where is the software being developed the freeware and stuff.
like the emulators are they just all English developers or like its not language based?
what I am asking is, is ever thing on the gp32x download site all American
or is there Korean software on there to? just translated

Or is Asia, middle east, America. all on different developments,

is Korea making software that we don’t have? do they have program's for the gp2x that I don’t know about. better emulators. software. etc.

sorry im lost my self.

More than half of GP2X software is not asian or american but european.

I think Spain's scene is one of the most important nowadays

i don't think koreans have other programs that we do unless we just haven't found out about it, it could very well be that there are korean developpers making things for the gp2x but sooner or later we'd find out about it.

on a side note i'm making a little game myself it's almost finished, and i live in belgium

Yeah that does seem odd considering the machine was developed down their . You think they would at least hold coding compitions or something .

Typical american arrogance.
Just because most gp2x software is in english, you think the majority of it comes from the US.

USA isn´t all that important for the gp2x scene...

Yeah but we got the bombs

yeah, and thats about all you have in your heads, sad, isnt it?

Most of the English software available for download is from the UK or other countries where people have tried to translate it. Only a small percentage of it is from America.

Generally, the western GP2X scene is (in descending order): Spain, UK, Germany, America, Other Europe.

Feel free to criticise, but that's how I see it.

This is clearly the most important cultural achievement of your country, sir.

Well, having the bombs is not so important, let's see Vietnam, Korea...

You are right, we just need the resolve to start using them again...





But seriously, am I the only one who assumed this poster was neither American nor a native English speaker? I mean, his post looks like it was translated to English by a cheap Babblefish knockoff...


Ohhh yeah, I've always wondered, is the Spain scene solely made up of Spanish devs, or is there a fair bit of involvement from people in Latin America?

Yeah, and we've also got a population that cast more votes for American Idol then President - now that's an important cultural achievement. I hope you people around the world appreciate just how important it is that a majority of American’s don’t vote. If it wasn’t for this political apathy our government might actually represent the will of the people!

Seriously my country is on a crash course with either becoming a Theocracy or a Corporate Police State – hell maybe both, at the same time even. The only thing that keeps my hope alive is that maybe enough people will get pissed off that they actually get off their fat lazy made in America asses, and vote to make things better.

Is Spain really above the UK? [Edited: Ok, i just realized that miq01 is from Barcelona, so I think Spain and the UK are just about tied]

Even though I'm an American I'd probably put America below "Other Europe", but still ahead of "...".

I was kind of hoping that there'd be a decent Korean "scene" so us Westerners could have fun puzzing out how to play some nice Korean homebrew. If they aren't even selling the gp2x in Korea though I guess that won't happen!

No, there are not Latin America developers because there is only a few Latin America GP32 or GP2X owners.

I think it's because they are too poor to can afford one of them

Well, there are a lot of Spanish coders: me, Franxis, Rlyeh, miq01, k-teto, D_Skywalk, Hermes, una-i, Chui, Oankali, Misato, Joanvr, efegea, Kounch, Jhonnystorm, l_draven...

I think more than a half of the contests in GBAX2006 were Spanish, weren't they?

Regards

Oh certainly. I was not criticizing Spain or the Spanish scene and I hope you didn't take it that way, you folks are amazing. I'm just not sure that you are more amazing than the UK

Hi!

First, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm neostalker and like Puck2099 I'm a usual member of GP32Spain forums. I haven't posted here before (but I registered myself some time ago, I can't remmeber why xD).

So, nice to meet you guys

I've read the whole thread and I'd like to say one thing:

Spanish GP32/GP2X scene is probably the most active scene that you can find. I'm talking about lots of games, ports, emulators and more. I'd like to write down some of our "national" productions:

- Lots of Fenix-based games. (by Johnnystorm, Wave, TRaFuGa, Chemaris, Miq01, Chipan and more that I can't remember right now)
- Mame Emulator for GP32/GP2X by Franxis
- Fenix port for GP32/GP2X by Chui/Puck2099
- The "F" emulators series by Rlyeh and his GP2X Minimal Library SDK
- GNUBoy emulator for GP2X by K-teto
- Heretic and Hexen ports for GP32 by A600
- And more...

I don't want to understimate other scenes but you can't refuse that we have a really big scene working in GP32/GP2X projects (I'm now working on some games with Puck and ^MiSaTo^, one of them Chocobo Crazy Championship, we uploaded a video in YouTube some time ago)

Just out of interest, why is there such a big scene over there? Was it due to the official GP32 release?

I don't really know. I think that th possibility of porting emulators and play 8bit and 16bit games on the console was the most important reason. And the compatibility with fenix and other languages was another one. People saw a different way to enjoy a portable console and started to ask for it.

We need a poll ! List each country and every dev can vote and leave their name and project/s. Of course the Americans might be too lazy to vote or might find they have been deleted from the forum and are ineligible to vote. But it could be fun. Spain will win for sure.

lol.

Was I the ONLY one who caught that "We got the bombs" was a joke? It's a reference from a Denis Leary comedy skit from over 12 years ago, in the 'Asshole Song'.



Speaking of Arrogance, I'm loving all the blind (erhem, ARROGANT) and horribly ignorant anti-American sentiment in this thread. Regardless of whether you're thrilled with our president, making the country out to be a bunch of lazy idiots because you're not thrilled with who's presently in power is about as arrogant and foolish as you can GET. Regardless of how much influence American developers have in the GP2X development scene, the US' contributions to the world community do not need to be re-emphasized.

The OP no doubt posted what he did due to the fact that most systems developed these days are designed in Japan or the US, and software is developed for them predominantly by the Japanese developers or American ones and is later exported to Europe. Most development does not take place there. For the longest time a game would usually come out in Japan, then the US, then Europe. Or the US, then Japan, then Europe. Generally, if a game was in English, it didn't come from Europe. It's not 'arrogance' to take a look at the game industry in a historical sense. Hell, we've had people on these forums who thought the Gp2x was FROM Japan, further re-inforcing this.

Oh, and here's my vote. I got off my enormous pork-rind eating American ass (I weigh 120 pounds) long enough to post my vote (I also voted last year in the presidential election). I'm developing two games; one is a top-scrolling 'Danmaku' style intense arcade shooter engine from scratch, the other is a 3D first-person shooter based on the Quake 1 engine for Gp2x and the enhanced FTE Quake 1 engine for PC systems. I've also already posted a release of 2XMark, a Gp2x arithmetic and multimedia benchmarking application.

*sighs deeply*

I really don't want to close another thread ...

Gracias a todos It's a very impressive line-up of talent. It would probably be wrong to say that there's no competition, but it's surely not on the basis of nationality anyway - just people trying their best to produce good software. Aunque tenemos Reesy y Squidge, por supuesto

I just noticed this. Did you just imply we lost the Korean war? Laffo.

I don't get the anti-this, anti-that crap at all... Sure, everyone thinks Americans are lazy bums...but please, keep it to yourselves. Or better yet, look up the facts and realize that we are not a different species, you are not homo europenis, and we are not homo americanassus.. Bout that with spain, yea, I'd agree...

Yeah, you are right, it doesn't matter our nationality, only the effort we make to help other people producing software, giving feedback, etc.

i think in this case it's warranted.

Yes, you lost that war. If you had won it, there wouldn't be communist there...

There are no winners in war, just corpses.

And on that note, I see nothing positive growing forth from this topic, so I must do my doody.
