Hi everyone,

Here's the current status of these two projects:

gpSP:
Work is still being planned for gpSP. I spoke recently to Exophase. His GP2X landed up having a SD Card slot defect and it wasn't able to be fixed. He is still wanting to finish up this project, as would I. Maybe if he will see this thread it will motivate him to use the USB Storage functionality. ;P ...If he doesn't complete a dynarec for gpSP, I'll do my best to see that I finish it. I'm also hoping for future updates to be put into gpSP for the GP2X. So Exophase has just been busy and imho not motivated enough to get the dynarec started. It'll get done one way or another soon.

OpenTTD:
Expect a release shortly for the GP2X. Adding music support.

Also keep in mind eSoft Interactive gives their commercial beta testers free versions of their games so you if you want to beta test for eSoft's PocketPC / Palm / Smartphone products, send me a PM with what you will be testing with and I'll submit the list of potential beta testers to eSoft's lead.

Why cant he return the faulty 2x?

Ok thanks. I wonder why he is not motivated, doesn't he like the GP2X at all or is it because it is busted? Couldn't it be replaced from the person that sent it to him? It figures that the guy that could have made a full speed GBA emu ends up with a duff unit They should have TESTED it before sending.

I tried his GBA emu on my PSP and it is incredible. If it werent for the blurry ghosty stretchy screen I would just use that. I loaded it up on my GP2X and it looks great on that screen, no ghosting, no blurring, no stretching. Image size on the GP2X at 1:1 is not even that much smaller than a real GBA screen and close to the size of GBA running on a DS screen. The image on GP2X is about 2.5" and a GBA is about 2.8". I think on a DS it is like 2.6"

w00t! Got the Bios. i can't wait to see where this goes.

Google for it or use your favorite Pirate2Pirate warezmule program.

You aren't missing much at this stage though. It is slow, many games don't work, and the sound is very stuttery. It does show alot of promise for a quick unoptimised port though. You may have seen how far the CPS2 emu ported from the psp has come. The first version was a choppy mess and had no sound. Now it is smooth and full speed w/sound. If the GBA emu improves as much as that it would be full speed w/sound as well. The GP2X seems to handle ports of psp 2d emus pretty well.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully Exophase will get a new unit soon. Looking forward to the new version of OpenTTD as well.

Thank you zodTTD. The community is looking forward to your achievements.

I want this solely for the use of playing Tactics Advance. I could easily put 150 hours into building characters in that game.

thanks for the news
Looking forward to testing tycoon

see you

Hey Thanks for the news and updates Zodttd .



I Just bought a 2Gb Sd Card and Am only waiting for this Emu to have all GBA games in my hand .

Good Luck!!!!

I guess I am happy that the project hasn't been abandoned. This emulator showed great promise, and I think it is exactly what the GP2x needs to get the scene rolling on a roller-coaster again

I for one, am looking quite eagerly for this emu, because it will allow me to put my GBA to rest.

I would also like to thank Exophase for his effort, and hope he will get his GP2x fixed asap.

My thanks also extend to Zodtt, not only for GPSP & OpenTTD but for everything he has done for the GP2x scene. Thanks man!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I'm still thinking through gpSP. In the meantime, check out the news section for the TTD2X release just made.

Bummer. I hope Exophase's GP2X is replaced ASAP!

Great work, what is the status for psx4all btw?

Well... I fixed five or six units already... shipping to / from USA wouldnt take that long I could fix it for him...

Hopefully dead. Time would be better spent on something that is actually possible at a decent speed like GBA. You want PSX so bad get a PSP.

Banned :-)
idiot.

HA, have you really banned him?

why not?
lol

see you

Man you really know what you want don't you?

- Alex

Dave's gonna be so pissed, lol!

is that unusual?

Sounds good Zoddtd, but yeah, it would be nice to hear from Una-i and how his progress is going.

You hit the nail right on the head there, Alex.

I'm thinking of starting a playstation emulator completely from scratch. There was too much code in psx4all based on stuff like PCSX that not only shouldn't be in there, but didn't work well either.

Tinnus is interested in a project of this sort as well. I just wish I could get hlide to help with the project, as he and I stopped working on the idea once the PSP Sony emu came about. I'm going to ask Unai how things are going and if we can work something cool out.

So I'd still like to see a very optimized and portable (open?) source handheld PS1 emulator. Maybe some of the dev greats can help this project get going with me? I believe making it open source and a public SVN would be best.

As I told zottd, I have to talk with chui, I worked about a month and fixed I think a bit the interupt and IO code... so underclocking didnt break the control handling, but recently I have been quite busy, I'm changin my work...and moving to another city next week...

I plan to contine with psx4all but I need time.

That's a very good point, as it's something the PSP will never have.

Thanks Unai for the personal update. Good luck moving & work

yeah sweet !
you need time you say, take your time and enjoy life and code when you want to.(maybe theres some trix to be learned by the gpsp dynarec ?)

I think we all have to adjust ourselves to more "humane" release shedules anyway, (i got to beat that 1.st gen release drug habit)

things are looking bright, my ONLY complaint is that storage space runs out to quickly when theres so much to choose from on the gp2x (anybody know where to buy cheap SD,s ?)
i truly love the device and the gpsp and ttd thingys just made my storage problem worse

PS: o yeah my other complaint is that i dont have a time machine

Remember what happened in Red Dwarf when they jumped through time? ;P

Guys just do your thing, theres plenty of 2D PSX games Im dying to take on the road with me.

Yeah i wish u the best of luck.


It would be good to have if possible my fav ps games like:Megaman x4,x5 and x6,SOTN and others on the go!!!

they got kennedy to assassinat himself ?

Red Dwarf jumped through time too many times.

Would this be the time where they started partying with Hitler or when they messed with Kennedy? Or when Dave found out his future self married Kochanski? (they never did resolve that storyline, did they? Curse them!)

Oh, and on topic... Umm, cool!

You're getting my hopes up
