This is the definitive port of The Ur-Quan Masters to the GP2X. It is believed to be quite stable (no crashes have ever been reported by users so far and your author has neither ever had a crash.) It runs at full speed in almost every situation at 200mhz, except on planets with ridiculous tectonic or weather activity, but even then it is near full-speed.

Ur-Quan Masters is an open source port of Star Control II.

Tyrian is a computer game developed by Eclipse Productions (later named World Tree Games) and published in 1995 by Epic MegaGames.

The game was officially released as freeware in 2004, and the graphics have been made available under an open license in April 2007.

More Information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_(computer_game)

Now it turned up into Open Tyrian, since it’s been re-implemented to use SDL (check project here: http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/ )

Kalimerou ported the engine to the GP2x, but you still need the original game files.

Here are the release notes:

I don’t really have any applications to test this with right now, but over the last few days I’ve totally rewritten the scripts that compile the Open2x libraries which resolves a few long standing problems (not the MOD with SDL_mixer problem nickspoon but I am looking into that – I have confirmed it is true 😉 ), updated most of the libraries to their latest versions and have added a few new ones. Anything included will most likely be included in the Open2x firmware for dynamic linking (to give an idea of how much we’re trying to cram in there).

All this stuff should find its way into SVN within the next day or two, so if you prefer to compile your own libraries, it won’t be long now 🙂 .

To use it, just extract into your toolchain directory (compiled for the gcc 4.1.1 Open2x applications toolchain, but it will probably work on DevkitGP2X and maybe our kernel toolchain). If anybody who tests this could post here with your experiences, it’d be much appreciated!

VNCServer 2x is a simple VNC server for the GP2x made by Lithosphere. Make sure you have network working. Then telnet and launch it in background (“./vncserver2x &”). You can also put this in a script and return to the menu.

Then start a VNC Viewer to the GP2x IP address. You should see your screen on your PC. This will work on most programs (that use /dev/fb0), some programs won’t work (eg mplayer, …).
