Again I'm very happy with current MAME GP2X status, it runs better than other MAME ports (palms, psp, gizmondo, symbian, etc).

​

This much is true. Outside of the xbox and PC the GP32/GP2X Mame's are top notch. Then there is a DC one that is pretty good.

I think it is a generational problem... I'm 31 years old and probably my classic favourite games are not the same as you...

MY work for the next versions will be speed improvements and increased compatibility... It would be cool to see colaboration from other coders...

Regards.

​

Ha ha, I'm 38 - mine are probably the same as yours !

Trouble with coding, is I spend all day at work doing it (embedded 'C' for cockpit systems), so I don't spend copious amounts of time doing it at home too.....

will the game " wardner" ever run on the gp2x mame?

​

Another Wardner fan!

 

[Franxis]

I expect you are also a fan of Gaplus, Salamander, MegaZone, Pang3...

No problem erikthecat 

I think it is a generational problem... I'm 31 years old and probably my classic favourite games are not the same as you... My favourites are the ones in my youth (Ghosts'n Goblins, Commando, Snow Bros, Pang... and also after that Neo·Geo and CPS-1 games, I was a child at Donkey Kong or Zaxxon times, but i still enjoy a lot playing these games eh  ).

Then i'm very happy with the current MAME GP2X status. I'm not motivated to spend a lot of work to add sound to Donkey Kong or Zaxxon... But MAME GP2X has not to be a single person work... I'm open to colaborations from everyone else...

Anyway my respect to DaveC, but i won't do the improvements he wish, only the improvements i want to spend my spare time...

Regards.

Is there a possibility that sound would be added later after you get the stuff that you want to finish first done? There will be a time when you run out of stuff. You will eventually run into the hardware limits and many new games won't be very playable after a point in time. I mean why spend the time trying to get outrun working at 6 fps with no sound when you could have many classics full speed and all sound? Wouldn't those would be more enjoyable for you even though they are not your favorite?

If it is true that you like to play these classics at times then wouldn't you yourself like to have sound working? For the sake of completeness I would think you would want all games fully working that are possible.

Those improvements (adding sound) isn't just for me. I know there are many GP2X MAME users that would love to have all of the classics working with sound. I do hope for some colaboration but so far that hasn't worked out. Maybe you are the only one with the skills to be able to handle the MAME code so well?

I am still hoping someday someone will help to make complete. It would be a shame to never be able to play these classics properly.

It is great what is working and it has come a long way. Thanks much for that.
