    Usb Sound Input?

    Success! I have serial access to my gp2x and I have compiled the usb audio driver from the kernel source. I plugged the mic into the dev board and loaded the usb audio driver. So it seems possible to get audio capture on the gp2x. Everything at the system level is available, we just need the...

    Usb Sound Input?

    I received the microphone and serial cable today. After plugging the mic into my linux laptop I can see that it is just a standard usb audio device (the snd-usb-audio module was loaded). I've set up my dev board and connected it to my laptop through the serial cable but so far nothing has come...

    Usb Sound Input?

    Thanks for that. I just got one for $45 (aussie dollars). It should be here in a few days. I should be getting another AC adaptor around then as well. I haven't done any kernel work on the GP2X before but I have done a little on the desktop. Hopefully I will have something interesting to post...

    Usb Sound Input?

    Yes, that would work. It just wouldn't be very portable. All you would need is the usb sound module and some software to do the recording. I have just received a dev board but I don't have any usb audio devices. If anyone can recommend a cheap device that works on linux desktops then I can look...

    Usb Sound Input?

    A lot of these types of devices are supported by linux using a generic usb audio module. I don't know if usb audio has been compiled into the gp2x kernel. Probably not I'd say. It wouldn't be too hard to compile a new one though. The major problem is that these devices are usually powered by...

    Java Jre

    You would probably have an easier time packaging Mono for the GP2X. It already has JIT for ARM linux. IKVM will let you run Java on Mono. Personally I'm considering using Lua for the high-level stuff.

    GP2X Is Python A Good Language To Learn For Gp2x Dev?

    Lua would also be a good choice. It is a simpler language than Python and designed to be embedded into C/C++ games.

    GP2X What Language Do You Think I Should Learn?

    Here you go. Get cracking, I expect a Dreamcast emulator by next week! Seriously though, if you study every night and read the book and the SDL documentation you may be able to create Pong in a month or two. Game programming is one of the hardest fields (emulators are even harder) and it can...

    GP2X 2xforge?

    There's two advantages you can get over sourceforge: Allowing closed-source developers to have a website, mailing lists and file repository. So long as it is for the gp2x/gp32 and they can't remove the binary from the site (so it will always be available). Subversion!

    Nois2sa

    Hmmm... turning the sound off seems to remove the pauses. Also with the sound on there can be occasional channel switches (firing sound moving from left to right). There is something going on with SDL_mixer that is causing these latency issues. If the SDL_mixer stuff can be improved or a...

    GP2X A Unified File Manager For The Gp2x

    Hello SirDzstic. It looks like a good start. I have a few suggestions: L button goes back to the parent directory. That's good, but to be more consistent have R button go into the selected file/directory. Then we have a nice left/right action for file browsing. The stick click should do that...

    GP2X Display Text

    SDL_gfx also has a simple font and some basic routines if you just need something done quick. It cross-compiles to ARM just fine (just add --disable-mmx when running configure).

    What Is Everybody Here Working On?

    I'm working on a library to make it easier for programmers to use different configurations for the GP2X stick. With a simple call you should be able to get 2, 4, 8 and 16-way sticks. You also get various options for tweaking the stick configuration. I may also be doing joystick emulation if it...

    GP2X Porting Stella: Need Zlib Maybe Opengl?

    It's pretty hard to say without seeing the source. But the current SDL will segfault if you try to open at 640x480: SDL Issues at wiki.gp2x.org.

    Bunny Traps V1.0

    I would like to play it but I don't seem to be able to unrar it on linux :( Can someone please upload a zip or tarball?

    Gp2x's Joystick

    I've been playing around in test mode and I think that the joystick is good in it's own way. After playing with it for a few days I've gotten used to it. Most of the software we have right now are simple ports that haven't taken the new stick into account. We just need to wait a bit for the devs...

    GP2X Blender 3d Game Engine?

    Perhaps it will be best to wait and see if someone will implement the OpenGL API on the GP2X. Then we will see the 3D performance we can get out of it. Only then will you be able to port the Blender engine as it needs to run on top of the OpenGL implementation. I'm guessing performance won't be...

    The Ur-quan Masters

    I'll second that. It's probably the biggest and best game that GP2X could have (roms don't count). Being 320x240 and designed to work on a controller helps too. A fully working port of Ur-Quan would be most excellent.

    GP2X Labview On The Gp2x

    I think Linux can't deal with memory being cut up into chunks like that, so we have to use the biggest chunk (the first 32mb). But I'm not sure on that.

    Any Update On 2nd Cpu?

    The main hardware for the GP2X is the MP2520F. Gamepark Holdings don't have the resources to custom build their own hardware, so they decided to go with this. It's a System on a Chip, which means everything: the cpus, video, graphics, usb, sd, sound, etc is all on this single chip. You can't...
