The problem is:
1) how can you patch a commercial game
2) a lot of emulators have been abandoned without a source release
(so we cannot fix the problem)
3) Gamepark SUX and i wil personally disadvise anyone i know to buy a new GP32
4) Gamepark SUX

It might be patchable in the binaries (commercial, emu, whatever); ie: It may be possible to detect the init call in the code (if any..) and swap it to something useful. This could be an applied patch, or perhaps a patch done by the firmware. Not sure if its doable, given the variety of init calls people are doing, but you never know..
Many of the emus are under some form of work (rlyehs say); GPengine is a biggy though, but there'll be other tg16 emus :/

probably we should setup something like a petition list and show gamepark how ugly they became now.... i mean we always know they had bad support etc... but always kickin' their costumer in the ass is just a shame

What do you want?
Say, is OSNES9XGP still worked on? It suffers from the gray bar also...
Say, majick, how did you get ahold of working code...? :huh:

I sent him the new SDK and told him how to fix it

It turns out that Frodo doesn't link to the SDK. It has its own init code. So I just changed it and sent him the patch. Luckily it worked!
I actually bought my BLU for this emulator, so I'm working on fixing LCD code for it now. Unfortunately, OS9Xgp was built in a very weird way, and the source, well, it's a bit of a mess, so I can't get it to compile yet. I'll be working on it over the next few days, but meanwhile, if you know anyone who has success compiling OSNES, I would lovelovelove to send them a patch and save myself about 10 or 15 hours more work trying to get it to compile sanely.
Working LCD initialization code? The correct initialization values were quoted in a post somewhere in the forum so I just modified Frodo to use them. Do a search for "porch" and you'll find it. Or do you mean working source code? Mike posts the gpFrodo source on his site.
Or are you talking about my GPAdvance fix? I checked out the source code from Sourceforge CVS and just changed it to use the new BLU+ LCD initialization function (along with the name that shows up in the launcher) and recompiled it. The whole thing took like 10 minutes. I was actually just grabbing the GPAdvance source so I could use a certain piece of it to finish compiling Frodo.
Hey everybody!
Just got my BLU+ for crimbo and... well i could cry. I have tried many emu's games and apps and none seem to work. Here is what I tested
Every snes emu - the "Line"/speed probs/resseting
DRMD - Now this suprised me because aparantly this has recently been updated
for BLU. Well it didnt work and yes i changed the screen type. It only
seemed to work atall at 100mhz. Then it would either reset or fade to
white.
GPDoom - that friggin line
Quake - line
Beats if Rage - Dont work atall
Dungeons & Guarder - THIS IS A PISS TAKE. THE "OFFICIAL" GAME DOSENT
WORK!!!!!! Im willing to accept that mot homebrew software dosent work but the official release??? You wouldent take this of nintendo so why game park????
Well i was sooooo looking foreward to my gp32 and now i just wanna sell it. Yep 2 days after crimbo. Ive spent the past 48 hrs messing around with it only to have t resseting or messing up the screen. I got mine from gbax.com and i feel CHEATED. If they had mentioned on the website about the software problems i woudent have got one. They will hear from me. In fact im not going to sell it yet, I will hang in for a while. Im just upset

yeah, GP really screwed up with this one.. I worry that it will really hurt things. I know I'm not going to recommend anyone buys one until the commercial games get fixed (not that many people buy them, but I've got 5 or 6 myself..) -- its just not acceptible that the commercial games are broken at all. (Well, its not acceptibl homebrew is broken either, but perhaps we can work around it :/)

No problems with D&G in my BLU+, except for that one line at the bottom, which is a miniscule issue.

Bleh.
I didn't have any prblems with my Dungeon and Guarder on my BLU+, but then again, I was only playing for 10 mins so I didn't really play for long enough to notice much.
:EDIT: Going to play it now :EDIT:

Ah, I see what you mean by the scanline, but it's hard to notice and it doesn't get in the way of the game. I also found that that 'problem' is in GP Final War, but I think I have the old version of it (skirmish mode not available).

I also found out that D&G is kinda crappy game.

Does anybody know if my ScummVM builds work? They use the GPSDK for screen init but then some custom code for vairous graphics bits.
PS: Can someone pm me the details about the fixed init code? I am having a think day but I did not see an obvious thread.
