My First Gp32 Is Here!!!!

[gobie73]

Hey,

My GP32 BLU came in the post this morning, its like heaven in a little box!!!! So many games to play I dont know where to start!!! Good old Rick Dangerous took up the first full hour and i just don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions for a good old blast from the past??? Sorry about the stupid topic but this is all new to me and i'm like a little kid with a new toy (exactly like one even though i'm 27!!!)

IMHO the best next step is Sega Genesis Emulator Dr.MD - it will entertain you for a few forthcoming weeks for sure Also dont forget Castaway and Frodo and SCUMM VM and there wont be any spare time in your life. And if you need GP32 native production and you like RPGs, then RogueClone is a must.

Hope it helps a bit. Enjoy your new GP32 and welcome to GP32 community.

You should go there :
http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/217
there is a demo of monkey island, and maybe of other games

 

[Mark]

There's some superb homebrew out; Smash GP, Lacuna, Darts, Electronia, Giana's Return etc.

 

[falken80]

[cozmic]

You should start with th older game systems like coleco etc.

And go to newer systems in steps.
Otherwise you will be spoiled uickly.

You only need some files from the game, so either version should be fine. CD versions are usually just "talkie" versions, and you can even extract the speech to .ogg, and play with speech.

Readme in ScummvmGP has more details on the files needed and such.

And there are few officially released/free'ed titles that work with Scummvm, I believe Beneath the Steel Sky is one, and I think it works on ScummvmGP. Available from main Scummvm site. B)

Edit: From ScummvmGP32 readme:

haha screw that. jump right into gpengine + osnes, DrMD! there's nothing like seeing those high quality (good lookin) 16bit games in your hand right when you just got a brand new GP32!!

(the novelty will war off and then you'll go dig thru the older stuff, if it is your thing... most likely, if you bought this system!)

 

[Jarska333]

Chances are, his BLU is a BLU+, so OSNES doesn't work... Yet!

 

[gobie73]

I think its just a BLU when i run DrMD and change screen type to taiwanese its all messed up but is stable when samsung is selected. So have I struck lucky??

Simon

 

[V3X]

[Wolfsclaw]

[gobie73]

Just make sure you don't download them on a p2p network. Yes that would be free, convenient and quick but... um... it's immoral?

Hi,

I got Monkley island 1 and 2 as a collection set on CD rom, it also had monkey island 3 to play on Pc and best of it was cheap if I xcan remember about 10-15 pounds. Im sure you'll find a copy somewhere

You just copy the game file from the CD to the gp32 SMC as it days in the scumm Readme.

I also love the Doom and Beats of rage mods, For doom, Half Life and Goldeneye are great ones For Beats of rage try Hyper Final fight, it rocks.

Steve.

Try going down the NES route. Even if like my old GP32 yours underclocks this still works great
Anyway the NES was and still can be a great console. There's not to many time consuming amazing games to play on it though, a lot are simply arcade remakes. Here's a few roms that I highly recommend for you to find:

Contra
Super Mario Brothers 3
Final Fantasy
Zelda
Kirby (the best in my opinion)
Manic Mansion

Have fun, most of bought our GP32's so we could emulate our favourite consoles. So think what yours is and just start playing it on the GP32. But the GP32 also introduced me into amazing consoles that I was never introduced to even in my youth since I'm to young. So just hunt around EvilDragon's amazing site:
http://www.gp32x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi
And just play round. The first few weeks of discovery with your beloved GP32 will be great!
