Mame Gp2x 2.8 W.i.p

[Franxis]

- New and faster threaded sound core... A lot faster, i'm still surprised, no more slowdowns in games like Iron Horse, Black Tiger, ...
- More stable MMU hack...
- Some compatibility fixes...
- Support for up to 4 USB Joypads...
- etc...

Wicked, can't wait!

 

[Iorgy77]

Bring it on!!!

 

[garengarch]

Sounds great, thanks for your work

Wow, time for me to build a new mini-mame cabinet using the gp2x I think!

 

[chaos engineer]

what's about the old sega racers? Franxis, is there any hope that games like outrun, enduro racer, hang-on will be supported by your excellent mame emulator? And what is about Pole Position?

I know, they are not 0.34, but still?

Any chance the 'fast' samples in invaders can be speed-corrected - ie it's currently playing 8kHz at 11kHz?

Such a short topic, incredible news, and no link... is this a troll?? :lol:

more seriously, threaded sound core means, using the 940?

Thanks, please keep up the good work!

Estaremos esperando la proxima version con ansias!

Franxis is not working on the samples, it's probably my responsibility. I have a solution to this and the samples now play correctly. Same for DK. Will release soon.

BTW - nice work on the sound for GP2X Franxis - looking forward to seeing this in action!

>>And what is about Pole Position?

Yes, I've been working on getting this one going too. And Wardner. And a few others.

Converting from post-0.34/0.35 can be difficult...

Thats great news, will Trojan work in this new mame? It seems to be the only game that
doesn't work right.

Cool do you think the static on some sounds (chest beat, girders falling in intro) in DK will be fixed and maybe more sounds working on DKjr? If so do you think they would make it into the GP2X version?

Thanks for all of the great work.

Probably not.

Threading is a method of multitasking bits of code. Threaded code can run on a single CPU or multiple CPUs, however the Linux on GP2X doesn't recognize the 940 as a second CPU.

Oh yes, I got most of the sounds working on DKjr.

There is no change in quality of sound though. This will require a better playing sample playing mechanism.

Pole Position, one of my favourites, cool to hear that. Will it work on the forthcoming gp32 version as well?

And what's about the mentioned Sega racers (Outrun, Enduro Racer and Super Hang-On)? System 16 is supported and I heard that the Outun hardware is only an adaption of System 16. So, it should be possible. What do you think?

EDIT: I googled around. Outrun is a speacial hardware and Enduro Racer and Super Hang-On run on the Space Harrier arcade system, should be difficult though

How does SF2 run with the lastest build?

Would be happy if just this 1 game ran perfect tbh!

 

[washo]

wow
that may ba what I was waiting to get a BoB...
Im too lazy to try su I will ask here:
Does TV out work with MAME?

see you :lol:

It works with the existing MAME GP2X 2.7 (standard executable, video and audio clock at 100%).

Slaanesh, you are doing an incredible work!

You have to use the new sound core with the GP32...

Excellent news - sorry to go on about the samples
All sounds impressive - no idea how things can be improved from what I've seen, but am looking forward to it.
