    Gp2x Screen Problem Fixed Yet?

    I think I might have both of those issues. There is definitely an interlacing problem when games or movies pan the screen. That's actually the most annoying issue. If I use video filtering in the Atari Lynx emu the screen flickers like crazy, I don't know if it's a problem with the emu or the...

    Gp2x Screen Problem Fixed Yet?

    That's interesting... I got mine in November of 2005, I think. EvilDragon is way out in Germany... is there any info on how I can solder a new transistor myself? It's just gonna cost me too much to do that even if he is willing.

    Gp2x Screen Problem Fixed Yet?

    Hi all, I've been out of the GP2X loop for about a year now. I just fired my baby back up the other day and loaded some of the new emu's and I have to say i'm impressed how well things have progressed. I upgraded to the 2.1.1 firmware and am very disappointed to see that the screen problems...

    Proper Way To Encode Movies?

    Poke, That's essentially the same process I'm currently doing. I'll try with the lower quality settings that you're using and see if it makes a difference. Thanks! -BT

    Firmware 2.0.0 Next Week!

    What about the screen flicker problem? That's numero uno on my list of things that depirately need fixing. Running the cpu utility everytime I start the player to fix that is such a pain.

    Proper Way To Encode Movies?

    Here's how I'm encoding my DVDs for the GP2x... Program: AutoGKnot width: 320 (variable height) Always set file size to 450mb (for a 2-3 hour movie) Video Codec: Xvid (2 pass) Audio Codec: MP3 128vbr These movies play perfectly smooth on my Treo650. On my gp2x they feel like they're playing...

    Any Good Rpg Playable On The Gp2x

    I have to second ultima7 via exult. That game was amazing for it's time and still holds its own today. Runs phenominally well on the gp2x. In addition to Ultima7 you can also play serpent Isle and forge of virtue which results in a monster RPG tour-de-force. I just wish there was a good way...

    GP2X Any Developers Interested In A Game Project?

    I thouht I'd just post an update here. I've had to pause my end of the project until early may (haven't stoppped completely, just slow considerably). I'm launching a huge webproject at work on may 1st and am in crunch time to meet that deadline. Once that project goal is met I'll have a...

    I Need Ya Help

    WarmFluffyUK, Did you design the site from scratch or use something like postnuke? I'm curious because I designed I site similar to this from scratch. I need to keep up on the content management systems out there. It looks really nice. Only problem I had is the tables render really slow.

    About The Gp2x

    Not sure what your talking about, all the sonics use the entire screen for me. In fact, genesis emulation is amazing. Some roms don't take advantage of the full screen, like street fighter 2 on the genesis but that may simply be to improve performance (on the original genesis). I'm sure...

    GP2X Any Developers Interested In A Game Project?

    I agree that we shouldn't bite off more than we can chew (I've definately been guilty of that in the past...). So, I think the best way is to do things in phases- Start simple and build upon a solid foundation. I just want to see how things progress before imposing any restrictions with the...

    GP2X Any Developers Interested In A Game Project?

    Ah, I think i'll follow your example for the time being, if you don't mind. It sounds perfect for what I would like to accomplish. Is your game for the GP2X? Any way I can check it out?

    GP2X Any Developers Interested In A Game Project?

    Thank you very much for the input. One thing I should have made more clear is that I pulled those specs directly from the link I posted, so the "approximately 2 Megs for one level!" was not my language. It was the author commenting in relation to the GBA. Honestly, in the beginning I figured...

    GP2X Any Developers Interested In A Game Project?

    Here's some further research (I hope this link works): http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:jxWTtT...=3&client=opera It may be a good idea to follow GBA specs for this project as it will be a great indicator of performance. Some interesting Specs: * Tiles on the GBA: 8 pixels by 8 pixels *...
