    GP2X Acid-2x New Gp2x Front-end

    Probably better to use waitpid than just wait.. if you use plain wait then check the return to make sure that the process that just signalled is the same one that you executed, otherwise your execute routine can potentially finish early.

    Sony Losing Almost $250 Per Console

    No it isn't. It's called a Loss Leader and is not only legal it's very common. Predatory pricing - Selling at an artificially low price with the intent of driving a competitor out of the market is illegal. Maybe you were thinking of that? Sony aren't even close to being accused of that...

    Gp2x Package Manager

    If I didn't care I wouldn't post! :) Like I said I was initially in favour. It's just the details put me off. There's nothing special about pretty much any package format I've ever used (except perhaps .msi, but then microsoft often tend to over-engineer stuff). That's not the point. gp2x...

    Gp2x Package Manager

    I never said you were, but the same comments apply to RPM, etc. Package managers do two things - interdependency and handling updates. Only the second is required for the gp2x and you don't need new (or old) a package format for that. Create zip files and rename them to .gp2 if you like, but...

    What Are You Getting For Christmas?

    .. my post duplicated itself :blink: No it didn't.. it just unduplicated and kept the modified one :blink: :blink: What I *was* going to say was I'm looking at an HDDVD drive for the 360, but waiting to see if they region code it.. if it's region coded they can forget it.

    Passing Linked Lists Into Functions

    That routine does nothing except waste some memory. Current is a temporary local variable. I presume you want current to be returned from the routine... in which case you need to define current as void addshot(node*& current,int x , int y) and do the same as before. btw. since you're...

    Firmware V2.1.1

    I found it extremely unstable - it would greenscreen if an application locked up and you had to use the power switch to reboot, forcing you to keep reflashing to resurrect your dead gp2x. Went back to 2.0.0 as it's 100% stable.

    Gp2x Package Manager

    You don't need it though. the apt/dpkg combination is absolutely unbeatable, for full blown linux but complete overkill for a gp2x. gp2x packages simply don't have dependencies, so you don't need dependency resolution. A .zip would work just as well - and in fact *is* working just as well...

    Gp2x Package Manager

    Hmm.. isn't dpkg a bit unwieldy for a little system like the gp32? ipkg is much simpler and has fewer dependencies (and should compile out of the box since it runs on just about anything). You've got the whole startup script mess to deal with.. dpkg is hard enough to handle on a debian box..

    Terranigma Still Being A Tool

    The wiki mentions a lot of changes between 0.38 and 0.391 and probably one of those broke it... I'm sure squidge is working on it..

    Terranigma Still Being A Tool

    terranigma runs a treat w/sound on snesgp2x.. you do need to overclock slightly (235 is enough.. 250 is perfect). It's my wife's favourite game at the moment :)

    My Gp2x Stoped Booting!

    If you're stuck on the green screen the only way back I found was to reflash back to 2.0.0 (which contains all the files needed.. 2.1.1 (and I think 2.1.0) is just a patch). 2.1.1 seemed to do this reliably to me... all it took was an app crashing (eg. mame 3.3 when you exit) and that would be...

    Any Way To Circumvent Closed Ports?

    It's UDP, which requires ports open both ways or a smart firewall (most firewalls are smart enough, but not all). Your uni connection may not even be letting the connection out let along handling the replies.. it's not uncommon for such networks to allow port HTTP out and very little else. You...

    GP2X Can Anyone (with Gph's Toolchain 2.95 For Linux) Compile This?

    That's valid... 'a' is an expansion of the second argument to the macro. The problem is MMU_WRITE I think. CMDW(MINIMAL_MMU_W7104, MMU_WRITE("c7,c10,4",arg)); expands to: CMDW(0x116, { arg = arg; asm volatile( \ "stmdb sp!, {r0}\n\t" \ "mov r0, %0\n\t" \ "mcr p15, 0, r0, "...

    Uae4all_gp2x 0.6.2

    Is there a changelog for it? Waiting for support for lots of games... (edit) nvm.. Thought you were talking about a new version :(
