So I set out to port V3 to the GP2X. Using the mac port as a starting point, I blindly comment and attacking code untill it compiled, and eventully worked (somewhat.)

What you see is not Sully, it's just a testing program I made using the Sully map so I could test inputs. (Yeah you can't talk to Sancho. It saddens me too.) I actually got V3 games compiling on it, but it gets runtime errors on games that use structs it seems.

<somewhat_offtopic>I tried to make a gallery to hold the image, but it seems that the gallery code is el bustedo.</somewhat_offtopic>

Mmm. Porter's hall of fame. With a delicous dark brew statue.

...the screenshot section will hopefully be working again tonight.

Well opengl doesn't really add much to the linux port either. Really, it's pretty slow. FMOD is working in linux though.

I was supposed to commit the linux port to SVN today but well... work calls and I need to do that instead. So, look for the linux port to show up in SVN at some point. Then you can see if there is a way to reconcile my code with the GP2X. Linux uses SDL for keyboard, joystick, mouse so most of it might work right away.

How fast does the paradise-island demo run on that thing right now?

50, eh? So it's smooth?

Any idea why structs are causing it to bite a fat dick?

I'm thinking it's more unaligned read/write voodoo - (the processor can't do it, had similar problems when I was trying to get VergeC to compile, had to change the code in the crippled directive to get things to work) - but it's more or less a shot in the dark right now.

Frame rate seems ok on the games I got to run, thinice's matrix demo circa v3 alpha runs really nice. I got P7 to do it's logo fadein before crashing/burning/dying, but it was very slow, so there might be problems with lucency.

I am a GP2X user and have been hoping for this for a long time.

AWESOME!:)

Sully on the Road, all the frikkin' way:)

Quiet, Ness. They need not know we GP2X users' plans for world domination are underfoot....let them wallow in their ignorance!

MUAHAHAHA*cough*cough*

I wanted to reply and say "raaaa! The gp will load bumsville!"....but alas..


I got it to work by setting gamerate to 50....but ofcourse then everything runs at half speed.

It looks like so, I'm going to keep poking untill I figure out what is going on. (Like why it caps its fps to 50 and such)

Edit: And you V3 hack of the day (I've got 3 minutes! I can still log it as Saturday!)

void TimedProcessEntities()

{

	int runtill = systemtime;



	if (entitiespaused)

		return;



	while (lastentitythink < runtill)

	{

As I understand it, TimedProcessEntities() makes all the entities think for the time we've been waiting for the renderer and everything else to do its stuff, in the original code it also made the entities think for the time that entities were thinking. My hack took out entities waiting for entities to keep the loop for running forever. I ran this once on the PC and once on the GP so I'm not to sure about compatibility.

Anyway it allows me to enter bumsville on the gp, gets a pile of lag spikes but atleast it dosen't stall.
