Linking Two Gp2xs Together

It's possible if they are on the same network. No cable needed. Good luck getting an emulator with netplay, though.
 
You'd think that, but there aren't many applications at all that supported the GP32 RF-Link.

That's 'cause Gamepark never released the libraries for it to public use. :rolleyes:

And for some reason the one homebrew developer that figured it out only shared the code with one other developer for use on one emulator (if I recall correctly, it was a GG/SMS emulator).

All I really want is SNES multiplayer support :p That would rock to play multiplayer SNES with my bro. wherever we r.

His idea is actually quite sound, lock the clocks over the LAN or a link cable, send button presses for the pads over the link, the emulator plugs in the data for the correct controller, sounds good.

Too bad you need a friend with a GP2X (or 2 GP2X's), I don't have any friends as nerdy as I am about this kind of stuff :(.

Another thing that might be fun is on-the-fly changing of your controller, switch both to controller one and play the same character :).

About TV-Out, you could play multi-player on one screen just fine, all you would need is USB pad support and one of these: http://www.retrousb.com/

Or if you want to play against your kid set him in your lap and both play on the GP2X screen, :) bond with your kid the way nerds do, by video games :D.

As far as on the topic stuff, it is entirely possible to code for TCP/IP if anyone wants too, or simply through the serial port on the GP2X would be much simpler, but that would be much harder.

To get everybody off on the right foot we could have an open-source coding competition for multi-player code, Pong and Tank clones running over the Net or Serial (or both), just to iron out how to make it work.

I am proud to present to you the world's first fully* functional GP2X-Link(tm) (Patent pending) cable. Included in this post are two pictures.

The first one shows a close-up shot of said GP2X-Link(tm) cable.


the second one is an image of the GP2X-Link(tm) in action**


artistic freedom allows us to only display one GP2X and leaving the second one to your imagination. Blur has been added to enhance the artistic value of my work and does not result from poor skills in digital photography.

Our company's philosophy has always been "fuck the others" so of course i can not diclose the means that went into producing the GP2X-Link(tm) or any manufacturer involved. Yet, the GP2X-Link(tm) will soon retail at an affordable price of not less than 4005$ us. Coders can buy the cable to a special price of only 3999$ us. This might sound much, but the effort involved in producing one of those magnificent GP2X-Link(tm) cables is enourmos and you'll get great bang for your bucks. You can even preorder your own personal GP2X-Link(tm) which will come with a personal greeting card from me.

Valid payment methods are: your girlfriend (if she's hot and legal), your sister (if she's hot and legal), cash, my own country, credit card
Paypal is NOT accepted.

The GP2X-Link(tm) will be sold exclusively by me, it wont be obtainable somewhere else (if it will, i'll sue their ass!)

enjoy

Horscht Inc.

*not yet tested
** no actual action shown due to missing software supporting our awesome GP2X-Link(tm) and licensing problems
the whole cable is currently a prototype only. Preorders are not guaranteed to be shipped or produced at all.
Horscht Inc. does not guarantee any software to be written to be used with the GP2X-Link(tm)
 
The GP2X has USB networking

basicaly what this is:

it's a hub. in which both GP2Xes are in a network.

now my three headed code-monkeys need to code the software for it!

NOTE: GP2X-Link(tm) is 1000x times better than a standard USB hub! I call it the HMUUSB (Horscht's Magnificent Uber Ultra Serial Bus)
