GP2x News
Seleuco and Metalbrain updated their Spectrum emulator GP2xpectrum.
Changes:
What’s new:
the big stuff added by Seleuco:
– Full tzx support. New tape code for tap and tzx formats.
– Added Tape sound emulation.
– “fast loading” option to disable speed emulation, tape sound, and contended mode while the game is loaded.
– “flash loading” option to flashload tape blocks when possible.
– “edge loading” option to accelerate game loaders dynamically.
– “Tape Auto Play/Stop” option to play/stop the tape automatically. Best for multilevel games.
– A yellow play label is shown on the screen while the tape is playing; if the label is green, the emulator has detected a loader
and is applying the “edge loader” algorithm.
– Auto “full screen off-on” when the tape is playing.
– Added a Tape browser to view/select tape blocks, play/stop the tape manually and to change the tape without resetting the speccy.
– Added the possibility to select the file to load from a zip file.
– Resized the program selection screen to allow longer file names and view the file extensions.
my humble contribution (Metalbrain):
– Added reset for +2A mode.
– Fixed a bug when loading .z80 files saved in +2A/+3 mode (the ROM wasn’t properly selected).
– To improve performance, the battery won’t get polled on F100 models when battery icon is inactive, and it gets polled less frequently when active.
– Replaced the text “ROM LIST” with “PROGRAM LIST”, and “+3 disc” with “+3 disk”.
– Updated documentation.
and the finishing touch by headoverheels:
– Compiled with profiling option.

A small firmware which boots off a FAT32-formatted SD card and totally blanks the kernel, filesystem and user portions of the NAND fixing ‘bad block syndrome’ often caused by 3.0->2.0 downgrades (though it can happen simply by writing to the NAND often enough).

It leaves the bootloader in tact.
Hooka himself gave me a hint of one of his latest interviews. This time Hooka catched up Ruckage, who wrote a bunch of marvellous GP32 and GP2x Fenix games.
The first few lines of the interview:
Hooka: Who are you and what are you about?
Ruckage: I’m a 32 year old GP2X fan living in the UK with an addiction to making games.Hooka: When did you attain a GP2X?
Ruckage: 14/11/06.Hooka: What was you’re main reason for getting one?
Ruckage: Emulation originally, and the hope that I might be able to make a few games.Hooka: You mentioned you used to use DIV, how hard was it for you to learn fenix having that prior experience?
…

Gets videos from YouTube and transcodes them to GP2X compatible video files. Also supports other video portals. Includes a GUI module (youtubed-2x_gui.py)._(GP2x_Application_misc).png)
Seleuco is working on a new build of GP2xpectrum to support the TZX file format. It’s the second test version (and release client version too) and can be downloaded from GP32spain.
For those who are interested into porting / game coding, the v1.1 source code of “The Ur-Quan Masters 2X” is available.
This is not supposed to be for the “END USER”. If you are looking for the game you may go here instead: http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,29,2390
