Grafx2 is a bitmap paint program that allows you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions (from 320×200 to 1024×768, including most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320×256, 320×512, 640×256, 640×512, etc…).

Dave ported his GP32 Spectrum emulator ZXGP32 over to the GP2x.

Release notes:

I ported my GP32 spectrum emulator across to the GP2X. I was a little disappointed with the results for the following reasons.

The GP32 could run 48K games full speed at 66Mhz, the GP2X needs 120Mhz (120 v 160 respectively for 128K games). Considering they are using exactly the same z80 core (just with some data tables moved around to comply with Linux’s more stringent assembly rules) I find this rather baffling, maybe it is because the GP32 is a simpler device.

The emulator pauses for a split second every now and again, I don’t think it is the code directly causing this (as again there were no issues with GP32) but I wonder if it is because I’m am using bad coding techniques under Linux.

Every now and again the emulator freezes completely, I suspect this and the point above are related but I have no idea what the specific cause is.

There are other issues I don’t understand, currently the emulator runs in a while (1) {} loop, but I wanted to add the option to quit back to gmenu, but something as simple as changing it to while (quit_emu==0) {} causes the emulator to crash.

TBH, I’ve got to the point where I’ve lost interest in it a bit but I thought I may as well post it into the file archives ( http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,72,2724 ) and include the source in case anyone with a lot more talent for coding than me fancied fixing it. If anyone does, please try your best to refrain from pointing out what a mess my code is!

PrBoom is a cross-platform version of the classic 3D first person shooter Doom from id Software. Originally written for PC, PrBoom has been lightly modified to run on GP2X.

Release notes from Pickle:

This is the latest version of PrBoom 2.5.0 for the gp2x.

Its using all the latest open2x libs and stuff. Supports everything the previous versions did, but it should work with USB keyboards (did not test)

I used mongolito404 control code from the previous version, so thanks to him for doing most of the work.

I was playing around with it so can be ready for the wiz and pandora, so expect it to be ready day 1.

As a side note I have some very good improvements to wolf4sdl. This would have been a double release, but unfortunately there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out.

sepulep released a modified version of Pickle’s Dosbox port for the GP2x.

Release notes:

(Pickle’s port) compiled with a FM synth running on the 940 core, as well as the sources for this (and an example configuration)

it is alpha, works only for OPL2 synthesis at the moment. It doesn’t do miracles but gives a little bit more speed, I think. OPL3 support is included now, but too slow at the moment (the second core cannot keep up).

to test simply copy over executable (“dosbox”) and put the soundcore file (“code940.bin”) in the dosbox directory.

A source three with all the files different from Pickle’s port is included. The src/hardware/940 directory contains the fm engine and compiles seperately.
