    Vic-20 Emulator

    My first ever computer was a VIC20; it was bought for the family business to do vat returns after my dad watched a couple of t.v. adverts for it! If anyone wanted to remake the VIC20, I've a bit of string and some fluff here I could contribute - a bit of sellotape and an upside down eggbox and I...

    Compiler Frustration

    Perhaps your variable bmp is not declared properly? You could do: SDL_Surface *bitmap;        /*declare the variable bmp */ bmp = SDL_LoadBMP("test.bmp"); It's personal preference of course, but I declare all my variables at the beginning of function rather than create them "as required"...

    GP2X I'm Very Stupid, Please Set Me Straight

    Sorry for the double post - I forget where I got my DevC++ setup instructions, but here's a link: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/SetDevCPPArm.pdf Also, I seem to remember having to download mingw32 separately and copying it into a folder inside the "devcpp" folder. More links...

    GP2X I'm Very Stupid, Please Set Me Straight

    Me too! I found it useful to compile my C into an executable to test the game logic and to finally see my sprites moving around. There is a way (I'm told) that you can tell the IDE to use a different linker to compile into a .gpe file. I never actually got it doing this, but I write and test my...

    Spectrum Emulator

    Bad keyboard?? The old rubber-keyed oversized calculator keyboard was brilliant (provided your Symbol Shift key didn't pack up, like around 50% of them did). It was certainly much better that the nasty 48k+ version with its hard moulded, slightly wobbly keys! (unless you're talking about the...

    GP2X I'm Very Stupid, Please Set Me Straight

    I understand your frustration and struggled to get up and running, but with some help (on a similar forum) http://www.derekscholte.nl/GP2XForum/viewtopic.php?t=142 I managed to get up and running. I installed devkitGP2X after following the wiki instructions and after some messing about with...

    GP2X Visual Basic

    I too started out with VB and ASP. It's very tricky to get your head around C-derived languages once you've been spoiled. However, VB is excellent for learning about the three main tasks required to write a program: sequence selection iteration Due to work requirements, I learned Javascript...

    GP2X Is Divx Playback In Code Possible?

    I'm new to SDL programming and GP2X though I did quite a bit of low level C coding for the GBA. I love the idea of using "ready-to-roll" libraries, such as SDL, to take out the pain of blitting and playing sounds. I'd like to develop my idea for an isometric adventure further, and include...

    GP2X Should Developers Follow Common Design Guidelines

    Whatever the finer details are (which button combinations are used to perform which actions) I think that conforming to some form of consistent approach will be a good thing. In reply to "....I'm wondering if developers and users are interested in this [sic] kind of recommendations. Do you...
