    A List Of Actual Planned Projects

    I'm toying with a couple of possible projects, the first is a FICS compatible chess client for the Pandora. Either via porting an existing client or starting from scratch. I've also considered porting the Inform compiler + an interpreter (assuming someone else ports a text editor ;) and wouldn't...

    No More 275mhz Units?

    I've just read a post on another forum where a customer has been considering buying a gp2x and now is thinking of holding off due to the release of 270MHz units to "see how high they go" first. They were under the impression the gp2x was now been made with 270MHz processors and may have a higher...

    Hardware And Software Industries Going To Crash.

    Microsoft and Sony have stated that their console sales are sold as loss leaders. Meaning they sell the console for a loss and try to make a profit via game sales and accessories such as additional controls. This was true of the PS2 and XBox and I would imagine is still true of the 360 and PS3...

    Gmenu2x V0.6 Released

    Excellent work so far Ryo. The GP2X is a lot nicer to navigate and use with this kind of setup :)

    New Ipods

    I've had an iHP140 for about two and a half years now and it's still the best player I've seen. Most of my music I ripped to OGG format and I make use of the FM receiver now and then not to mention optical I/O :) The original firmware wasn't all that good though, since I put rockbox on it...

    Gp32x.com Needs Better Security

    Not directly, but a lot of bots just download the image and place it onto a warez/crack site where people downloading the crack have to first type the text shown in the image in. once they've done that the bot uses that text to register on the site. Email validation is a good start, also not...

    Poll: Mod A D-pad, Use Stock Joystick, Buy New Gp2x If Integrated D-pa

    DPad would be nice. I might mod mine at some stage, but not just yet :) As for a future GP2X, I'd like to see the DPad come as standard but It'd also be neat to have an analogue (and I mean analogue, not the current digital when you push it far enough) stick just above it. Then we have the best...

    Gb/gbc Emu Status?

    Does it matter if I do or don't? If I thought I could do better, I'd be doing my own port. I'm just interested in reading through it, much like I have with squidgesnes and Drmd. Although in this case I would also like to make a small modification to the roms path setup. Plus it never hurts...

    Gb/gbc Emu Status?

    Any chance of a source code dump soonish? I know it probably isn't all that high on your priority list to release source that you havn't had a chance to tidy up, but would certainly appreciate it.

    GP2X Multiplatform Project Setup

    Yes, well its possible to build both with a single build/rebuild but currently the only way I've managed to do so is by having two separate projects in the same solution. One using normal windows build rules, the second using the arm-linux custom build rules. The downside is the need to add...

    GP2X Multiplatform Project Setup

    Currently I have setup a Visual Studio 2005 solution to contain two separate projects. The first named "Win_MyDemo" is setup as a standard win32 project for use with SDL. The second project "GP2X_MyDemo" is setup to use a custom build rules file and includes an extra trigger.link file as...

    Throwing The Towel In

    Finishing projects is a very good habit to get into, although to do so you need to firstly set realistic goals. By finish I mean compleatly finish, polish the game, add menus, highscores tables the works. I've been given lots of advice over the years and the vast majority of it has always been...

    Rant On Ignorant Comment Posters On The Gp2x Archive

    I'd rather see comments pointing the original poster to tutorials or information on how to better his art skills, information which would actually be useful to later visitors who glance at the pic and happen to read the comments. Alternativly people posting links to their "better" versions...

    Gp2x Demo Competition: 750$ prize money

    Germany is GMT+1 but you're also observing daylight savings time (DTS) atm so really you're GMT+2. UK is GMT+0 but likewise observing DST atm (otherwise known as BST) so we're currently GMT+1 Where it gets weird is when different countries finish observing DST at different days in the year...

    I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

    I've only had a GP2X for less than a day so take this advice with a pinch of salt, but I read the rainbow effect can be caused by insufficient power. Try a brand new set of 2600+ batteries or a suitable ac adapter. I've been playing with mine on mains power all day :)
