I love this game, I just wish the color scheme of the original was a little more vibrant, but what are you going to to with penguins and ice

This is a great game

Now I have an excuse to go through it a second time!

The last few levels change the graphics quite a bit to a much darker castle feel.

This is a great game! Will my saves be kept if I update?

Thank you..

the most important thing that I want to fix for this port is the lag that sometime happens during game play,
as it it quite annoying if that happens during a jump and you die because of it.
I still don't know what the cause is and I wasn't able to track it down - when playing the game without music and sound this lag still happens sometimes.
This isn't happening on when compiled and played on my PC
Compiling this game for profiling it is only working for the PC,
when I cross compile it with -pg for profiling it won't run on the GP2X (segfaults or I get a message "Profiling timer expired" when exiting supertux).

Any ideas how I can track this lag issue down ?

I think it's because of task priority settings.
It might work if you set the task priority of SuperTux to high on startup.

Has anyone been playing SuperTux on a TV - on my TV I seem to get the screen doubled, but I've not seen anyone else mention this problem?

Works without any problem here.
Are you running from gmenu2x? Try running it from original firmware.

Fantastic game! Well done and thanks 8)

Running on original firmware on a practically vanilla mk2 gp2x - I think it's firmware 2.0.0 - running on a 28" widescreen TV. I've been running games from DrMDx and they all run fine.

I too get the dual screen issue via TV out on my bog standard Issue 2.
28 inch wide screen CRT, no issues with anything else though, assuming it works on TV out in the first place ;-)
Great game though.
Happy Christmas
