    GP2X What Language Do You Think I Should Learn?

    I would highly recommend not going near the GP2X until you have some experience under your belt. Developing for the GP2X is a lot slower since you don't have a debugger, and can't quickly hit a key to test the program (ie. you have to put the executable on an SD card, put the SD card in the...

    GP2X Vertical Line Problem

    I've found the problem, better late than never. Started playing about with it yesterday and found the solution - so here it is for anyone whose also puzzled: The bad line is here: PaletteEntry(*(unsigned int*)ptr, index, error); The pointer isn't increasing by 32bits each time, but instead...

    Current Gp2x Issues Wiki

    The conclusion on the WIKI for the USB issues on the GP2X is a little 'dramatic' isn't it? :blink: Windows' built in USB mass storage driver works with literally hundreds of USB storage devices, I don't really see it being the cause of these USB issues.

    GP2X Zip Or Rar Libraries For Arm?

    Have you checked out zziplib? You might be able to compile it for ARM :)

    GP2X Makefile Using Minimal.c

    Looks like you're not including SDLmain and SDL libraries.

    GP2X Vertical Line Problem

    When outputting to a file, the file is accurate so the conversion appears to be working fine: bool CImporter::Palettize24bit(ImageData_t &iData) { unsigned int end = iData.width * iData.height; unsigned int i, index, error; unsigned char *ptr = iData.data; unsigned char* data = new...

    GP2X Vertical Line Problem

    I'm using Ryleh's Minimal Library v0.A, and after a day's worth of debugging think I have found a problem either with the library, or something silly I keep overlooking. I'm loading a JPG, then converting it to 8bit palettized. I've created a simple greyscale palette, so the image should look...

    GP2X How Can I Test My Application On Pc?

    If you use SDL and avoid any use of assembly/GP2X-specific code (or provide an alternate x86 path) you can change the target from ARM to x86 and it should work exactly the same on your local PC as the GP2X itself.

    Now I've Got It....

    I find playing movies on the GP2X really cool :) Unlike the PSP, or even PDAs, the player is really quite generous when it comes to DivX/MP3 so I can play most of my content without re-encoding :D Very cool imo. But ye, sonic rocks :) I still don't paticularly like the joystick though :( If it...

    GP2X Some Basic References & Tutorials

    I've made a quick reference to Ryleh's minimal library because I find it much easier to work if I have a window open with a reference to the APIs I'm using. I'm not sure if this'll help anyone else since its a really quick & dirty version but you can find it here...

    I'm Hungry For Some.........

    Indeed I am, in terms of CPU-grunt. The CPU on the PS3 is more powerful theoretically - but when you actually take note that the SPEs (the many 'cells') have no cache or direct memory access - you realise 8 or so processors are trying to read in data through a single memory controller - and...

    GP2X How To Use Visual C++ 2005 Express

    "f:\...\visual studio 2005\projects\testgp2x\debug\testgp2x.gpe" That looks like your problem imo, you can't go a directory higher than the root so its getting confused. I assume your project file is in: "f:\visual studio 2005\projects\testgp2x? Have you tried putting the testgp2x folder in...

    I'm Hungry For Some.........

    Heh, they'll be disappointed with the PS3 then. Although no doubt they'll exclaim that the Cell has a higher peak theoretical performance than the 3 general purpose cores in the XBox 360. Ye, those SPEs without cache or direct memory access are really useful... GPU is more powerful tho, I'll...
