not this tale, forget the last one .
3. PSX4GP2x - tried two BIOS files (1001), named it correctly & all I get is a black screen with "Loading bios" phrase...Tried to load rom (Metal Slug, ~ 100MB) instead o trying to load BIOS first - the same...Even turning sound off & other options from the menu didn't work.
4. OutcaST - TOS image, named correctly (taken form working emu on GP32 BLU +) & emu "can't open TOS" (or crap like that)...Exit to the menu included.
5. Does anybody managed to run "GTA" on GPSP? In my case it only shows the "Gameboy" logo...Is there a method to make GP2x open packages like "2 roms in one" (it's just one rom with option of choosing a game)?
6. Where is a MAME compatibility list? Emu doesn't even see e.g "Violent Storm" game (beat'em up), that should run easily...
Allright, I hope somebody will give me a hand .

What's your GP2X type and firmware version? It sounds much like your firmware's screwing up. Not all official GPH firmwares where perfect...

 

[kulak4]

Firmware version 2.1.0. It's already been like that when I bought it. Any suggestions?

I suggest upgrading to 2.1.1, you can find it on the archive.

EDIT: Although I haven't had much trouble with emulators in FW 2.1.0...

 

[kulak4]

Will do, but what about other questions (like 5 & 6)?

 

[morgushong]

5: no.

 

[kulak4]

And maybe more precisely? No to both or only to GTA or "volume pack"?

 

[kulak4]

I wanted to download firmware ver. 2.1.1., but there is one, little problem - THERE ISN'T ONE IN ARCHIVE! I want to ask if ver. 2.1.2. is good (in my situation/problem), because I don't want to "brick" my GP2X F-100...Will it even help?

 

[aaron11193]

I don't think you can successfully skip a version, you need to install 2.1.1 and then 2.1.2.

I have a copy of all the firmwares from 2.0.0 -> 2.1.2 on my computer, PM me and I'll find a way to get the ones you want to you.

2. FishyNES i fceu - I made a proper directory with roms and put it next to the "GAMES" folder - nothing. I put it in the "GAMES" - nothing. I put it in the NES emu folder - nothing. I smashed GP2X on the wall - nothi...No, not this tale, forget the last one .

Not sure about this one, but why not just use GPFCE instead?

5. Does anybody managed to run "GTA" on GPSP? In my case it only shows the "Gameboy" logo...Is there a method to make GP2x open packages like "2 roms in one" (it's just one rom with option of choosing a game)?

I remember reading that GTA for the GBA doesn't work in gpSP.

6. Where is a MAME compatibility list? Emu doesn't even see e.g "Violent Storm" game (beat'em up), that should run easily...
Allright, I hope somebody will give me a hand .

There is a gamelist.txt included in it that lists all the games it supports, but not all of them will work though and some might be slow.

 

[kulak4]

Allright...aaron11193 didn't answer my PM, so I'll give a little suggestion. Maybe somebody "found" a firmware 2.1.1., 2.1.2., complete Duke folder, working psx & atari bios on e.g. rapidshare and could "not" send me PM with link to it? I would really "not" appreciate it...

I think that lack of suggestion was the reason why aaron11193 didn't answer (the fact is, that every GP user is an...ekhm..."outsider", no matter how big his game collection is). I think that this time the message is rather clear...

Didn't see that answered. My dir layout below. This is functional.

Suggestion didn't work to well, so may you write the exact size of scph1001 (mine is 512 KB large) and Tos (mine is Tos102us.img - 196 608).
Thanks bman, it's better than nothing .
