Sasq released another SID player for the GP32. Thanks to GP32NEWS & GP32EMU for the news.
Small playsid-player using libpogo (no offical libs). Handles long filenames. Also handles gzipped files.Looks for sid.pak (in root) at startup. A pak-file is an archive of files, used to avoid the overhead of having many small file on a fat filsystem (the hvsid-collection takes about half as much space in a pak file). In this way, the entire hvsids collection takes only 60MB

Thor released a small slideshow for NGPC which shows the capabilities of his default “gif/jpg to ngp” import tool (up to 90 colors). Thanks to Mr. Spiv for the news!
Mr. Spiv just informed me that he made his “own version” of the GP32 BIOS. But read more…
Ok.. I made a custom BIOS to GP32 (based on English FW 1.5.7). This BIOS includes Exception handlers for Data&Prefetch Aborts (MMU and memory related errors like unaligned access) and invalid instructions. In case of Exception the BIOS runs a simple monitor which shows all possible registers, Exception reason, and relevant cp15 registers. Also a small memory browsing monitor is included. Finally the BIOS also skips the animation during the boot, which means a way faster booting time. All this was fitted into less than 3.5K of code (includes 1K of font data, all texts etc). Oh.. the USB fix is also included 🙂
Please remember that this is a PATCH! You need the original “English v1.5.7 Firmware” by yourself. I nor Mr. Spiv can support you with _any_ BIOS Files!
