Off To Korea, Gpx2 Awaits!

Here's some news (or an absence thereof):

Dear consumers

We are very sorry but the release of the new product name will be delayed.
In oder to make better name,we are racking our brains.
As soon as we made a decision we will let you know.

Thank you,
Anna Hong

LOL! Gotta give Anna credit for knowing that phrase "racking our brains."

They got so many name ideas from people, plus all the ones on the Korean side as well. It really must be hard to pick one.

To Craig:

Any info on commercial games for GPX2? Titles, screenshots etc.?

 

[pea]

oooh. I like Craigs news. Tell us now! 'we are going to like it'
I'm thinking that dev'rs are able to make full use of both CPU's! oh yeah!

Hi,

Just been having a day off today and exploring the city.

Hardware wise I think it can do everything we hoped (for devs yes you can do BOTH those things and that includes booting from SD and not the OS).

However until monday I can't say much more.

I have footage of it in use and some new pictures of the unit, but curently I have no way to get them onto the net.

Both? I hope the other thing is the co-processor is fully programmable. But being able to boot directly from SD is pretty cool. If those are the two things you mean, then this will be a great system (with a lot of potential for emulation).

Too bad about the pics/video. Maybe a card reader at an internet cafe? Email them to Guyfawkes or Hando etc? Even just a few photos would be awesome.

 

[Vimacs]

that sounds great, so when booting from sd/without os we basicialy have a gp32 on stereoids without anytihng hooking power in the back?

 

[Squidge]

Sounds like it could be going to way Mirko was hoping to the Ninja - read a file of SD card and run that, which could be an emulator, game, or even an alternative os.

/me getting very interested now

Can someone pass me a towel?

Just pre-ordered.

Hmm the ability to bypass the linux OS and go to the hardware directly, that sounds good. All of that RAM and CPU for apps sounds like it will be great. The Linux nerds still have their OS if they want it too. Craig's post also sounds like the co-processor can be used. Perfect SNES may be a possibility now. With the cyclone 68000 core being close to being perfect (it may be after this weekend, thanks Reesy) maybe even perfect Amiga, ST, Megadrive for sure, Neo Geo. This could be the best emu system for a long time.


Devs: Since the second CPU is general purpose do you think it possible to say write a tile and sprite engine to run on it and then use the main CPU for emulating the system CPU etc? If so the second cpu can become any emulated system's GPU and the main ARM can become the emulated system's CPU sound etc. If it is possible then WOW... Maybe even GBA..

Gba IS gonna be possible. Mabe not full 60-70 fps. But im preaty sure its gonna get to a point where its gonna be playable.

 

[x68000]

who the hell wants 70fps??????? 60 fps is the max for any console that the gpx2 will ever emulate.

maybe that can go in brain89's lol file!

​

I thought the same thing when I saw that post. GBA at 70fps. :blink: Hehe.

 

[reallynotnick]

fine don't post it in quicktime (h.264 rocks) but as long as it is not Realplayer, windows media player, or mpeg1. I am happy.

I really want to see how this thing looks in person, and how bright the screen is. Can't wait to get my hands on this puppy.

​

I think some developer (sounds promising, eh?) said that linux won't lower the performance because of it being loaded into the NAND-RAM (still, I guess it would require resources from the CPU...), but that would give other reasons for using it rather than being a linux nerd :rolleyes: (multiple processes, WiFi, etc...)

Just a note:

GP32Spain is getting 5 or 6 GPX2's from GPH for various devs. And I also read that Rlyeh is getting one as well, not sure who from tho. So GPH is being very smart abou this. Seeding free units to key devs is brilliant.

I just didn't know some devs would get units prior to launch, as ED mentioned.

Don't know about Reesy etc., but he should certainly be a prime candidate for a freebie unit. Skeezix, YoyoFr etc. as well if they're interested (we know Skeezix is, don't know about YoyoFr, he can be kinda quiet and then one day - boom! New emu for new system i.e. PSP).

​

yeah, someone score me a unit to hack on..

With the USD being down, and stores gouging me more to sell my stuff, and PDA sales down.. my income dropped like 30% from last year, so I'm much more careful about purchases now

Skeezix is a professional software developer.

Visit his site: CodeJedi

I'm in for a few bucks to get him a GPX2 - anyone else?

That is actually a cool idea, why not start a donation fund for getting the devs a free GPx2.

There is this nice page for this kind of things: http://www.fundable.org/
