Give snega2usb a better name, win one

July 8, 2009
Posted by: gruso

snega2usb

You’ve seen it on Engadget, Crunchgear, Hackaday, and the rest. But what those guys don’t know is that we saw it first on GP32X. Yay us. For those who came in late, the snega2usb is a USB interface for SNES and MegaDrive/Genesis carts, allowing to you run your own games in an emulator (on PC, or Pandora) direct from the cartridge! But packed with science and magic as it is, the one thing it lacks is a good, snappy name. So creator Matthias_H has put the call out for a new moniker, with the best suggestion winning a snega2usb prototype!

If you’d like to enter, visit the snega2usb blog and submit your entry via email. Please do not post your suggestions in the comments below; they will be ruled out instantly. Get2it!

DOSBox reconnaissance (BYO DOSBox)

June 12, 2009

Itching to know which of your DOS favourites will be playable on Pandora? Got an hour to kill? Let’s get to it. Pickle says:

Anyone can get an idea if something will run. From initial tests it appears the pandora does between 2000-3000 cycles. Try your game and see how many cycles it takes. If its more than 3000, expect it to be slow.

Yes, even running DOSBox on your PC/Mac/Penguin will give you a fair indication. As Pickle puts it, “a cycle is a cycle”. To simulate the Pandora DOSBox experience, just go into your DOSBox settings and cap the cycles at say, 3000. Then fire up your lost loves, see how well they run, and don’t be shy about reporting back with your findings. If you’re DOSBox deprived, name your favourites in the comments and someone just might test them for you.

Pandora PSP Emulator

March 29, 2009
Posted by: Butterman

JayFoxRox has posted some information about the PSP emulator he’s working on for the Pandora. It’s currently very early in development, but he already has a few screenshots. He’s aiming to get commercial games running at a reasonable speed and believes it to be very possible. The PSP has a very impressive line up of games, from GTA to LocoRoco, these would definetly be a very welcome addition to my Pandora games library. More screenshots and information at the source!

nullDC making rapid progress, Prince of Persia agrees

March 16, 2009
Posted by: gruso

YouTube Preview Image

Just four days ago we were shown the Dreamcast BIOS booting up on a Beagleboard. Today, we get Prince of Persia. This ride is fun already. Take it away, ZeZu:

Please note the framerate in this game is 30fps or so, the cpu percentage is correct and the RPS is similar to the framerate.

[ as in 8 / 30 would be 14fps+ PAL or ~16fps NTSC (if it worked out in that fashion)]

You might not label it “playable”, but its looking up from things a few days ago.

Yes. Yes it is.

nullDCe for ARM, booted on a Beagleboard

Dreamcasts? In my Pandora?! Well, not quite. If you’re hoping to see the Craiginator carving up Crazy Taxi, you might want to put a cap on that excitement for now. What we do have is the Dreamcast BIOS happily booting on a Beagleboard, courtesy of soon-to-be-knighted coders ZeZu and drkIIRaziel. An achievement in itself, and the start of a fun ride by the looks of things. Ok, it’s cause for a little excitement…

ZiB – the multiple emulator interface

January 7, 2009

Aimless_E provided this update on ZiB, the multiple emulator interface.

Okay here’s a video of ZiB running on my HP mininote. The code is far from optimized but I’m rather happy with how its coming along.

hopefully the next video will have search enabled and maybe several of the settings screen.
