How are people viewing these demos without running them on a GP2X? Sorry, newb coding question.

If I want to code for the system, is there a GP2X emulator or something that I can run in a windows environment, to test the programs on?

Many coders have a usb-network (samba) set up, allowing them to run their programs straight from the computer to the GP2x.

Yono: I dont think he/she has a GP2X unit.

xtravbx: You can code something in SDL (2D) and the supported libraries such as SDL_mixer for the PC and the port to GP2X should be relatively simple if you take into account the hardware limitations of the platform. Unfortunately there is no GP2X emulator that is usable at present.

In a truly classy and generous gesture, Ukko and the other members of Live! have instructed me to donate their prize money from Babylon Bastard to the Gp2x Community Game Contest, which I will be doing later today. In fact, I'm so impressed that I will bump the prize up from 100 dollars to 100 euros so it looks nice on the donations page.

Thanks guys!

My mistake, I thought I remembered reading somewhere about xtravbx buying one off ebay. In that case, yaustar's suggestion would be the best way to go.

I finally got a chance to sit down and use all the demos. I say they are all quite excellent. Thanks to team Live! for donating their winnings to the gp2x community game contest. Thanks for Dzz for making this great contest. I hope there will be another one next year or so when the hardware is more expolited and people have time to get their hands deep down into the system and exploit its power.
