Touchscreen Test

Posted By: wraggster

Newly released from GPH:

I noticed, that the very usefull touchscreen test included in firmware 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 don't work with fw 1.1.0 (or is it just me?).
Bug or intention, I don't know.
So I ripped the file from fw 1.1.0 (it's still there] and uploaded it to the archive.
Just unzip and copy it to your SD card. Now you can start it with the launcher and exit with L+R buttons.

Pollux DPC Set

Posted By: wraggster

Newly released for the Wiz from Notaz:

This file is originally included with Noiz2sa from notaz.

With this file it is possible to reduce screen tearing and remove stutter on firmware 1.1.0 in many games.
Here's an example for Quake 2:

Download Noiz2a from the archive. Copy the file pollux_dpc_set to the Quake 2 folder.

Now edit q2.gpe:

#!/bin/sh

./cpufreq --freq 750
./pollux_dpc_set 'lcd_timings=397,1,37,277,341,0,17,337;clkdiv0=9'
./sdlquake2 +set vid_ref softsdl +set s_khz 22
#for a timedemo run add +set timedemo 1 +map demo1.dm2
cd /usr/gp2x/
./gp2xmenu

Add the line starting with ./pollux... to the wrapper script. Now the application runs with changed display timings to reduce tearing and stutter on firmware 1.1.0.
Do not change the values after lcd_timings exept you know what you're doing.
Use an Unix compatible editor like Notepad++.

With this solution there is no performance hit but possible shorter battery life. Only the display timings are changed.
The tearing is not complete eliminated with this, but I hardly noticed any tearing in Quake 2 or Noiz2sa.

Credits go to notaz and Exophase. Thanks guys!

Gmenu2X Updated

Posted By: wraggster

Pickle has updated the port of Gmenu2Xfor the Wiz:



GMenu2X is a very very good alternative frontend for the wiz. It supports overclocking, sound volume setting, touchscreen, etc. GMenu2X allows you to create direct links for your games & applications so that you can directly launch them without having to browse through all the filesystem manually, resulting in a better user experience.

Gmenu2x is no longer beta
I finished adding clock and battery support for the wiz version.

The clockspeed is capped at 900 Mhz. The default clock for applications is at 550 Mhz.
It is changeable in all situations by 10 mhz.

Im not confident that the battery monitoring is accurate. I added the wiz's battery device but left the battery levels the same as the gp2x. Im assuming GPH left it the same, which they usually do.

Psx4Wiz test 8 - Playstation Emulator for Wiz

Posted By: wraggster

HardyX has released a new beta of his Playstation Emulator for the Wiz, heres the translated news:

Hello friends,
Os dejo Psx4Wiz test 8. It is a development release for those who want to test games and discuss the results. Have a read in Spanish and English with the keys and their use.

Saquéis not in the news still is not the final version. I've been working on speeding up the painting and the memory, and there is still much room for improvement. This version is slightly faster than the previous one. Later I will test with OpenGL, but I can not promise anything. These developments are bringing:

- Selection of cpu speed from 100 to 800 mhz.
- Fixed the buttons X / Y and L / R that was changing.
- Use of wiz_lib to accelerate the painted screen.
- Disabled the sound, which would earn some frames.
- Skin background menus emulator.

GPSP0.9-2Xb-u6 - GBA Emulator for GP2X

Posted By: wraggster

Notaz has released a new version of the GBA Emulator for the GP2X:

gpSP2X is a version of my (Exophase)'s emulator originally for Sony PSP.
A large amount of effort has been done to make it more optimized for the
ARM CPU present in the GP2X, however it is still very much a work in
progress.

See readme.txt for the PSP version readme, which contains a lot of
information relevant to the GP2X version (note that some of it does
not apply however).


Changelog:

0.9-2xb u6
- Fixed clock and scaling config saving.
- Fixed occasional crash on first ROM load on 1.1 firmware.
- Added LCD timing setup code, which can be controlled through
'pollux_dpc_set' environment vatiable (see gpsp.gpe wrapper script).

PSX4wiz Test 5 Released - Playstation Emulator for GP2x Wiz

Posted By: wraggster

Hardyx and others have been working on the Playstation Emulator for GP2x Wiz

This is the preliminar version of my port of PSX4ALL, based in the code published by Zodttd. The emulator is compiled using standard SDL functions and works in Wiz now. You can load games and play. It has been tested in the prototype of a friend.

The code is compiled in dynamic link mode using the GP2X SDK. This way works in both GP2X and Wiz consoles, but is not using direct hardware access and isn't optimized for Wiz. I have created a Wiz SDL wrapper for the minilib library based in the GP2X and Pandora wrapper code.

This is a developer's test version, can have bugs and isn't optimized for the hardware. Here is the executable is you want to test it, and a photo (low res) of the emu working.

Comments about testing in the console are welcomed.
