Super Mario Kart

[KoukiFC3S]

I just found out about the GP2X tonight and I'm pretty excited about it.

How does this incredible handheld play Super Mario Kart? (SNES)

It has the same button layout as the SNES so if it plays it good, I'm sold!

thanks!

SMK uses the Super FX chip, which I guess is why it doesn't seem to work yet. The game loads OK, but then doesn't work once you actually start a race.

Super Mario Kart doesn't use the Super FX chip, does it? Says nothing about it on the cartridge...

 

[KoukiFC3S]

Hmm Im pretty sure that is uses mode 7 and not the FX chip.
Does the GP2X have enough horsepower to run it full speed in the future?

Yes its a mode 7 game. And yes the gp2x does have the power to do this. But a emulator needs to be complied to run mode 7. We just have to wait.

how well does the gp32 run it?

I think it does it's just super slow even at 166mhz but with GP2X 200mhz is standard so it should work fine.

Oops, I was thinking of the DSP-1 chip but ended up saying Super FX.

I just tried it: without sound @ 192mhz an FS 2 it is quite playable, but with sound its laggy as hell

You just have to get the right rom, I had that problem too, but I found another rom that worked. But it DOES run slow as hell, even in the no-sound core.

mode 7 is emulated fine. Pilot Wings worked when I tried it (about 70% speed @ 200mhz)
