so seriously, how do the umulators run? which are PERFECT, which are playable and which need work? what are the prospects for the future of platforms that are not being emulated properly yet? does the higher powered version make much difference?

also, when playing avi files through the tv out, can you ajust the aspect of the screen to fit your tv? my avi compatible dvd player cuts the subs off a lot of my stuff but xbmc never did because i could ajust the aspect of the screen.

There's a lot of emulator info on the gp2x wiki page. Just google gp2x wiki.

Neo Geo, Genesis and everything weaker/below=PERFECT, SNES pretty good, but everything that requires a chip inside the game to be emulated (mostly the newer games) is a NEVER.

Anything else, OH PERSON THAT DOES NOT SEARCH?

Yeah, the emulation is great. Everything upto and including the 16bit generation is great, as mentioned.

I've been playing the original Dracula X w/ full sound!!! How great is that?

Do any of the big RPG's use a chip inside? Chrono Trigger, earthbound, bahamut Lagoon and Secret of Mana are the big ones. If the SNES emulation is imperfect, would it be ok for RPG's? I guess they're less demanding to the hardware usually?

Only Mario RPG and Star Ocean have special chips, and Tales of Phantasia may have some issues due to ROM size.

Every other RPG will run brilliantly. Bahamut Lagoon and Front Mission have some transparency issues though, so will either be slow (with nkSNES) or you will have to use transhacks to get around the problem. This may be fixed in the future with SquidgeSNES (via notaz or Squidge himself) though.

[oilswell]

So Star Ocean and Mario RPG wont work at all?

With the transparence issues will that cause trouble with text boxes?

So Chrono Trigger would work? That and Bahamut Lagoon are the big ones

[piemaster]

Chrono trigger does work but at some point you do need transparences to work i myself have two SNES emulators on my GP2X i use snesgp2x which is slow but can handle tranparences and squidgesnes which is much faster but can't handle tranparences you just have to switch when you need them.

[BradN]

Star Ocean might work, I remember originally you needed a separate graphics pack (the chip handled some sort of graphics decompression), I'm just not sure if the emulator is still set up to look for it or not. It's worth a try though.

OR PRESS BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS AND DISABLE LAYERS.

We have lots of people that don't search it seems...

[oilswell]

So basically theres hope for me playing Chrono on a handheld? Sounds like it should work with the layers thing, or swapping emulators (are save states transferable?).

What about Bahamut Lagoon? Thats a later game isnt it?

Which one does that work with cos i didn't see it in the read me file

Undocumented feature since .32

(are save states transferable?). What about Bahamut Lagoon?

Also yes to both

[piemaster]

Thanks i'll give it a go later it does get annoying going between the two.
