GP2X Sdl Double Buffering

[timbobsteve]

Hi All,

Just getting the hang of SDL Lib and I was wondering if anyone knows if the Gp2X will support hardware doublebuffering?

It would be nice to use SDL_Flip instead of having to manually swap screen/buffer.

Anyways, thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Of course it will, every SDL does it, even the GP32 one.
Theres definately no hardware reason why it wouldn't be able to.

Even if it doesn't support it, the source is there so someone can recompile it

Um, doublebuffering just means that you compose an image for the screen before you update it. There should be no doubt that you can do that.

Um, that wasn't the question

Missed the word "hardware" :rolleyes:

By hardware, do you mean will there be enough visual memory to store two screens at the one time? That's all hardware double buffering is.
