Opensource-handheld With Wireless?

[klakklak]

hi folks,

i'm new here and i have a little question:

i am looking for a handheld which has good performance and wireless connection. I know the gamepark still doesnt provide wireless connections, is that right? or has anyone found out a way to add this feature?

i am asking because i (we) are looking for a platform to publish our own game. the gamepark would be amazing if there would be a chance to add wifi. well its not about internet connection, more like the Nintendo DS way of communicating with each other.

do you know know any other handheld which has all of this?:

- "open" system (or hacked)

- wireless connection

- usb or other input possibilities (the more the better )


any suggestions are welcome, thanks for posting,

well, there is the gp32 rf link..... and soon to be a bluetooth adaptor.

You can do wireless multiplayer through using the Rf-link...
And gp32 is an open system....


Edit:I'm a fool

 

[klakklak]

oh, nice i didn't know that.

it has a range of 10 meters, correct?

by the way, is there any possibility of a "port replicator", duplicating the EXT port of gp32? just came into my mind... i mean, transfer rate would be damn slow i guess.

thx

yes

I've seen a bluetooth device for the GP on a website that was recently mentioned because of the GPS for the GP32, just look for it on the news! I dunno if it's out for sale yet or anything, but in any case it should be soon, I guess
So the GP32 keeps on the edge of technology, don't go looking for another one... Yet ;P

No to be mean or any thing but there are only a few people that have a 2nd gp32/know someone with a gp32 so it be kinda pointless to make a mulitplayer game.

Yeah, the idea surely is nice, but I think nearly no one would be able to use it... like bourbon said.

 

[woogal]

And gp32 is opensource....

No it isn't.

 

[onionfrog]

you knew what I ment... <_<

I hesitate to bring it up, but doesn't the gizmondo (I feel stupid just typing that f**king name...) have wifi?

 

[Vimacs]

on gp32 you have usb (host and client mode), ext(2*uart,i2c,analog input,jtag) for wireless you can use the official rf link (slow), or the homemade and faster bluetooth adapter fom Toyz 4 Boyz.
of course you could also write a drive for usb storage/wlan, in gp32linux you can allready conenct storage,(w)lan adapters and keayboard/mouse to usb.

Gizmondo is not open... and its ugly with a tiny screen...

 

[rabbits with hats]

Get a Gp32 and you will have all us nice people to talk to :mellow:

gp32_console

Love it or die in a pit of poo in hell!

I am nice Get a gp32 Dr.MD, Smash gp, Gp Doom.

Have you looked at a pocket pc? 600Mhz processor, wifi, bluetooth, usb, and since it's windows, you can run any ppc progs you want on it

btw, wich emu does support multiplayer via rf-link?

 

[Bingo Jesus]

I know I'll probably get shot down for saying this, but the Zodiac (and other Palm devices) is possibly viable as it offers both bluetooth and wifi (with an add-on). Unfortunatly it dosen't have a BUS (USB, but that's what my friend calls it) port, and it's connector isn't a PUC (Palm Universal Connector) so it may not be the device for you. However the market would be fairly large, as you could make the game compatible with all palm devices.

 

[c0ncept]

I didn't think the gizmondo was open, but I imagine that it wont be to long. After all small screen or no its specs are quite nice.

 

[Zorn]

yepp, maybe with a gizmondo
a N64 or PSX emu is possible ?? :huh: B)
