Got my GP2X Wiz!
Hello folks
I just received my GP2X Wiz, courtesy of EvilDragon from gp32x.com, and the GPH guys.
I downloaded also a linux toolchain and the low-level libcastor library, both from Orkie. You’re the man! : -)
Thanks to everybody involved!
Stay tuned
Thoughts, Minimal Library SDK, and other bits…
“Hello GP32/GP2X community,
If you receive this mail is probably because you contacted with me some (long) time ago probably about my GP32 emulators, the GP2X reminiscence port, or maybe the GP2X minimal library SDK.
The bad news is that I won’t finish anything ever. I’m publicly leaving the GP32/GP2X scene as you’re reading this. I got a sexy girl and no time enough for handhelds, I’ve been idling too much since 2005, and I’m more interested lately in other fields (next-gen videogame creation mainly).
The good news is that I’ve decided to release my GP2X Minimal Library SDK v0.C (WIP ) as is it. I’ve created some sourceforge projects for those guys interested at continuing / improving my work. My webpage is also slowing changing to a new version, and focusing on community and opensource mainly. In the next days I’ll be releasing there many emulators and different software I’ve done in the past years.
Hope you don’t blame for all the missing projects I left on the road: f-day, HPL, and a few GP32 emulators.
I’d like to thank the old #retrodev/#gp32dev/#gp2xdev guys for the good old years.
It was ace to code those 14 GP32 emulators at same time when I had the time to do it. I won’t forget ever the support you guys gave me all the time.
Wish you the best, and keep up the good work!
The future will bring exciting things, but that may be another story.

God bless bits.
Btw, got a GP2X F200…
Time to update minimal v0.C for full F200 compatibility, and time to create some decent touch routines for you guys. Stay tuned.

More Minimal Library SDK news
Internal beta 0.C will be ready from 1st december 2006 to any dev who requests it.
And if you got any suggestion for 0.C before its release, it’s time to request it: the library is pretty much stable, and I won’t code 0.D for a looong time (since its time to come back and start porting all those emulators you love
So, hurry up and feel free to post your suggestions in this thread

GP2X minimal library SDK
Hello, I’m writing a small library for GP2X-Linux. My library is quite fast already and if you’re brave enough, you won’t need SDL anymore to code graphics, sound and gamepad. Enjoy it!
got my GP2x hardware! :-)
Ah! Got it at least! Kudos and thanks go to Craigix at GBAX.com for donating me such a nice prototype. Meanwhile here you have a few photos taken with my new mobile phone (ph33r my 20 eur Grundig 402i!):
GP2x parts unpacked and quickly powered:
After soldering speakers and mounting case:
By another hand, I’m still updating my HPL library and I just added inputs, sound, palettized video modes, and boring stuff. So far, the library is becoming very nice to code it with.
That’s all for now, stay tuned
