I'd just like to throw my voice into the crowd of thank yous for this one... I've just finished playing a bit of W&W for the first time since I put a screwdriver through my GP2x's screen. I never thought I'd see it on Pandora! So THANK YOU NOTAZ!

Also, I'll echo the problems with GPsp: either crashes to GP2x menu (Prince of Persia, Yoshi's Island) or black screens (Wario 4) this is using the option "Unscaled 3:2" with filtering turned off, sound set not to play, frameskip disabled, and CPU speed inside GPsp set to 333MHz. Crashes may be happening as a result of selector too - the pre-GPsp menu for adjusting LCD and CPU settings just acts as though down is pressed continually on my Pandora (probably broken left nub has something to do with it)...

Finally, I'd like to echo DaveC's request for an unfiltered version. W&W looks MUCH fuzzier than it need do, given how nice it looked on the 2x screen. It may be low down the list of things to do, but it'll make me happy when it turns up

I can't speak for our man Exo, but I imagie we'll have Temper native one of these days; further, gpsp native will be along one of these days too.

How well does mame4all run in ginge? Its sick by the way, but a great stopgap until we get things tweaked. (native mame is a full mame build, so superior in a lot of ways, but we need to get a frontend on that

I haven't run a lot yet, what I have ran well (Gauntlet, Crazy Kong (Orca)),Front Line, sound is off, works sometimes, sometimes nastily. Can you elaborate on native mame? How does that differ from .106 or the MAME4All set?

Sounds yummy.

Peace & Pandora,

Edit: stoned, added what ran well.

See I am not the ONLY one who dislikes the blur filter.

Temper DOES work, you need to use the Wiz version

Is FinalBurn also working?

Just a note: When playing Wiz games with Ginge, it seems like SELECT is mapped as START on the Wiz. And START is not mapped as START, however I haven't tested it enough to tell if it is mapped as SELECT yet.

Also, would it be possible to map extra keys on the Pandora to button combinations? For example, the button combinations for L2 and R2 on pcsx4all are the most uncomfortable combinations to pull off with the Pandora, with customizable buttons, I could set 1 and Del to "press" those combinations when I press them.

You are not using the most recent version of gpSP. The most recent version does not display the CPUFreq menu before starting the application. Download the most recent version and you should be fine.

I actually kind of agree on this.

Is there a way to remap buttons either globally or on an app by app basis? The attack and jump seem reversed to me in Cave Story.

[naples39]

With Pandora at 500mhz, frameskip 0, I am getting a solid 60 fps on all games I tried with the latest gp2x release of gpsp. I don't think changing the clock speed setting within the emu menu has any effect, but I'm sure notaz could clarify at some point.

[yodaofborg]

Ah, nice. Really cannot wait to get my hands on a Pandora now! Still have my F100, but it's missing its stick cap, and no longer runs from batteries so it really doesn't get used much. Continuing from my saved games is also going to rock. How well does Snake On Dope run and is the *stoned* effect spoiled at all?

We all knew you rocked anyway notaz, but yeah! You rock dude!

[Gruso]

I've been playing Snake on Dope. The stoned effect is not quite as liquid, but it certainly has the same effect on gameplay.

I'd love to play some Sleuth Slots too, but it's not making it past the splash screen at this stage (odd, because all the other Ruckage games seem fine).

[SteveM]

further, gpsp native will be along one of these days too.

Yeah, about that... is there any way to see what GINGE is doing to the original code when it runs? Seems to me gpSP is to all intents and purposes running on the Pandora's CPU, so maybe the solution to that niggling cache problem we were having is in there somewhere.

Yeah it seems I mixed them.

Not at the moment.

Yeah clock related registers are ignored.

If somebody could list non-working stuff with links like here it would be enormous help for me to improve compatibility.

It is doing nothing cache related, I have no idea what's your problem with gpSP.

No problem, I'll start making some additions.

That's a great release for all the Pandora owners, great work you guys!

But what about the license status, is Ginge opensource? Can I download the code somewhere?
I remember I was able to partially run some GP2X titles on Jornada 720 and Openmoko Freerunner devices, maybe with the help of Ginge I could fully run all the GP2X titles on that platforms?

no.
