Hey All, Been Awhile!

[Akuma no Houkon]

Remember me? Yeah some of you do!

Anyway, in about a month I will find myself with a large amount of free time and I was thinking about getting back into GP development (and even release a game or two that I finished for the original GP32 and didnt release).

Trouble is money is tight right now, I see some decent ads in the marketplace, I might try and sell some items on ebay and grab one, anyway I will let you all know if I manage to pick myself up a new GP anytime soon

I don't know if I really remember you, but hi.

 

[greenmikey]

I have asked about you in the past, I'm REALLY glad you came back. You had some fun addictive games released in the past. I don't know why but im really excited! Best of luck!

 

[Iorgy77]

I remember you buddy

Remember that one time we got drunk on guard duty and let the elephants out for a walk? Boy did we get in trouble... and that time we hired the strippers for BringOutTheGimps Bar Mitzvah!! Heh, that rabbi was not impressed... ahhh good times... good times.... :lol:


wait a minute... that wasnt you? :blink:







Of course I do remember your great games for the gp32 though. Welcome back!

 

[yaustar]

Booya, I wondered where you want during the GP32 days Electronia severely rocked! Welcome back!

 

[Tobriand]

Welcome back! Hope you manage to get back on the GP bandwagon - it's proving quite a ride at the moment

 

[Blah]

Your site is down...

 

[DaveC]

Yeah I remember you. We were talking about a menu replacement for the GP32. That is pretty much handled like that with GMenu2X on the GP2X now. I don't use the GP32 much anymore now that I have the GP2X but I liked your games for the GP32. Welcome back.

Yeah, I moved to a different state, had a new kid, and built a house, I ran out of free time to work on homebrew. But now I am in a situation where I will have an abundance of free time and I want to port my GP32 games to the GP2X, including my unreleased game (that I find better than all the rest) and start on a new project, but I need to get money together for a GP2X first. I was thinking about setting up a paypal for possible donations, but I have asked other communities for donations in the past (to keep many of my free projects going) without results.

Anyway, is there a good GP2X emulator (for Linux) like GeePee32 was for the GP32? I might try and get started with a port...

 

[cowai]

No, there is no gp2x emulator... Anyways, I believe Squidge was working on one some months ago...

I'm considerably new to the scene, so I don't remember you, but all this makes me all excited! Wish you good luck with your future-gp2x!

 

[Quiest]

Welcome back

 

[Titcher]

Wow, it's Quiest too!

Well, Squidge is working on one. However, the GP2X pretty much fully supports SDL so you can easily port the game to SDL for the PC and then at a later date, recompile it for the GP2X.

You may also want to take a look at rlyeh's minimal library for the GP2X if you prefer going low level.

The only problem with that is I hate SDL with a passion. Telling a media lib to execute code in another media lib is redundant. I prefer to access the real lib directly without the added overhead. Even if it means platform specific code.
