Update:
The promised screenshot is below.
Some interesting notes:
I compiled the test programs that come with libSDL and put one on my Wiz, and it ran fine (except that the mouse cursor coordinates seemed to be rotated 90 degrees from where I was touching the screen with the stylus).
I just...
I'll try that when I get a chance. Maybe I'll try to take a picture of the garbled screen using my phone.
OhBoy doesn't set a weird video mode:
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(320, 240, 16, SDL_SWSURFACE);
It did have some special video setup code for Wiz, but I tried bypassing it and saw no change...
Thanks, I'll try that.
FYI, I was referring to hmn's GCC 4.7.3 toolchain in regards to the test program.
I changed OhBoy to statically link as much as possible, and now it starts up but has a garbled screen. This could be because I'm trying to compile hi-ban's fork, and that Wiz support may...
Well the official GP2X Wiz toolchain works for me, but it's pretty old. Is this open2x toolchain any newer?
BTW, I tried installing hmn's GCC 4.7.3 toolchain from the other thread, then built Ikari's SDL and its dependencies. The OhBoy binary built from that doesn't run on my Wiz either (just a...
Necroing my own thread. Can someone point me to a working openwiz toolchain? This one just doesn't seem to work: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,8
It compiles and links, but the binaries don't run on my Wiz, even if I copy all dependency libraries over and set...
Thanks! The Wiz has been lacking a good native SMS/GG emulator. Please don't abandon support of the Wiz version in favor of a Pandora version.
Also, it would be massively appreciated if you could upload it to OpenHandhelds.org's Wiz emulators downloads section, as that's the most well-known Wiz...
Is that because it was treating it as a pseudo-analog joystick and calibrating on the fly? I recognized that behavior and realized that I needed to move the pad in a circle to establish its bounds.

Is this something that could/would help with emulator/homebrew performance on ARM handhelds?
I should also mention that it infects the RSS feed, which I use to monitor the site news via Google Reader. Unfortunately it's been nothing but spam lately.
Apparently the Wiz has some hardware-accelerated 3D capability that the Caanoo doesn't, but nothing really takes advantage of it anyways. Wiz is mediocre at SNES emulation for some reason, but does GB/NES/Genesis flawlessly.
I chose Wiz over Caanoo myself because it's pretty much equally...
Someone posted a link to a site announcing a $50 Black Friday sale on the Wiz. You could pick up one of those and use your current Wiz for spare parts.
Is the touchscreen feature of the Wiz part of the screen itself, or is it a separate layer of film that goes over the top of it?
I'm happy with my Wiz' battery life, but I'd like a second USB cable so that I can have one by my computer downstairs and one for my bed upstairs like I do with my...
