Hi,

I've not started coding properly on the GP32 yet, but I indend to soon once some other projects are out of the way.

I have a question, if it's possible to communicate between the GP32 and a PC program via the USB port? I don't just mean file copying, I mean for instance, a Four Swords (gamecube) type affair, where a player can control from the GP32 and also have their own screen for certain things, but with main action appearing on the PC.

Thankyou~
 
mmmh, if you are using linux, you can emulate a tty over usb, and so using minicom as a terminal.
you should take a look at linux kernel, there is some samples of this somewhere in the source tree

Vimacs: tough indeed, Linux you can get to act as a device.. getting a windows machine to act as a USB device sounds trickier indeed.

But the USB comm stuff in the GP32 BIOS is pretty simple to use, if one doesn't want to use the GP SDK one can just snag some of the structs from the headers and use the SWIs directly to setup the GP32 as a USB device.
