Just had a small talk with Wubby on IRC about his progress on"Tony-Targets", which is a political shooting game for the GP32 :) Here we go:[Kojo_work] wubb000000000000000000r[Kojo_work] any news on your game?[The_Wub] hey man :)[The_Wub] I'm working on it right now :)[The_Wub] I should be doing music though ;)[Kojo_work] feel free to give me wip news;)[Kojo_work] if you like[The_Wub] I would love to :)[The_Wub] right now?[Kojo_work] hmm[Kojo_work] why not ;)[Kojo_work] shoot out[The_Wub] Ok, well the main goal has been to Miyamoto-ise the game structure. To this end, best scores for each stage are saved to SMC so as you improve your aim you can go back and achieve 100% on all the levels thus opening up new options (new stages, characters etc..).[The_Wub] The only xtra character I'll tell you about is G. B. bush (with cowboy hat ;) )[The_Wub] *G. W. Bush[The_Wub] I have most of the new code 75% there. :)[The_Wub] just massive optimising going on (thanks to ryleh)[The_Wub] That's about it :)[Kojo_work] okay i do a shameless copy and paste of those news now ;) thankshttp://www.wubfur.com/ Read more

Tyrell updated his Spectrum emulator for GP32. The changes:- Savestates added. For saving, press L+R simultaneously. A snapshot of the currently emulated machine will be performed to a .SAV file. This corresponds to a .SNA if working in 48k mode, or a .Z80 if working in 128k mode. The savestate will be *automatically* loaded the next time the game is selected in the file browser. Please note that as of now, loading a SLT savestate won't work. This is really 100% functional for 48k .ZNA or 48k/128k .Z80 files.- Added a"reboot gp32"option (active as soon as the option menu is exited). This option is not saved on SMC, otherwise it would be impossible to launch the emulator :p - Added more keys in the virtual keyboard: ss, cs, en, bs, sp (symbol shift, caps shift, enter, back space, space).- Changed the way the"key is working : it's not sending a LOAD""command anymore, but is simply sending the"key, because it was causing too many problems (depending on the rendering option).- Recompiled with GCC. A nice side effect is that sound is better (less background noise).- Reduced the executable size to about 50% of the original size, thanks to b2fxec (thanks Mr. Spiv)http://www.speccyal.be/ Read more

Another update of this genious Atari ST emulator for GP32. The changes:NEW:Keyboard delay; when an ST keyboard key is pressed (from the virtual keyboard, joystick mode's spacebar shoulder button, or cursor mode's cursor keys) then it is now depressed for a moment, instead of being pressed and released instantly. This fixes issues with a few super sensitive games like Turrican, Xenon 1 (ship transofrmation), and a few others.http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/gp32.html Read more
