I found some info on the DS:

3-D Video caps:
# Polygons: 120k/s (shading?) (*4)
# Fillrate: 30M/s (pixels)
# Vertices: 4M

Sound
# 16 channels (8 channels PSG) (*5)
# Microphone input

Multiplayer
# Wireless multiplayer up to 16 opponents.
# Bluetooth (*6) or IEEE 802.11 (W-LAN) (*6)


Media
# Rewriteable media up to 1Gbyts of data.

Comments
*1) ARM9 @ 67Mhz - same as the default setting on a GP32. However, gaming will be superior compared to the GP32 as the latter has no forms of hardware acceleration.
(/quote) I got this info from play-asia.

The GBA's screen resolution is 240x160 and the DS is 256x192 so it is slightly better.

the DS actually sounds pretty poor. The PSP will wipe the floor with it.

Don't worry, I have good eMail contact with yoyo, and I can just repeat HE DID NOT abandon the GP!

A lot of guys mentioned they will donate money when he releases the new OpenSNES9x 0.5 in their comments about my news post (and he DOES know about it!)

He'll send me a beta as soon as he's got all the debug stuff out (means I'll record some new movies) and after everything is settled, he'll release the new version.

Would be stupid not to release it, as the asm core has already been implemented (means: most of the work for the new version has been done), he just riddles about how to get all the new stuff into the 8MB of the GP32...

Just give him some time, he doesn't have much spare time atm, and porting emus for the zodiac where the arm-compatible source code already exists is just a few hours of work (and can be done eventually in some free time).
They're far from being optimized, and OPTIMIZING is the hard work.
Fighting against the little ram and optimizing OpenSNES9x for the GP32 takes MUCH MORE time 'cause it is harder...

You can make a point without foul language, you know. Somebody should hit you with a ban-stick.

how about you shut up?

Sorry, I never take advice from Gary Coleman ever since Diff'rent Strokes went off the air. :blink:

Final post from me on this thread opensnes 0.5 will come out soon thats all I'll bother saying
Cheers

Still even if .5 does come out it is only *one* update. Compare that to all of the emus he is doing for the Zodiac.

Oh my God, how UNFAIR of him to be doing this extra upgrade for free when he's focusing on (NOT jumping ship to) the Zodiac now. I don't usually take the clichéd 'he's doing this work for free so shut up' stance but this seems to be the perfect time.

 

[unlucky]

delete the thread..... monkey strike ......... poutasch

 

[yoyofr]

os9xgp is still being worked on and will be available soon...

with a new cool logo from franck

 

[sebastian_insua]

hi yoyo..

(well there goes - straight from the horses mouth) B)

 

[greenmikey]

someone should just lock this thread now that the great yoyo has spoken.

 

[Wolfsclaw]

lol, he already spoke 3 times that he is still coding for the gp <.<
should be posted 6x times on frontpage and a banner on gp32x forum with "yoyo is still coding on the gp32"

 

[Q-Wi-Q]

oh, and permbans for those who ask.

 

[Timpas]

Yoyo earns respect!!
