Gba Emu

Kazaa is pretty crappy unless you use Diet K. I'm finding Overnet the best. My GP32 DivX will be on there shortly ;)


As for GBA Emu, there is a "sprites" mode (don't know which number) that needs to be emulated before commercial games have a hope in hell's chance of running.

Thats the true spirit ;)

Open-source is unstoppable, and Micro$oft knows it ;)
....Oh, well that was kinda OT.

they didnt do anything against VBA....
why should the do something against a emu for a unknown handheld?
which can only play 1/4 of all GBA games, without further modification of the system.
Just dont sell EMUs... and there will be no problem.
They're doing a sony. They don't have a legal leg to stand on. Reverse engineering (so long as you do not use competitors code) is legal. This is like saying we have patented the wordprocessor, and now you can't make one. The way sony got away with it with bleem, was to take them to court in each state, +appeal at each loss (sony lost every case against bleem), until the smaller company can't afford to pay their lawyers anymore.

VBA for example is open source, and worked on by a lot of people, who would they sue? They would not be able to do this under european law, and I can't see them trying it on. (Nintendo lost against Codemasters, who reverse engineered SNES carts under EU law, if you remember).

I agree that they do not seem to both freeware stuff, only commercial. Actually they have probably done tapwave a favour- a lot of sites are printing this, and people who had never even heard about the machine now know it exists, and worries nintendo.

nobody can stop this emulator unless it becomes commercial (and if they did try ot stop it he could just distribute the source on p2p - then it would be unstoppable) , but we still know how hes made it basically (ie loading GBA in bios??)
so there is nothing to worr about guys nintendo wouldn't be able to do anything about it...

Not true my friend.
OT:
p2p is for lamers.
its dangerous, most files are fakes or with viruses or trojans, are incomplete, they miss stuff like nfos or file_id's and the download speed is crappy.
while in irc or newsgroups (let me guess: you never heard of them, right?) the files are superb fast downloaded (with dsl mostly 93 kb/s) and nothing is fake or incomplete.

TOPIC:
yes, right, im sure nintendo wont stop gp advance.... there are many reasons:
1)they think there wont be sound and the games wont be good to play
2) roms >4mb cant be loaded
3)the gp32 is old and isnt selled much anymore
4) the emu wont be selled it will be hard to stop this (?)

and many more...

I don't know why all you guys are getting so worried. This is a US patent and a French program. Last time I checked US law doesn't apply outside the US. The US can't stop people from spreading child porn and warez across the internet if they are in other countries, so why should Nintendo of America be able to stop a program from being developed in France?
 
i hope he gives it to some respectable Developers....
then some more could work on it.
Hope this thing goes on like before :)

Oh goody, you took the oh so original 'all p2p users are lamers' route. "Let me guess, you've never heard of them, right?" Typical condescending talk from someone who has their mind set on only one method.

Let's think about this for a second...

1. IRC is also for lamers. mIRC-using newbies who spam the channel with /ctcp or /msgs that they ctrl+entered by accident, or with colour codes in them. Asking when bots will be advertising or if files are in stock.

2. You want variety? Forget about it. There are a set of major releases that are commonly spread around, but the rest of the files are only available on fserves. Newgroup archives are only held for so long, and it costs money to access so far back into the past.

3. p2p dangerous? Yeah, if you download full albums that are in EXE format maybe. Files from p2p networks are generally just as safe, viruses are about 4 KB and can be spotted a mile away. Even so, you should be virus checking ANYTHING you download (although I personally don't, I have had no bad experiences with p2p)

4. Most files are fakes? Hah! On kazaa perhaps. Try Overnet/eMule and discover the joys of the comment/rating system and hashing files which ensures they are fake.

5. All three of those problems - trojans, fakes and incomplete files - are destroyed with websites like sharedonkey who 'release' files with a stamp of quality. Check the hash and get ONLY the file they put out, and it is guaranteed to be good quality. These sites have as much reputation as major warez release groups.

6. Download speeds range. On Kazaa I could easily max my download with most popular files. eMule is slower, as it bittorrent, but Overnet isn't. The latter benefits from longer uptime so that you can join a bunch of queues, and your speed will simply keep increasing. If you're impatient, P2P is not good. Besides - IRC has queues as well, you know! Not to mention random DCC failures or bot disconnections or NETSPLITS which occur virtually all the time on the major networks.

7. Finally, you missed out IP dangers but put it this way, Overnet is a massive, decentralised file network with less chance of you getting caught unless you download from RIAA IPs or the like (most get blocked quite fast and show up on something like PeerGuardian anyway). With IRC the chances are the University server or rooted box you're downloading from is logging every download, and if the XDCC bots or fserves are found that nice list of IPs might get you in trouble.

Just a little add...:
J'avais bien désactivé le timer tout au début de la fonction et réactivé juste avant de retourner.
En fait j'ai remplacé les fonctions GpGetKeyEx par des fonctions que j'ai réécrit et maintenant ça marche. Je sais pas à cause de quoi c'était.

Ive well desactivated timer at the beginning of the fonction and reactivated this one before returning
In fact I replaced GpGetKeyEx by mine own fonctions I wrote and now its working
I dont know why it crached...


see you :lol:
 
washo, can you ask him if he can also publish the source of his releases?

well, what does who think will add to it next?
what mode do they have to add before some commercial games will be surported?
would mode 7 be an easy one to add?
o well, hope he keeps workin on " IT "

~Octavious
Mode 7 should be one of the easier modes to add since the GBA doesn't have a hardware Mode 7 (ie, it does mode 7 in software)

I just don´t think you can say p2p sucks.
Even shit like Kazaa is good for some isolated uses.

I do know about IRC and newsgroups and though they are most certainly good if you know where to look, that alone does not justify saying "p2p sucks".
