You guys your emulators are cool and all, but now that the GP2X is coming out, I don't want to feel like I'm playing some gp32_console , no offense but it is getting old... :unsure:

Could you guys add new, never-been-done features? :unsure: Think about it, things like a sprite ripper or cheat code finder(or something like that :D )or maybe even playing our own music while playing a game :ph34r: (maybe....).

Just thought I'd put that out there. Also what ideas do guys(or girls)have?




P.S. just a suggestion
 
I think we should try to work on getting them to work first. But how about this you now have the right amount of buttons for SNES! thats new. I think the music sounds cool but I don't know how you would do that without getting ride of all the sounds, it would varry from game to game.
But really I rather consintrate on getting working emulators then making new pointless stuff.
 
filters for emu's that run fast is something I'd like and support for cheat codes (and a good cheat searcher) would be great. However first I'd rather have the emus themselves ^^
 
Maybe a Game Genie/Action Replay support in the emu wouldn't be that hard to implement but a cheat code finder? That really isn't possible.
 
Some games allow you to turn off the music and leave the sound effects.... :)

Another question for you guys: Wouldn't it be cool if you could open a *.rtf file or something get gameshark(or AR or GameGenie)codes, copy them, and then paste them into the cheat list. That would be awesome(so I don't have to go to a website every time I need a code)! :D

And don't be shy just suggest some ideas already! :)

Good point yaustar, but still cheat code support would be awesome don't you think. Instead of playing you favorite games over and over and......you could input some codes and have some F'ing fun!!!!! :D

Screenshot exporter wouldn't be bad either.....

Easy, do an empty sound processor emulation function :)

Dont some emulators allow you to turn off a few of the sound channels? I kinda like the idea, maybe shut off the music channles and leave the noise channels on, but I still think it's better to get the emulators ported first before asking for "new" stuff.
 
Hmm, OMars made a new topic.

Let's see... yep, same old OMars type "I want this, go make it" post. And you gotta love the thinly veiled insult to GP32 emus.

Nice OMars. Really nice. <_<

Do you ever post anything that ISN'T about telling devs what you want? And out of curiosity - do you have any intentions of donating to devs in the future? Because you want an awful lot, I just hope you'll decide to give something back someday as well. Not saying you won't, but just mentioning the idea.

It isn't impossible or even overtly tricky. you simply add code that searches the Snes's Ram for certain values and gives you the ability to alter them. It does require a fair bit of coding to implement though and possibly eats a medium sized chunk of ram.

For instance to find a cheat for infinate lives you'd search for the number of lives you have (say 3) and get a large list of addresses which have that value. you then lose a life and search the same list for values which have changed to 2. Repeat and eventually you'll be down to one of two addresses. Change the value of this to 10 or something using the cheat finder and you'll find your character always has 10 lives no matter how many times you die, giving you infinate lives.

Your a tit, get over yourself. You wrote some FAQ's that nobody reads and you think you got a right to be a wanker to anyone you dont like . All you seem to do is put anyone without asmuch expericance as you down.

Didnt your mumma teach you, if you dont have anything nice to say don't.............

Im not just refering to this thread, But Its here you need to be told. stop been a twat your putting the newcomers off.

Well he did have a point, and the whole "i you don't have anything nice to say" thing is bullshit.
anyway, i like that idea of playing your own bg music with the game music off and SE on.
 
atsnom: You havent seen OMars previous threads have you?

To OP: When I was refering to cheat codes I meant things like
U U D D L R L R B A Start

Codes that are already in games rather then AR or GG codes..

A tit? What the fuck? Are you 7 years old? Well you know what, you're a stupid fucking n00b and Prophet has a point. You should lurk more, or just stop coming here all together.

He wrote a very good faqs that I have consulted twice (and i have been here for quite a long time). It is a great way to help new people understand what the gp2x is.

Have you seen Omars other posts? He only posts when he wants some developer to make an emulator/game that is designed exactly how he wants it. And, while everyone would like that, its not possible (at least not for free).

LOL! I'm not putting anyone off. You sound like an oversensitive little kid.

Really? That's "all" I do eh? I guess you would know, since you have 5 posts and probably don't know me at all till you came to this board. You've been here for what, a week or something? And you know "all" I do? Very impressive.

And....

Didnt your mumma teach you, if you dont have anything nice to say don't.............

Pot kettle black.

And mind you, I didn't insult anyone. But you did. Or at least, you tried to.

And I've done more than write that GP2X FAQ over the years, but since you're a total newb, you wouldn't know.

FWIW - I wrote what I wrote to OMars because I think it's a bit insulting to devs, and the GP32 scene in general, to basically say the GP32 emus are old fashioned, and devs need to add new features when they haven't even had a chance to get emus going yet on the GP2X. Plus seriously, his posts are always suggesting to devs what to do and what to work on. It's starting sound like some of the stuff I saw in the PSP scene, with hordes of kids complaining about emus lacking this feature, or not being fast enough, and demanding this or that - and that scares me a bit. Maybe I shouldn't care so much, but the Gp32 scene has always been extremely respectful of devs and I'd hate to see that change.

Getting involved in another fight thats nothing to do with you. LOL.

Prophet's post just has been taken harsher than it was ment.
